After some deliberation
So my search for a new timepiece began with looking at the 5167 and 5711. Why Patek, as I have a 15202or and as much as I want it in steel as well, did not think it would be the right way forward. So thought at looking at the other watches in steel. Tried on the 5167r ( as no one had the steel in my city ) and it was an amazingly comfortable watch. Tried on a white dial nautilus 5711 ( again, no one had the blue dial ) and it fit amazingly well on my skinny wrist. Then began doubting myself that 5712 is the way to go. Apart from my desire to go the Patek way, started looking at unique pieces in steel in Audemars. Hence, started looking at the 15305 but the prices apparently have shot up for it, maybe one day.
Anyways for the conclusion had seen pictures online of a new Dual Time Novelty being released for SIHH. Wasn't too sure about it as with leather straps I have noticed a gap between my wrist and the strap and it looks too bulky. Its 39mm so thought would give it a try. Called up my dealer, he had it in stock. Went and tried it on. And i knew this was it, what I wanted in my collection at the moment. Beautiful blue, comfortable fit ( had to make an extra hole though ). Apparently there is a blue rubber strap for it as well ! Couldn't find wrist pictures of this anywhere so here it is in the flesh. AP 26124st |

I was bit hesitant going for this piece at first as previously when I had tried on another Audemars with a strap, there was a big gap between the edge of my wrist and the strap which made it look a bit protruding. So I asked them to make another hole and now it fits like a glove !
