Sorry doubters who said ceramic bezel will be 44 only. But 44 still has the better chrono pushers...
I thought it was coming this year, as talk on here is so 44 centred that AP had to make this concession or the line would have just died out and that wouldn't be right as the 42s were my first AP love, esp the RG RC.

I really want to see live pics of the Ti 42 ceramic grey. I will probably be getting one of the first ones that a reputable grey can source at a decent price BNIB if it looks as good as I suspect.

Same here, 42 is the perfect size for me, glad they didn’t kill the line in favor of 44. There may very well be an incoming for me if the price is right.

Would be great if the case is Ti..

The last 42mm Ti/ceramic bezel offshore was the RB2

It is brushed very differently, or so it seems. In this picture, it looks to be an SS Bezel

It does looks like SS. And the finishing on the bezel looks matt to me.

Whoa! That's the old rainfall type bezel the 44s used to have and the LE ceramic 42s did too. Hope that is not on the 42s, very cheeky. All pics show this bezel, only the AP mock up shows vertical brush.

They have updated the text on their website for this model:

https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/wa....OO.A006CA.01/

You'll notice it now says titanium case instead of ss and they got rid of the black and red description of the strap but now it says blue??? We really need to see some live pics of this piece.

Man, you 42 guys can't catch a break. Guess AP are still trying to distinguish the two models, didn't think they would even make this bezel style any more.
