I was about 25.
SS Offshore Chrono with blue dial. Was like heaven!
It was all down hill after that. I don't even wanna think about the money that's been spent on watches since then....

I agree X10000000000000

When you work hard, set yourself a target and finally when you crossed it out of your objectives and treat yourself to something nice ie Vacation, Car, Watch or whatever might be is very meaningful.

I still find it to be one of the best Watches, I have 4 watches right now but I wear the Daytona SS with Black Dial the most.

First AP which I still have (AP ROO Rubberclad "White Dial")

Others are a

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore BumbleBee
Rolex Daytona SS ( Daily Watch)
Omega Speedmaster The Legend (hardly wear it)

Went to a local AD yesterday and was set on the Royal Oak Chronograph Panda Dial however also liked the classic Royal Oak 15300 white dial. I think I am leaning towards the 15300. I will keep you guys posted!!

I would rephrase the question. "At what age did you EARN your first AP." as a more acurate measure of accomplishment!
