Thanks for sharing. Not the usual royal oak that we can see everyday. Just stunning!

Dial is nice, but that type of stone setting on the bracelet feels dated now, in comparison to what some of the after market jewellers are doing.

The one thing I will say is that pictures really don't do the craftsmanship justice, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen in my entire life a jeweler provide the level of quality that AP does in terms of stone setting. It's absolutely flawless in every way.

Having owned multiple aftermarket diamond set royal oaks and the above mentioned royal oak in white gold, I can say factory set is miles above what any jeweller can do.
