First AP Incoming!
After meeting the AP historian, Michael Friedman, 5 years ago and learning about the brand for the first time, I’ve finally gotten the chance to get my first AP, a stainless steel Royal Oak reference 15300. I wanted the classic 39mm size but figured that a 15202 wasn’t yet feasible to get at retail or pay the high premium for. This was a difficult watch to track down but it was well worth the effort!

That is the perfect size. I was going to consider the 15450 at first but I think the 15300 looks great!

Perfect size for your wrist and the silver (not white!) dial is lovely.

Congrats love the 15300! I had it as well as silver dial 15400 and have to say the size of the 15300 is just perfect. Wear it in good health! Cheers,

Thanks! I’ve tried the 15400 before, which would’ve been way easier to track down, and it’s just a little bigger than I would’ve liked. Also I find the case on the 15450, 15400, and 15500 to be a tad bit thick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Love it. 39mm is perfect. Simple, and classy. The way a luxury watch should be.
