Incoming! Slate Grey Royal Oak 15500

Hi y’all! I just picked up this 15500 with slate grey dial. I was initially skeptical of the 15500 but recently came around to them. I was deciding between the slate grey and black, and decided on grey as I find it a bit more unique and I have enough black watches. I also have a blue 15450 which is a stunning watch, but I felt it wore a bit too small on me at times. I’m loving this so far. Enjoy!

very nice. mine is at AD awaiting me to pickup. Can anyone tell me is Ruthenium just unique to the grey dial ? Is it Ruthenium plated, or a solid piece of Ruthenium, if there even is such a thing ? I already saw one person write Ruthenium here, is it the only AP that is Ruthenium plated/solid/whatever ? Thanks for anyone's expertise here ! i did opt for this one over black/white (blue is boutique only...) because of the allure of the word RUTHENIUM ;))

As far as I know, the dial is not made of ruthenium. The grey 15400 was called ruthenium because the color resembles that of ruthenium. Although the color did not change with the 15500, they changed the name to grey dial. So grey and ruthenium are the same, both just referring to the color of the dial and not the material.
