I haven’t taken the grey 15500 off since acquiring it, it’s just a fantastic watch.

The new minute track around the perimeter of the dial gives it a little more depth, the placement of the date window further out is perfect (pat on the back for matching the date window to the dial color), and the open lower half of the dial gives you more space to appreciate the grande tappiserie without it being disrupted by “Automatic”. Quite often I find myself just moving my wrist, staring at various points of the dial, bracelet, and case and seeing how they play off the light.

Photographs really don’t do it justice. The forum can argue sizes and aesthetics all day (part of the fun here!) but I think once more people are able to handle it the consensus will build that it’s a big hit

Couldn’t be happier with my first foray into AP

Agree. It keeps growing on me even after half a year

They really did it right with that one! Enjoy it!

Really? Don't own one but now I know it is worth having...
Congrats

Agreed! I picked up a gray 15500 a few weeks back (my first AP) and couldn’t be happier with it. So much more beautiful in the metal!

I have the blue dial, the dial is amazing on this piece, I also looked at the grey and would happily have had either, enjoy yours

I gave up my allocation and switched to black. My only issue with the gray dial is it's borderline illegible.
