Roger, speaking of 44mm ROOS did you maybe considered 26407TI for a base of customization?

Fabulous piece...cannot beat custom made, and not much could beat a custom AP !

The rear view is especially stunning, absolutely top level finishing.

Did you travel to Switzerland to work with the AP design team on it directly, or was it done remotely ?

Congratulations very special to have your “own” AP. May i ask what was the time from design to the finished product and did you had a change to visit during the whole process of producing? It’s handwound not automaticfor what i see?

Amazing watch 😍

Ultimate baller status. Grats Roger!

Curious - of all the tourbillons out there (other than AP) that can be piece unique, what made you settle on a 44 ROO?

A sensational creation Roger! The midnight blue tach ring and sub dials look outstanding against the RG components of the movement.

Well Roger loves PT so was sure it would be PT, no doubt, knew it was AP, was pretty sure about chrono and tourbillon, great to see another unique piece here

That particular piece didn’t exist when we started work before SIHH 2017 and in any case I wanted a more resilient bezel. One draft of mine included a platinum bezel.

It was about 20 months end to end and yes I did visit the factory and had extensive correspondence with the team throughout.

Thank you all for the nice comments.

I’m sure it looks much better in real life vs pics.
