Unique Piece 26240CE

Not something that I’d ever lust after:

For a charity auction - will be interesting to see what the price is. If it was a regular production model, I'm not sure I'd take it over a 26240CE, but I also wouldn't say no....

Admirable as always when charity auctions are concerned, but to me it's 'just' a blue dial on an existing model, lovely as it is. I'm sure it will fetch a very nice price though.

But...

"...combines black ceramic with a bright blue dial...”

Really? Bright blue?

I bet this really is bright blue and really pops IRL, just not in pictures. I trust their descriptions 100%, but their renders not so much.

p.s.

I'm a Brit and can't afford anything now :(

If it mimics the satin dial finish of the Code dials, then it probably reflects blindingly bright as your roll your wrist.

nice catch - you guys spend your life on the AP website or did you write a macro to get automatic heads-ups ;-)

Actually the latter, but it still needs me to make a post :) …and it doesn’t always work.

This new trend of disclosing new models all year long, sometimes without publicity at all, is definitely interesting and keeps you on your toes.

But I think I preferred the good old days where all new year's novelties were presented in Feb or March, so you could decide which one(s) you liked best and try to get it.

Agreed, when did AP started this? Only this year right?

So hard to do this when you’re deciding what you want without knowing what’s really coming lol

Yes. One or two years ago. I think I remember them doing that last year as well, even if a bit less.

Since they left SIHH in 2020 basically.
