I wish it were a little busier, then it would be awesome.

Other than being so thin, which I appreciate, is want this thing.

I like the larger sub dials but not a big fan of the plain dial. Plus 42 is quite large. Moon phase on top is a nice touch.

epic · 6 June 2019, 11:14 AM

Saw the Specs on AP site and its stated as 41mm like size of the current 26574 PC.

However I prefer the prototype with the blue Grande Tapisserie which projects a more classic and sporty look.

Nevertheless an achievement for AP on the thinness of this movement.

Cheers

I like this one better with the flat dial, looks very clean. However the diameter is too large for my liking, I wish it was 39mm or 40mm.

edo · 6 June 2019, 07:50 PM

And the platinum bezel is mirror polished like many other RO Pt bezels?

GMN2030 · 6 June 2019, 07:59 PM

I have noticed the display for the leap year sub dial is anti-clockwise. Is there a technical explanation ?

Yes, it is mirror polished... first arrival by horoloupe...

Soly20 · 6 June 2019, 11:26 PM

That looks good!

Mbbgysam · 6 June 2019, 11:30 PM

Wow - I think the real life photo looks better than the stock photos!

Does anyone know the purpose of the screws in the back of each link? I don't recall ever seeing that before on a RO bracelet. Perhaps it allows a watchmaker to fully dismantle during service to achieve different polishes on the titanium vs. platinum?

HK Islandboy · 7 June 2019, 12:01 AM

I must admit that I prefer the current 41mm QP. I’m really not a fan of the mirror polish on the bezel

T3F · 7 June 2019, 01:52 AM

Honestly...I don't like it. The dial is pretty bland, and the layout isn't as nice as on the regular PC.

tcheeco · 7 June 2019, 02:03 AM

Saw it on IG, very very nice indeed

Agree... one of the best design elements of RO is how verical polished bezel top works with mirror polished sides, and with all mirror polish you lose that magic.

V25V · 7 June 2019, 02:14 AM

Impressive? Absolutely. 42mm however..... its massive for being so thin.

CoveWatch · 7 June 2019, 03:14 AM

It's a good looking watch to me

Wow, beautiful! The first scratch to that bezel is going to HURT ;)

From the case back shot it seems that the movement would have easily allowed for a smaller diameter case. Hopefully we see smaller diameters in other versions down the road... (wishful thinking, I know).

JCC296 · 7 June 2019, 05:38 AM

Big AP fan here, but I have to say Patek 5740 > AP 26586IP in this PC battle.

ragsk · 7 June 2019, 05:46 AM

I like it!

So it’s not a limited edition?

kingofthehill · 7 June 2019, 06:01 AM

What level is the piece priced at, please?

ragsk · 7 June 2019, 06:13 AM

It’s not a limited edition by the looks of it.

The AP website confirms that it’s a 41mm

https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/wa....01/#!/welcome

I think the guys wrist on the IG photos makes it look larger than it is.

Sir Larry Wildman · 7 June 2019, 06:24 AM

I really like the looks of it!

I agree it's impressive they got it so thin. However, if I think my 15202 is thin with a kinda-sorta delicate movement, I'm not sure what I would think of this...

Absolutely stunning finishing.

I wonder if the turned dial would be too thick for it

zly512 · 9 June 2019, 08:08 PM

hmmmm. Interesting. I can see that AP is trying to separate it from the current PC collection by giving it a non tapisserie dial. Not sure if I like it.

ragsk · 10 June 2019, 12:59 AM

I think not having the tapisserie dial adds to the clean look and legibility.

Im glad AP trying to do different things.

msm2 · 10 June 2019, 01:24 AM

Good comparison in this pic:

https://www.instagram.com/p/ByfH_TAARYM/

Personally I like it. Something different yet still familiar.

neogump · 10 June 2019, 01:36 AM

I like left one... do not understand why production version uses satin finish dial. From picture I don't think it makes more legible， maybe pairs mirror bezel polish better.

I actually prefer the 2019. Plus that pic is a poor representation of the dial. Look at the instagram pic by Horoloupe - much nicer in reality.
