I like it. That purple is soothing. I imagine it may take some color coordination with clothing/bags for my wife to wear more than once a month, though...

If I didn't already have the 26331ST blue I would be all over this. Too many blue dials in my collection to justify splurging for that, unfortunately .

Looks like 100 pieces for the ice blue will be impossible for us mortals to obtain.

Looks pretty damm good though

Love the blue chrono, but curse of the 38mm being too small for me, just like the white dial blue/sub dial one!!! Curses.

for myself, the bracelet is uncomfortably thin on those 38s, beautiful dial though.

LOL, you need to be VVIP to even entertain a serious conversation for a piece like this. Add to that it is possible this may be region specific.

One of my gripes about AP is why even put these very limited editions on the website when they're really not genuinely available and all go to very very good customers. But, I digress...

This retails at $59,000. If history is any indication, you'll see a handful pop up on the gray market at a price I'd say north of $100k and south of $125k. The closest match is a similar dial color on a platinum case perpetual calendar. That's available on the gray market for ~$180k, but I don't know the SRP on it.

59k USD is that including tax?
In the uk it’s about 57k GBP inclusive of tax so 59k including tax is a steal for any collector.
I just thought and hopes that with it being the smaller size people might turn it down as it’s not the usual 39/41mm

$59,000 USD does not include tax. Sales tax here in the US is based on jurisdiction so would generally be another 6% to 10%.

I guess it's good advertising to put it on the website. people inquire and end up buying a regular 38mm chrono which is readily available... but I feel your frustration.

Maybe because it’s limited and maximising revenue

Well.... the blue face is more than double the panda $. I’d take this over the panda if cost wasn’t a factor.

one thing I found about AP is usually their limited edition is quite accessible, like the pride of germany for example. You just have to make the effort to contact the boutique

I’ve tried and was never successful in getting an allocation.
