Has anyone seen these LE AP's?

Does anyone have pics or seen these in boutiques?



Curious to know what they look like in real life.

They only went live on the AP site around the 19/20 July so still early days.

However in saying that I have seen a couple of green dial LE RO PC’s pop up on social media!

I’ve held the platinum bezel model.
Very nice watch IMO.

The black dial works much better than the blue especially with the whiteness of platinum.

These are already released, fortunately, unlike some of the other 2018 SIHH models. Extremely nice contrast under light, but black and blue may slightly be washed out IMO except under best lighting conditions.

Nice heft for those who love the weight.

I may be biased but think the blue dial Pt has more pop and carries the tradition special blue of Pt ROOs.

Thanks for the pics... full Pt looked much better on press pics than these live shots... and it is first 44 without ceramic bezel...

Still prefer the blue dial Pt...

I would agree, bit like the ice blue of Rolex, I tend to associate blue with platinum.

No problem, I was super excited when I saw the black dial PC think I would of preferred it over the ceramic PC that was until I realised it wasn’t SS!

Nothing wrong with Pt except the price

Yes, same dial as SIHH 2017 SS release, but brown/gold dial goes better with this gold case than ss...

I have the platinum bezel version. Had a bet with a friend that it weighed more than his platinum Daytona. Won the bet by 4-5 grams :)
