Interesting look, though I find the use of a two-tone case on a dressy watch on a leather strap to be.......odd
Biggest issue is the price. US$53,100????!?! Are they f***ing kidding? This looks like a "limited edition" cash grab, which in the current environment is tone deaf. Best part about this watch is the in-house chrono movement...in which case I'd pick up the blue dial -solid- rose gold Code11.59 chrono at a cheaper price over this any day of the week. |

Beautiful! Will not land well with all the young sports/steel guys. But absolutely stunning.

Initial reaction is that I find the dial much more pleasing than the CODE's and also like the retro amalgamation with a bit of modern design, although as with CODE, its not a style of AP that would interest me. At $53k plus tax, it does seem a high price for a watch that's largely of steel.

I love it. I think the price is off for what it is, but stylistically it suits me. Wish it was manual wind. Overall I think it's a stunner and a neat direction.

Personally I would be going for a steel Vacheron CDV for less money.

Personally I like the dial although they could have integrated the subdials better as they're too close to the edge. I presume this is deliberate but I find it "off". Furthermore this two tone case is disturbing, just doesn't look good at all. Finally that price, ouch...there are other options for that coin.

This timepiece will be one of a collector item. This is a classic look.

Nice retro dial but there are definitely several brands I would get for a dressy chronograph over this (including Montblanc).

Dial looks very nice, typography, balance and layout is great. Will have to see it in the metal to judge the case but I think for me they should have made it a manual wind.

THIS is what the Code SHOULD have been. I dig it.
Generally not a fan of two tone watches as a whole, and interesting price bracket with it mainly being steel vs the full PM Code chrono clocking in cheaper if I recall correctly - but from a visual interest perspective I love it.

Nice watch apart from the two tone. Should have made it in solid rose gold.
Pricing is ridiculous. It wont sell out at all so no need to queue up. |

I find the dial to be quite nice and I am a fan. I am not sure about the two-tone, but would reserve judgement there until I saw it in person.
I've got to be honest though in saying the leather strap seems like an odd choice and is throwing off the entire vibe of the watch for me (at least in photos). MSRP seems literally insane. |

Thumbs down.
And the price is ridiculously high.

I like it but for a classic style watch over 50k I prefer what Patek and even Lange have to offer.

Actually I hope I can get to try one on as I really like it, I’ll be interested to see the UK price.

Like the classic, late art deco styling, but price for a TT is crazy as we all agree, like with the Code they should have made this in SS for £25K, underpricing is so key, and now even more so.
So this is called the [Re]master01 and the other one is the Code11.59 - who is coming up with these awkward user-unfriendly names - is there anyone in the marketing dept who isn't a billionaire's son and close friend of FHB? |
