The Eagle Has Landed!

It is with immense excitement that I share with all of you my latest acquisition, the absolutely breathtaking Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked, the 26585CE!

This couldn't have been possible without the amazing team at the 57th Street boutique in Manhattan, and specifically Selin and Patrick. Over the course of the past few years I've had the privilege of purchasing several pieces and introducing several of my closest friends to the brand along with Maciej. All of which have loved their pieces and continue to add more of our friends to the Audemars Piguet family. This is a real testament to the fact that if you show passion for the brand, join events that are hosted, and exercise patience, eventually your time will come to be allocated these beautiful pieces of art.

Last weekend I went up to the airport with Maciej to hang out, and he happened to have his Nikon with him so we thought it'd be awesome to snap some pictures, as he has the double balance wheel on the tail of his plane.







and lastly on my wrist using the iPhone...



Hope you all enjoy the pics!

That’s beautiful. You’ll have another circle at 6 when the moon becomes full on Halloween.

I guess you know my thoughts. Very cool, more so because of the way you earned it.

Actually MGJ, but when the grass is green they both look really similar.
