Incoming 15416ce, Just Brilliant

Happy CNY everyone,

I'm ecstatic to be able to post on my latest AP, the 15416ce! When this watch was first released, I remember drooling over posts by members who received theirs and admiring the heck out of their pics. Well I've finally got a few to post myself!

Actually I wasn't even an AP customer then, but this watch just really caught my attention. I humbly began my journey with the boutique in 2021 (waited for 6 months for my first RO) and here I am with my very own ceramic double balance wheel. To everyone who is starting their journey with AP, patience and building the relationship with the people who work there are essential, never buy pieces you don't want and always visit the boutique whenever possible, be polite and get to know everyone who works there!

Wishing you all a healthy and prosperous Year of the Rabbit!

Sheeesh that’s my grail! Congrats it looks great on you.

Best looking openworked IMO, and even better in black ceramic

Are they still putting these out with the holes on the side of the bracelet open?

That is beautiful!
What is the weight of this piece? I always wonder whether these ceramic pieces have any “feeling” on the wrist, or if they’re SO light as to feel weightless.

Thanks! I've only seen one displayed at AP House in the last two years. I've never seen one in the wild either!

Thanks! 100% agreed this is the best open worked and steel is a close second!

Thanks! Bracelet's already sized, and I actually wore it hiking in the pic. Usually I get a 1.5 link to make the watch fit closer but no ceramic links unfortunately.

Thanks! I heard from my sales they changed the bracelet on these new pieces and it's easier to change out individual links.

With 3 links removed, mine weighs 116 grams, which is about 5 grams lighter than my steel Jumbo. It feels pretty great on the wrist as a result, not too light and slim.

That’s the grail.
Massive congrats!
If you are okay with sharing it, I’d be very interested to hear your purchase history prior to allocation of this piece.
I also started in 2021 and so far have purchased 3 pieces - Code, ROC and RO.
