AP 14790 - interesting blue dial?
Hi guys, I am still in the hunt for a 14790 and came across a .01 reference with what seems to be quite a unique blue dial that has apparently been confirmed by AP through their authentication service (Pictures attached). Has anyone seen one of these before? I didn't realise they put different dial colours in the same reference! Like the yves klein dial is a separate .05 reference!
I really like it, but dealer is asking for about 25-30% more than the more common blue/grey dial - is it worth it? Thanks! |

Do you like it 25% more than the normal blue dial?

I sure like it a lot, but at 25% markup on an already inflated price I would be looking for something else.

Blue Jean. In a collecting field where the dial is everything, I don't see the issue with paying up for rarity as long as you like it. Let's look at the Patek 5711/1a: white dial $90K, blue dial 110K, green dial 300K, Tiffany blue dial $3.5 million.

Thanks all! It's a nice dial but agree the price is high. Will give it some thought...

I saw this example when I was looking for a 14790st too. I like it too but it is too expensive.
Settled for another dark blue one.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Shouldn't all 14790 dial showing "Swiss Made" instead of "Swiss" only? |

To get that certificate with that handwriting is alone worth 25-30% more...

I am not so sure too as I am rather new to AP. The AUDEMARS PIGUET on the dial looks like from Series 2, but the AUTOMATIC with the flat top A, looks more like Series 1. |

Can't comment on whether it's worth it, but I would take this over the standard blue/grey dial, although I still like the salmon dial best. Looking at the premium for the salmon, it's not obvious that 25% more is crazy for this one (service dial vs original question aside).
