I haven't owned a blue dialed either so I think it's the best choice for me too. Haven't seen it live though but I have a guess that the colour shifts in different lights? :) |

You should really see them live if you can. The 15202 is another nice option but a bit harder to get.

I've thought about a RO for about 2-3 years and after trying on a white and black, I wanted a black dial. That was during the beginning and never pulled the trigger.
As I continued my watch purchases, I found myself thinking more about the RO and started looking for a black dial again. One day I go to the boutique and try on a blue dial for the heck of it. Amazing. I knew blue was perfect for me. In most lighting it's a slate color but with hints of blue. Dark like I prefered, with a hint of something different from all my other black dials. I had also went with a 15400. I started off looking for a 15300 because it seemed harder to get due to the disco but the more time that went by, the more I realized looks wise, I prefered the 400, and getting a 300 just because they didnt make anymore seemed a bit more mute. Blue 15400 it was! |

I also like the 400 just a tad better. Particularly the hash marks at 12. They're both beautiful though.

Wow, that blue really stands out. I was always leaning towards a white/silver dial for either the 15300 or 15400 but that makes me reconsider my color choice for the dial.

Blue is the color for AP RO and you chose well. I really like this piece but got the 15202 instead for the classic size and movement and of course the deeper blue which I prefer. This piece you have is now boutique only and limited production.

Stunning. 15400 blue dial is the quintessential Royal Oak.

Nice! I love the blue on RO's although this blue is very different I think from the blue on the 15300.
Would love to see them side by side... |

I agree the watch is beautiful.
reliable movement (believe me, I am a watchmaker) I think stainless steel case is better than white gold, because white gold Audemar Piguet is covered with rhodium. After 5-10 years stainless steel case can be polished in any A.P service center, but gold with covering can be restored only in Switzerland. If you shave hands , the watch will look much better))) |
