AP ReMaster 02
wow this watch is a stunner, similar retro charm as the Rolex King Midas.
https://www.audemarspiguet.com/com/f...A347CR.01.html to me the remaster02 is a reaffirmation of AP's standing as a design authority and trend setter in watches. just a bit disappointing that they only do 250 pieces. will be curious to see when they pop up on reseller sites and chrono24.

It’s an interesting enough piece but the pricing ($50k for a fashion watch with 1 strap, no date) is insane...
It's not wearable even as a somewhat daily, too big for women and too large / too flashy for a true dress watch, doesn't work as a work watch and certainly isn't a weekender... So it's a watch to have cocktails with your fashionista friends on a Thursday eve And of course it's "limited edition" to ensure folks will be clamoring for it... I'd be careful that AP doesn't fall into the Omega trap where they trip over themselves with LEs |

It is simply too large to be appealing to me, ruined the whole vintage vibe by making it the size of a old desktop monitor, but applaud AP for attempting to quell the one watch brand nonsense.

Like the idea, but poor execution. Needed to be 37-39mm with a manual wound movement. Also, not be a limited edition and priced in the 30's

I actually find the design very attractive, and captures AP’s brutish non-conventional ethos perfectly. A sad missed opportunity in my opinion… |

IMO the entire watch is too large and too attention getting for its own good. If it was 38-39mm you may get away with it but an rectangular block of sand gold with hard edges and a protruding crown is a bit much. Add to that it's only available in gold (which makes it less of a daily) and there you have it. Of course it won't matter since AP will surely find 250 VVVIPs queued up to sell yet another LE to that will most likely be stored as yet another safe queen in the hopes of appreciating collectibility |

Seems like a couple of people on Reddit already collected theirs; I don't think it's at the e.g., John Mayer QP level of access. Looking forward to seeing it IRL to judge the size myself.

the size could perhaps be an issue for me indeed
OTOH that's the case for me w/ 70% of AP's lineup..

To be honest I expected it to wear much larger. It was quite comfortable on my 6.5” wrist. |

Its one of those things I think looks cool in pics but would not do it for me on my wrist in person.

AP ReMaster 02
I just saw this in person at the AP house and it’s magnificent.
The gold alloy is a darker silver color with a hint of rose gold. Not typical white gold and not rose gold but a fantastic inbetween ….. understated and warm without being excessively rich in color. The case shape looks like it would sit extremely well on my 7 inch wrist. The heft , case shape angles and asymmetry were all extremely pleasing in person. I suspect future owners will be extremely happy with their purchase. ..Explorer & Spring Diver - I’m just here for the photos.. |

How hard are these to get? I like this model. I wish it was 2mm smaller but do appreciate the modern take to this model.

AP created art work in watch making! The watch journey is great and this watch is definitely unique!

Got to handle the Remaster 02 today - I think it is a great addition to the catalogue. Would be by far the dressiest watch in my collection, but would really like to have one. Unfortunately, I don't expect my entertainment budget to recover before they are sold out.
