15450 silver meet his older sibling 15300 blue
Not too much difference in size from this angle. And the light silver in the 15450 produces a visually larger dial.

Time to remove the protective stickers off the '450.

Sharp pair. I want a blue 450 but I'm worried that it will wear smaller than the silver.

Good point Tom. Just out of curiosity, I spoke to the local APSC yesterday regarding ordering a blue dial for the 15450st from Audemars Piguet Switerzland, and I was told it will not be available as a "replacement part" until 2019.

The 15450 is so gorgeous. That silver/white dial is stunning. The 15300 is a great watch too, awesome pair.

Very nice. The 37mm 15450 is perfect size for those with slimmer wrist.

Yes is it narrower throughout. The bracelet on the 15300 measures 26mm at lugs and 18mm at buckle. The 15450 bracelet measures 23mm at lugs and 16mm at buckle.

Are the 15450 black / blue dials hitting the streets any time soon?

One would assume seeing as the other SIHH releases have already been on the shelves. Hopefully someone can confirm.

15450 silver meet his older sibling 15300 blue
I just saw the grey dial 15450 at the NYC boutique on Saturday. Even they were surprised how early they got one. No blue yet, but SA confirmed it will be the same blue hue as the 15400.

The grey dial was pretty cool, but I wasn't in love with the color of the date wheel and also the white print on it. It was a bit hard to read. Otherwise a very cool shade if the shine of the silver dial is a bit too much for you.

Thanks for the update. No pics I assume? We haven't been able to find any lives of the grey dial.

No. Sorry guys. I always feel a bit awkward taking pics in an AD/Boutique. Some don't mind and some do. Decided not to at the time.

Awesome info to have! Do you happen to know the measurements for the 15400?
