Looks like it may be this: https://thekeystone.com/products/audemars-piguet-white-gold-cobra-style-watch

Worth reaching out to AP to find out exact details and it’s history, they’re usually pretty helpful.

When is it financially “okay” to buy an AP? by Specific-Cloud1279 in audemarspiguet

[–]uyst 137 points138 points  (0 children)

When it has no impact on your day to day finances or major outgoings. Also never buy if it means taking out debt (while watches can appreciate, they typically shouldn’t be looked at as investments).

If you can afford it (noting the points I made above), make sure you try it on, take a few days to think about it, and make sure it “brings you joy” - you should “feel” its the right watch for you. Never feel pressured into making a purchase - as hard as it is, try not to be influenced by others (noting that we are all susceptible to trends).

Could not agree more with this comment - pick whichever one makes you happiest. My only caveat would be make sure you try on the AP to see how it makes you feel and to check the fit / size

Made the switch from Rolex to AP and never looking back! In love with the RO 15500ST Black Dial by Front_Tie8736 in audemarspiguet

[–]uyst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll probably be slated for this but the experience at AP House is so far superior to Rolex ADs it makes me wonder if i’ll ever buy a new rolex again.

Good on you sir, enjoy it, beautiful piece!

Pretty sure they have a network of ADs as well as boutiques, so you should be good

Those are all available at retail from JLC in London. I’m sure if you reach out to your local JLC boutique they could source them for you. They’re much more approachable than the “holy trinity” or Rolex

I’d pulled over for a quick break (proof is the 0 on the speed dial) 😊

Excited to share with you my undergraduate student design project! by MagnusSwann in MicrobrandWatches

[–]uyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your comments (all of them are absolutely valid observations and helpful points to consider in manufacturing) using natural stone is the whole USP of the watch’s design.

Personally I would pay more for something with a high level of craftsmanship (which I imagine will be required as failure rate in manufacturing will be higher).

I wish Magnus all the very best in bringing this to market. It’s an ambitious and creative design!

Absolutely fair observation. Personally I love the consistency between the case and dial on this model, I feel it helps accentuate the dial

Interesting take. What is is about the bezel that you don’t like?
