Very nice. My wife has the black version and loves it. Still thinking whether I should get her the white one for summer.

Spectacular pick up!

How does the white ceramic material look in person? In picture definitely hard to tell how the finishing is compared to the black ceramic.

Thank you!! AP offered my wife the black one a few months back but she had her heart set on the white one as a summer watch. It's really quite striking in person

Thank you! the finishing is excellent, definitely a piece that needs to be experienced in person and the all white ceramic is very feminine. the gold highlights on the bezel and dial add some nice contrast as well as the gold case back.

Congratulations! We actually just received the call on Friday and should be expecting it in our house on Tuesday. This will be her second 34mm as she has small wrist which cannot even take 37mm.

Wonder if they make this in batches. I have seen other brands have one reference showing up everywhere then disappear for a while.

Congrats to you as well, it's a great looking piece. AP makes most of their low volume pieces in batches. our SA told us this is only the 2nd white ceramic they've received in a year.

Wow. We are lucky. This is actually the first piece my wife received from the boutique. Although I already got two pieces. Our SA really delivered.

This batch production and release system is definitely visible if you follow "incoming" threads across multiple platforms.

Recently there was a big influx of star wheel deliveries but then they stopped completely.

Hoping this means we get the call soon for a 34mm ceramic.

Got home and have a chance to look at the piece in person. The dial is iridescent and very special. The finish on the white ceramics is super fine but very subtle, the black ceramics shows the finishing better. But being subtle is good too, we took out the Chanel J12 white ceramic for comparison and the J12 looks like a toy next to the AP. I guess it was silly to try to compare. Overall a gorgeous piece.

One thing. My wife never noticed that the clasp is in black and js questioning the two little black ears sticking out. ( her words) I guess white PVD coating is not easy to make.
