You buying one

There was a lot going on and potential lost in translation--I asked twice and was told plat, but hey ask your AD. Maybe Mr. Papi doesn't know his watch very well--considering it took him three years to design it, I feel good with what we were told BY HIM LOL

You're welcome.

Beautiful watch!
Are the bezels curved from the side? Looks that way to me, but not certain.

They are breath taking.



Wow Paul - that is a sight to behold.
Do you fancy one of these incredible pieces?

Out of interest were you given any indication of roll out timescale to get 221 pieces to market - I guess it will take a few years however I asked this question on another forum and was told AP will have them all finished & to market by next summer - sounds an incredibly optimistic to me given the complexity of the piece, any insight into this?

Me too

Movement is clearly awesome, I must be stupid as I'm the only one to ask, but what exactly is a dual chrono? it means you have 2 chrono dials?
