I think I am in love with a perpetual

So here I am minding my own business in the grill room and notice in the corner of my eye someone wearing a Royal Oak. Well of course I need to investigate and walk over. This gent usually is wearing a Daytona, he has two. We know each other and have no issues to discuss what’s on our wrists. He has a blue dial perpetual on and I ask to take a look. Now I didn’t have my readers with me and the light isn’t great but I can’t get this reference off my mind. So my AP friends, what do you guys think of this watch? Is it worth pursuing? I own about 15 watches and two Royal Oaks. 15407 and a 15400, both steel.

Love the watch and literally just purchased mine on Friday from the boutique. It's the first AP to join my collection and I was fortunate to find it at the boutique in stainless with blue.

I personally find the blue dial a little hard to read - my opinion.

But love the perpetual

I’ve had the opportunity to try one on a few months back and it was just stunning! I’m not surprised you can’t get it off your mind

Amazing watch.

Just wish they’d get rid of the central hand for the week, kinda useless and clutters an already busy dial.

Yes beautiful watch. The week number would be very useful for me day to day at work too.

It is a hell of a watch. I would not hesitate to shift the 15400 and replace it with this in blue.

Totally in love with the blue PC. I am thinking about getting it is Rose Gold though. Have steel pieces already inc the 15407. Pics of me trying it on at AP below. Keep thinking about it

It's a beautiful watch for sure. The PM versions are available for pretty meaningful discounts on the grey market. Black ceramic sold out long ago.

Also, I love the week hand. Very easy to see approximately what % of the year has passed....and many of my Euro colleagues use week numbers when talking about future business events.

Dochollywood, Do you mind sharing which boutique you were able to track it down from?
