Im confunsed about this AP watch

Dear all,
This is my first time to buy an AP
I found this watch with a good price and i want to know its model,
The sellers are good people i know them, while they say its a new/ unworn AP, 37 mm - model 2016

I want to know if anyone knows this model (photo is attached) and if anyone knows its average price.

Also i want to know if a 37mm ap can be suitable for me as a male watch or it is too small to be a male watch (from ur perspective)

Many thanks :)

I would pass, that is very dated. I'd get a modern 37mm or this RO in a similar size and style.

It looks like it's been over ploished with round edges, I would stay away.

Looking at the crown and markers it looks like the base Lady Royal Oak Quartz that is 33mm. My wife has the Auto version with diamond bezel and I would say its much too small for most men.

Yes, looks like a 33mm quartz model. Not sure how “good people” they are if they’re telling you it’s a 37mm model.

Here’s a link to AP’s description of the watch:

I haven't seen this piece, but it the design aspects seem like a later 2000s early 2010s. I would opt for the newer 15450 if you are considering 37mm. Cheers!

I don't believe the size is 37mm .. this is a model that was done in a 33mm case and that the movement is quartz ..

during the time this was produced a 37mm case didn't exist . just my two bits :-)..

hope this helps

In addition to what has already been said; it looks too feminine. I would choose something else.

This is likely quartz model

I’d strongly recommend the mechanical model instead.
