There is also a RO in WG and blue dial.

And also a new Code with baguette hour markers.

Wish they made that purple QP without the diamonds.

Rumors were they were a special custom order of a group of important clients in Asia. I still highly doubt these hammer pattern references will be making their way to most boutiques and AP Houses… Still nice to see their images on the AP site

Sounds like they won't be available in the US...

[Reign]

Yes, Asia and I think Japan exclusives (for tourbs and CODE). People in other markets can ask but it’s become harder now than before to get a one off regional special delivered to your home market

The guys from Japan wear those hammered tourbillons for months....

They did…

Curious how the "hammered" dials are made - given that the pattern is identical on all of them, I assume no actual hammering is involved.

Nice to see more dial experimentation on the Code three handers.

$62k for a no date code three hander?? Besides the diamond hour markers, what am I missing here? Sodalite dial can't be that expensive to manufacture.

Yeah, indeed pricey. 27K over the standard 3 hander in WG for...sodalite dial and 8 baguette diamonds...I see now it's a special edition

Was just browsing through the site and I can see that all 50th anniversary pieces have their prices removed.
Probably there will be an update of the website soon with the new references.

Indeed. Doesn't appear one of the usual glitches. Will be interesting to see if all the dial colors, case materials etc make it to the regular collection.

Probably a way also to lower the prices on some pieces …

Can’t see that whilst we’re still (just) in the 50th Anniversary for the Royal Oak…..

I admire your optimism

My initial thought about the hidden prices is that another price increase is coming :( But then greg’s post actually gave me a glimmer of hope…for just a second. *sigh*

[gregouille]

Haha
However i know that they will be no price increase beginning of 2023. So don’t worry about this

I’m not even seeing the 15510/15550 when I search for them on the AP site.

They got moved to the legacy tab, so they are officially gone. Kind of sad that AP seems to stick with the 15500 dial layout

Thanks. To be clear, I can get to those pages if I google the ref number. But if I go on the site then try to search for these refs, I cannot see them. Probably maintenance to transition the 50th refs.

[AEV]

It seems the website is still being updated.
15510 and 15550 are there.
So does 15500….still not removed

26240 are missing so are 16202 in steel and rose gold.
Can’t imagine these being discontinued

I love AP, but their website updates feel like an intern or two are editing the html code of the live site in real-time while everybody is watching.
