Very curious about the case thickness vs. the other 42mm ROOs.

It's a thinner case b/c of the FP 1185. Tim reviewed it from SIHH, and made mention of that.

Cool! I like the colour and the pushers, but am not sold on the date position

Not a big fan of the hands and seconds subdial, but nice watch overall

A case thickness of 12.8 MM ... Compared to a case thickness of 14.55 MM for REF. #26470ST ... 1.75 MM reduction ... not bad!

And a quick side by side comparison ...

My concern/confusion is the following:
Why does this watch having the F.Piguet movement from the ROC as opposed to the 3126 with the open case from all other ROOC? Does the closed case back offer better anti-magnetic protection, and they want this ROO to be a bit more rugged??
When will the new chrono movement make its way into the ROC and ROO lines?

Since it's not limited run, I can see this watch taking a huge hit with this movement in place, once the new movement gets placed in ROC and ROO.

I'm trying to decide on the 38mm ROC and this watch -- each of course provides a very different look.

BTW-- the 38mm chrono will have the same sized bracelet as the 15450, which I was disappointed to hear (as opposed to the wider bracelet from the 15202)

I really like this watch-- the blue dial and grey sub dials look amazing from the pics I was sent from Switzerland. But........... I'm worried about this watch taking a huge beating on the secondary market once the new line comes out with the new movements.
As much as I love AP, this seems like a bit of a money grab by them to price it at $28k with a movement that is on its way out.

Here's my hands-on review. Pricing is $26,800 USD.

Terrific review. Now I'm a bit concerned about the width of the watch being a bit larger than other 42mm ROOC models. lol

Another nope.
Is AP now going to make the 42mm ROO look like a "beefed up" RO or a "junior" 44mm?

I honestly don’t think the new in house calibre 4400 (4401 in code 11.59) will fit in the royal oak chronograph... its 32x6.8mm where as the caliber 2835 is 26.2x5.5mm. The 32mm will fit the case a lot better (like the 15500 vs 15400) however the thickness is absurdly fat and not sure they can fit it well into the ROC. The current ROC is 11-ish mm thick and if they want to do this new movement plus a display caseback it’ll likely have to grow quite a bit in thickness... even more than the fatness of 15500 over 15400

Should’ve housed the new 4401 movement

[Fat_ninja]

What happens to this watch if there is no FP movement available? Just currious
