Yes yes I know they were all designed/ inspired by the same guy but everything looks similar to the RO/ the RO looks similar to it. Makes me wonder what’s next as the code is ok and the ROO is a bulkier RO. Will AP come up with a brand new model?

Whole new watches take ages. Look at Rolex! The last one was 2012 and then I guess you can say 2023. Code isn’t even 5 years old!

It takes years to develop new reference. From memory of what I have read, the Code took 7 years.
If you zoom out a bit, AP is almost 150 years old, and the RO has been in the line up for 50 years. ROO and ROC spun out from the RO.
So AP has close to 100 years history without the RO where it was known for building high complicated watches. And I think this is what they tried to do with the Code and bring back some of that heritage and history. As the model is still quite new, I'd expect further development there, iso launching a new model.

It's also quite important to see what will happen when FHB steps out and the new CEO takes over.
