Haha! This is what we in the IT world call an “Oh sh*t, rollback!!!”

Well, I wish I had saved the salmon dial steel QP, which on the model page was listed variably as a 300 piece or 100 piece LE. I don't think this was a prior release, but always happy to be educated.

You mean this one?


If so, then it’s back on AP’s site, but hurry whilst stocks last…

Too late...gone again...the price is now $20 a pic...

These are the 10 that I recognised, and I'm not even sure about the yellow gold one even being new.

@GS93108 Thank you for your made browser refresh skills so we can enjoy the fruits of your sleuthing and distilled analysis of the changes in the catalog.

@chiscott What do you plan on doing with your openworked then? Dump it in disgust or enjoy it?

[macrowatch]

Also, big picture wise, I think it's been a very strong year of releases for the brand overall. The 43mm ROO refresh, I think is amazing. The ceramic two tone codes, very strong.

I see these mid-year releases more like phantom price hikes. Basically I believe the production on bottle neck is the movements, not the case work. So with all the new QP's for example, they look like mostly precious metal save for the titanium one meaning all new QP's virtually are in gold with higher margins than the steel. Same for the other precious metal RO, continues to re-allocate the movement to higher price and higher margin sales. At the same time, it also gives a nod to the current clientele being attracted (probably as chiscott rightly points out, needing more unique and colored metal pieces to appease the celebs, IG'ers, etc).

Agreed. Lot's of PM models, probably regional releases. I like a lot of them though, the aqua dials especially.

Indeed, I thought that looked quite attractive

Ah, so this is a previously released country/region specific LE? Never seen it before though. They should however take away the keys to the website from the intern.

[honuswagner13]

Are these two watches going to be new releases, or were they previous limited editions?

Prior releases since the green one was supposed to be the last of the F Piguets

Unsure what region those are for since it’s the first I’ve seen of them. Dial color dictates it’s UAE similar to the QP and Tourbillon but I haven’t gotten wind of those chronos

I asked the boutique here - apparently the salmon QP is yet another Yoshida special. No other market gets as much love...

[gregouille]

I'm glad to see that they are still in 41mm !
So I can't be frustrated those are unobtainable.

I wish they will go back to 39mm someday...

How could they not release these 2 to everyone?

[Willyjo]

It has the new movement and some nice improvements from the 26331or. Namely the case back.

Want to see more pics of these.

I can’t find any information on these.

I agree. I like both of these, since the subdials are the same color as the dial.

[Mini2]

I can only see 223 watches

[Kittayos]

The diamond baguette qp is for south east Asia and the rainbow one is for Chinese market. Both are limited to 20 pieces each.

That's because they no longer exist on the site, they were visible and then invisible and then visible again and so on. I'm sure that they'll all be back again permanently soon, but for now the only pictures are the ones that I posted (unless anyone else grabbed any). I don't have prices either. Everything happened too quickly and I'm sure my 'rep' with AP is now in the toilet, as I'm sure these weren't supposed to be properly public yet.

[GS93108]

I'm guessing but I bet the yellow gold perpetual calendar with green dials is a Chinese market exclusive, the clue being the hour '8' indicator when all the others are standard stick markers.
