What’s everyone take on the new AP 26238 rose gold brick. I was thinking of placing a request when it was at $83k. Now it jumped to $88k. Would you select this is the Rose Gold Vacheron with blue dial. Is the AP priced too high? Concerned about multiple price hikes prior to receiving it.

Well, by weight the brick may still be the better deal. A bit of an odd comparison, as within the general "RG sports watch" arena, the AP and the VC couldn't be more different. At the respective retail price points, I'd probably prefer the VC to the brick, but the 26239 ROC to both.

idk availability of the new RG brick but be strategic ... might open doors for other ap pieces down the line if you buy the RG brick.

I like the vacheron but never really love them when seeing them in person.

Brick for me, but I’m biased. Either way you can’t go wrong. Not sure how easy it will be to get one because I think they are trading for 125-135 in the secondary market
