Preview of Audemars Piguet 2019 Novelties - ** Not Code ***

[1st amg]

Thanks Ben for the best 8 minutes start to my day. Great write up and pics....I seem to really like the brown RG 44 and that blue 44. I believe the blue 44mm was recently on an episode of Ballers. It really pops. I think that watch is for the guy who has multiple AP

Thanks for the review!

Great review and photographs. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing! Would you say the 15500 blue is similar to the 15400?

Keep coming back to this post to check that rose gold 15500 on black strap...looks amazing!

In my memory, the blue in the 15500 is of a slightly darker shade compare to 15400. But I can't say for sure as I don't have a 15400 with me to do a side by side comparison.

Ben - pics as usual are droolworthy. I feel that your pics are "too good" :)

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Like 15500 blue and grey.

Thank you!!
Very good points!

The blue 15500 is the only one I was not able to see. Your pics (and all others I have seen) look like a really nice shade and crisp pattern. It's a winner (my movement comments still apply though).

The blue the only one I didn’t see in person as well, but it’s the one I ordered and paid the deposit, lol. Can’t wait to get it...

Dope review! Many thanks.

the more I think about this - I'm debating cancelling my deposit for the new 42m Titanium piece. Starting to agree it doesn't really stand out - and hate having doubts about fun new acquisitions. Any thoughts?

Amazing pictures, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on these, Ben. Wow, that open worked looks gorgeous.

Could you please elaborate on why you felt the new RO caliber is better finished?

[mr_gray]

thankyou for this. the quality of the photos is really something.

for mine the frosted WQ skeletonised is the best looking watch there. i think the blue 15500 is the second best. so much space on that dial!

[myporsche]

Thanks for sharing and the pics. Not a big fan of the Titanium ROO after seeing these pics, looks too busy. The new 44 ROO have some more interesting options and potential with different (non camo) straps.

Nice pics as always Ben! Did you use any camera or just HP?

I saw some incomings for 15500 in Singapore already in some of the local watch groups.

Funny you say this.............I'm thinking of doing the same for two reasons:
1. I'm not sure I can pull it off size wise with my small wrist.
2. The hands look as though they won't be that easy to read, depending on the lighting.

[bruinmd]

Ben, I'm torn on the new 26480ti that I have a deposit for. You have slightly bigger wrists than me, and it looked a tad big on your wrist, which is strange, b/c the 44m ROOC you tried on fit you quite well-- at least from the pics.

I love the blue and grey dial/subdial combo but if you're saying it doesn't pop in person, coupled with how big it wears, I might ask for a refund on my deposit on this watch.

It's in the finer details, such as movement finishing, showing a bit more parts, more elaborate. Mostly only noticeable under a loupe. But I think the older 3120 rotor with those nice engravings looks better. Overall I prefer the new calibre.

Could be the angle I took, which is a closed up hence looks bigger. Yes, the dial doesn't pop to me but I can appreciate some people might prefer it for it's more "understated" looks. That's why I always feel it is important to see a watch irl before deciding to buy to avoid dissapointment.

Understood. Thanks again, my friend.

Great Photos! Thanks

Thanks Ben, I really enjoyed this writeup.
I feel more "up to speed" now on recent AP releases.
