Just got my first Audemars Piguet

I had a YG GMT-IIC for a while and ended up getting rid of it [see other posts for details]. I thought I'd get a Daytona but I ended up going with something different - an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph. Didn't go with the Offshore because it's too big in my opinion and not as timeless as the Royal Oak. It's 18K yellow gold with white dial and black croc strap on a matching AP gold deployment. Got it at Westime on Rodeo Dr.

I'll probably post more pictures in the coming days.

Not for now. My next watch will either be a Daytona [YG or maybbeeee Everose], or another AP, or maybe a Richard Mille.

Fantastic! There is something about the way APs look in gold.....and Im generally not a gold watch guy.

Enjoy it!

Congrats! That is an absolutely amazing watch. I am usually not a fan of YG/RG pieces (I prefer SS), but the gold RO and ROC just works! I recently just got a SS ROC (last weekend), and absolutely love it.

There was also a RG ROC with the gray dial available which I really loved, but unfortunately out of my budget.

Enjoy and wear in good health! Thanks for sharing.
