It's amazing. Love the ice blue with the navy blue accents. Unfortunately, with only 100 pieces made, I have no chance..

Ha! I seem to like the ones that are hard to get too. It is beautiful but this wrist likely won't be wearing one.

I saw the WatchPro article on this new release. I got excited and I wanted one until I read the part where it said 100 pieces made. I too won’t be getting one.

If you guys are interested and have somewhat of a boutique relationship, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask. Even though it’s only 100 pieces, I wouldn’t overestimate things if you’re very interested and express that to your SA

How did they miss the opportunity to make it a “Royal PlatOak”?

Platinum DD & Daytona dial color brought that to mind

This watch is out of this world gorgeous.

I knew the answer before I was even asked, but I was told "no". However, in a way that didn't make me feel frustrated (which I always appreciate).

At the end of the day, Reign is correct. You're never going to get something you don't ask for. Well, most of us won't anyway

Beautiful dial.

Wish the case/bracelet was steel or titanium.

But I guess with that dial and in white gold, somewhat a Platona competitor.

Eh, not sure about the tone of the dial exactly. I know it's the same they've done for the perpetual before, so it's not even all new.

What would've made it truly special is a 39mm case. As is, I like the look of my grey dial 315 better. Not that this would present an opportunity anyway ...

This is the color scheme the platona should have been made with.

This is one of the most gorgeous timepiece, too bad it isn't available to most people.

I was offered it this week and declined. 38mm is too small for me.

How big is your wrist?

I prefer 39mm up too, but for this beauty I will take it.

And just like that a sales woman for WatchBox (https://www.thewatchbox.com) already has one for secondary market sale. That was fast. Guess AP isn't doing great customer vetting in Hong Kong...

Looks like the AP boutique in the background...not saying they do not have one but it is also common for grey market dealers claiming they have stuff when they don't and using demo boutique pieces to create the illusion.

She doesn’t say anything about it being for sale, she probably just popped into the AD to try it on for fun as many people on this forum do.

This prototype is available for viewing in AP House HK. Deliveries have not started yet in HK. You can see some photos of it on my IG.
