Congrats and wear it in good health.
I passed on this one when it was offered to me in July, as much as I was absolutely in love with the watch, it didn't sit well on my wrist. To this day, I keep on second guessing this decision because the timepiece is really fantastic.
Enjoy yours and congrats again!!

You can always ask for it again from your boutique, will take some time though.

I am going to have to disagree with this sentiment, although I do understand it. Obviously, the ultra-complication is in a world of its own, but the openworked tourbillion is IMHO the most beautiful of the codes to date.

Now, priced for mere mortals (although you likely have to spend a lot to get the allocation)...the starwheel is at the top. However, if both were sitting in front of me to choose, it would be the tourb for sure.
Thanks! I actually had experience trying on the newest openworked tourbillon Code and it is spectacular. If only the blue was more navy and less electric blue, also it carries such a staggering price tag
I've attached pictures for reference

Thanks! I waited about 4 months after I decided to request the starwheel as my next piece. Initially even my SA thought the wait would be much quicker but the deliveries for these turned out to be few and far between. And I'm sure there are a lot bigger customers than me who requested it too

Thanks! I do have another Code, the ceramic chronograph that I purchased when it was first released, so this is my second Code

As confirmed with my SA, there are just so few of these. Hope everyone is having a wonderful January and cheers to my fellow AP addicts

Very cool with that grey strap

Congratulations!

This and some of the tourbillons are bringing out the true potential of the Code line.

I love this piece. What kind of purchase history is required for this? My SA said you must own at least one code to even be considered

Killer! Maybe they will re-release with the navy blue and updated hands.
