It's impressive, but the hole-in-the-dial look of the RO (and other) tourbillons is not my favorite. Best RO tourbillon is the one below, IMO, even if one can't actually read the time.

Both unattainable - but I prefer the latter also

I thought the RD3 is currently not for sale, only a showcase of AP's prowess in development?

If all of the above isn't impressive enough, AP is releasing a 37mm version of this watch in September, getting even further afield from the 41mm case to which a movement like this used to be relegated.

I read that as well, but it seems that the current movement would a bit tight fit into the 37mm case, with the tourbillon squished right up to the outermost edge of the dial.

I've been wanting and dreaming for a tourbillon Jumbo for many years now. Don't even want to think about what this will be on the market. 500K? Lol.

I'd take a 15407st over this any day.

Agreed. I am really hoping to get allocation of one of these. It seems highly challenging.

Whilst I haven’t seen a prototype yet I suspect that photo doesn’t do it justice at all and it will look spectacular once better photos start to emerge.

Looks great but it have maybe too much polished surfaces that blends too much... maybe combination of sandblasted and polished parts will result in better looking piece... |

I actually got to see the RD3 yesterday...it's amazing. The fact that they were able to engineer a flying tourbillon into such a thin and robust movement is a heck of a step in a direction that will make future models even more mind blowing.
Really impressed! |

Tried the 41mm version yesterday again. Amazing watch already, can’t imagine what the RD3 will look like.
Is it a no brainier to go for RD3 over the 26730? Price seemed close enough Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If you can get the 39mm and afford it in a way that lets you wear it regularly…yes, no brainer |

Where I am quotation is about 12k diff so close enough. The dial if 41mm model seemed more interesting but the 39mm is the classic petit pattern. Perhaps 39mm more understated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
