Icon1 2x Hodinkee // 34mm RO

I'm so glad this reference is getting some prime time

first on the black ceramic version 11/22 - https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/th...veryones-minds

and most recently yesterday 12/16 - https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/th...ue-proposition

the polarization in the comments section is always amazing/funny to see

I think given the reaction/demand from folks, AP got the signal they needed to.

I'm hoping they can expand the collection in this size with more variation (maybe a blue dial w/o the diamonds, more precious metal choices). Will continue to fly in '22 and beyond

I'm so glad I spent 18k on a 41mm just a few years ago. 22k for a 34mm steel RO is hard to swallow.

I'm glad they raised the prices - AP is batting in the ballpark they should aspire to be in, and its working. I agree with the OP, 22k for any AP is a steal these days. You just need tiny wrists to pull-off the 34mm RO.

The steel 34mm silver dial is already pushing 30K+ in the market. The demand for any RO is insane right now.
