Some kind of chiming function?

At least I'm not the only one to mention this bolded black... every time I speak about I got rude comments about it... and the fact is that missing 53 week kills all the story about perpetuality...

I think the ones marked red will be done... we already know that it will be 38 and 41mm so no 39... probably the 38 will be dub 10... not sure about 70 and 50+...

If you want ruin the uniqueness of the AP QP...take away the week indicator and make it a 39mm while still offering the cooler and quirkier 41mm with the current week indicator.

As for me I would like to see a small seconds or a normal seconds hand on my QP.

I get it that it is for tracking longer time periods but I still love movement on my watches. Moser had a small seconds on their QP back in 2005.

I would welcome a seconds hand too.

We'll find out soon, but what have you heard?

It’s 6AM. Nothing yet.

People here pretend to know far more than they really do. 6am CET is literally the worst time possible to introduce something as majority of the western world is asleep.

Oops, mixed et and cet. 6:00 et, 12:00 cet That’s why I need AP to release a new dual time

I am not saying the 150th new releases will be disappointing...merely saying the 150th treatment is disappointing.

You need to have purchased some big pieces to be eligible for pieces with 150th markings.

What do you mean by treatment

Someone wrote earlier on this or other thread that 150th production will be much smaller (around 5%) of total production, compared to 2022 for the 50th anniversary of the RO, when pretty much every new RO was an anniversary model.

Ballpark that is probably a factor of 10x less taking into account how significant 2022 was for the RO family.

Pretty interesting about big pieces but not spending history.
I guess they would mean Tourbillon, QP, Minute Repeater, Concept or Diamond pieces. It means there are few collectors by rules eligible to get 150th based on all customers they have.

Don't they "encourage" you to buy the bigger pieces eventually? It's not like you are allowed to buy every color of the same reference.

New models!

well, here you go:

The new QPs are very cool. Any idea about pricing?

[SRG89]

Slightly underwhelming, they did say first semester of releases so hopefully more interesting stuff later in the year. The 11.59 perp is a miss for me. Aventurine dials were so much better

[watchman124]

Underwhelming - all with the exception of the Openworked QP which will be unobtanium. The gray steel code with the blue contrast is kinda cool too.

Quite a spectacle for just this. Was hoping for more.

The ST and code QPs are $109 on the website.

[AEV]

Website is updated.
No price increase.
Steel QPs are 110K, SG 130K.
There a couple of insane Grande Sonnerie Codes as well.

Don't worry, AP will begin releasing new watches every week like they did in 2024.. more to come haha. Also.. all the titanium QP will go under retail later on just like the previous one, so don't FOMO into that one.

[lucasalce]

So they are not show the crazy stuff on social media

Agreed, the Aventurine QPs are way better than the new version

[HMHM]

Although AP is indeed the Royal Oak Watch Company, the new QP movement is seriously impressive! Would say it is akin to the Lange Datograph movement kind of groundbreaking. Patek needs to step up their R&D and make a movement that is as good if not better than this, rather than making square shaped Nautilus….

[Lkdub24]

Is this a new code chrono?

Didn’t know there was a blue ceramic code with tuscany dial and baguettes

[Armis]

That’s a lot of blue. Some degree of contrast, perhaps in the sub dials, would have been nice.

Wow that‘s quite pretty.

During these days of so many announcements I’m always puzzled by how hard it is to quickly find all the new stuff on the AP website.

[GW44]

That Sand Gold QP 26674SG is epic.
