Blue grey for the missus

So I was all the way down the funnel and ready to purchase a 15450 blue dial. Thought 37mm would work for my 6-inch wrists but alas lug-to-lug it looks HUGE on my wrist.

Saw blackdot's photos though with his similar sized wrists and convinced me that 77350 is the way to go. Thanks man.

Blue dial with diamonds or switching to white dial?

Met with an AD and was able to see two of the new 34mm in-person at the boutique. He mentioned that the movement in this watch is not in-house. I didn’t catch who he said makes the movement, but looking at it through the case back, it does not seem to be as well finished as typical AP movements. Would be interesting to find out more about the movement

AP has used display case backs on various non-inhouse movements over the years (the most famous one being the 15202 Jumbo). The main reason is where AP has exclusivity over the movement or has exclusive customisations done to it. In this case, it's a Vaucher base cal. 3002 with customisations that are exclusive to AP, e.g. different bridges, rotor and Geneva stripes.

I saw this watch in person for the first time last week. The movement is a little underwhelming compared to the totally in-house calibers but I think it allowed AP to be quick to market with a smaller RO that is an automatic (SA told me it would take too long to develop something totally in-house), which is a bit of an underserved market for them. Since the discontinuation of the 14790, I think there has been some unmet demand for a smaller automatic RO.

May I know her wrist size? Also does anybody know whether the 34mm measurement includes the bezel? Any idea how big the 77350 measures including the bezel?

I am deciding whether to get a 15450 or 77350, my wrist sits at 6 in if not slightly under that.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Curious for the people that have bought the 77350, are the prices negotiable with the dealers given that it's a women's watch or is it similar to the men's RO where you would be lucky enough to even get one these days with all the hype?
