Excited to see the 38mm QP if the rumors are true.

dchang81 21 February 2025 06:47 AM

Weird prices are back up and are unchanged

Gandor 21 February 2025 07:46 AM

Unchanged… yet.

Fingers crossed that's the plan, but that is what I would do!

Things I still wanna see
39mm Jumbo in White or BLack ceramic
New Dial color for the jumbo
New color drop for the ROO
MORE Yellow Gold Pieces


There should be another one at some point that pays homage to their past. Not sure what that means since that could take a lot of forms (QP, openworked etc)

I'm curious if the new skeleton models will be 'cooler' looking than the current 41mm skeleton double balance.. the ones with the matching balance wheel bridges look so bad compared to the yellow gold looking double balance bridges.

I believe someone stated that there’s no new OW for now at least. Regarding the design, while I liked the gold bridge too, the other iterations allow for a cohesive contrast between the upper and lower ‘levels’ of the movement i.e. the depth to be much better appreciated, as opposed to the ‘distraction’ of the gold bridge which pulls one’s gaze immediately away from everything else. Again, they’re all awesome, and I’m curious to see if AP could innovate further in this area.:cheers:

While I personally like the original 15407ST with the Gold Bridge, 100% the new version INVITES you look deeper into the movement where as the eye is drawn to the Gold Bridge on the 15407.

Both are interesting in their own right and both equally amazing my take away is that for many people the larger Gold Bridge stands out and makes a statement over powering the inner workings, while the NON gold Bridge you have to really stop and look deep into the dial to see the amazing craftsmanship going on.

New version on the wrist at the AP house in Switzerland (The tone of the Yellow gold has definitely changed to a much lighter gold almost mixed with Sand Gold)

Feel like I’ve wait 150 years for this…

Many thanks! That said, I am ready to be disappointed on both fronts (lack of interesting pieces AND levels of exclusivity that are out of reach).

In any event, looking forward to it!

Well the rumours are every single 150th piece is above 200k usd and LE150 so you can take that into account now

I've also heard the customer vetting process will be extensive and require a long history with AP for an allocation. We'll know more in a few hours :)

gretch6364 25 February 2025 09:12 AM

Maybe that will suck the high end collectors up market and allow some more people access to the second tier of non-LE models.

This would be the price for chrono + tourb in a 39mm ‘Jumbo’ case.
I'm expecting new steel QP around 100K-150K range to fit my budget (I hope)

edo 25 February 2025 09:49 AM

Good thing they did not include the timer... last time they included the timer at 11:59 for something named 11:59 and they missed the launch for 45 minutes :agree::agree:

What time does it release

Same here. I'm hoping for the new QP in steel.

I wait for that new mistic QP like nothing before because some insiders said that it will totally change the QP game, make other powerhouses thinking, and that it is something never done before... and beside having it super easy just crown operated I don't see what they can bring on the table...

Wish List:
70hr+ PR
50m+ WR
<10mm thickness
39mm
Eternal Calendar
Crown operated
Bi-Directional Time Setting
52/53 week adjustment or removal of weekly calendar pointer
Novel way of quick setting the calendar
Some kind of chiming function?

Same here. With a different shade of blue. Being able to get it is a different story.

I heard the 150 anniversary treatment will be disappointing....not worth going after it.
