Rolex Daytona 116506 vs Audemars Piguet 15407st

Hello,

Last night I got a call that it would be possible to get a Aufemars Piguet 15407steel.
It’s a great piece, but I don’t know if I should sell my 1 year old Platin Daytona to buy the Skeleton?!
What would you do?

I would personally do it without hesitation, the 15407 is my favorite watch!!

But I don’t know if you should do it, one more thing that’s super important is fit. How big is your wrist? I have tiny wrists, the Daytona fits well, and so does my 15450, but the 15400/15407 is way too big for me…

I’m a Daytona fan but that AP skeleton is in another league.

I'm in a similar situation with a watch I have and one I want so I'm going to see them side by side and then let my heart and instinct tell me.

The level of finishing on the 116506 is no different than the 116500. Imho the 116506 looks very "basic" compared to the 15407st

This isn’t even a fair contest, openworked all day everyday

My only concern would be if you purchased the 116506 at retail and then paying a premium on the 15407!

Both such special watches.

Are you getting the AP at retail?
If not— as cool as it is— I couldn’t give up the Platona for it.

15407 if at retail. If at premium, I would stick with the platona, it is one of my favorites

One of the easiest polls for me - the 15407 is on another planet.

Love the Daytona as I'm a big Daytona fan but I have to say the 15407 is a damn beautiful watch.

I wouldn’t do that ... The Platona smokes that AP imho.
I’m not a skeleton fan though . No skeletons for me
already have one on my person ...

Huge Daytona fan here as well but I agree with the others that AP is in another league.
