Is this watch officially discontinued? Or am I overlooking it in the catalogue?

Possibly the best looking AT; they are hard to find (I got mine earlier this year)

I spent the entire week wearing mine and it looks simply wonderful regardless of strap or bracelet. Great watch. Far and away my favourite AT!

This was the nicest AT ever. I thought the 2500 series was nicer looking than the 8500 ATs. Price was right and not too thick.

I don't see it either. Does anyone know the answer to the question?

Off topic some, I have the equally rare, black dialed, chronograph version.

They were both made for a relatively short time and they were both discontinued a few years ago.

Like the one you posted, both are very tough to find. (incidentally, there is a black chrono like mine for sale right here on TRF, first I have seen in ages)

Yes, sadly this AT is discontinued. I happened to get mine brand new about seven years ago at a 50% discount, at a jewelry store that was going out of business. I wasn't even in the market for a new watch, but I figured what the hell, at that price I couldn't pass it up. Now I am so glad I grabbed it! Such a beauty.

Thanks for reminding me. Now I'm going to wear it today.

Yup! I bought mine 7 years ago as well but I did not get quite a good of a discount. Mine was bought at an airport outside US and I got 30 off plus tax free. I believe the MSRP on my chrono was 5000 USD at the time.

I just spent 800 on a full factory service not long ago. That hurt!

Ha, I feel your pain. I paid around $600 for a service about a year ago too. But it's awesome that you scored a 30% discount! And your chrono is absolutely beautiful. Any more photos of it?
