Which AP RG?
Hi everybody,
I currently have an RG Schumacher, but considering to trade it in with a Platinum one! And that will make a need for an Rose Gold Audemars Piguet in my collection, which model do you prefer? I really like the ROO 44mm, but not sure if there is anything more special? Looking forward to your advices (advices with photos are greatly appreciated) Thanks! Salih |

I bought a Novelty Platinum and sold shortly after my Novelty Rose Gold, however quickly I realised I missed having a RG in the collection so I bought a GP.
You need at least one RG!! I have a hankering for an RB3 but couldn't find one quickly enough, so went with the GP option. |

If cost is not a consideration, I would stick with Schumi RG, or possibly find an RB2 or RB3 ahead of the Novelty Rose.

Add the platinum in addition to the RG Schumi!
I considered adding the platinum, but already decided on another piece awhile ago... |

44MM rose gold should be awesome if you have a big wrist.

Keep the RG Schumi!
The RG Schumi is the best looking piece in AP so far. I say keep it and go for the Platinum Schumi as well.

May I throw in a curve ball, for those of you with big wrists, I think the Arnold's All Stars Rose Gold 48mm is fantastic! Not many around.

I would very much like to keep the RG Schumi with the Platinum one, but that would be a VERY expensive way. There is like 60k difference between keeping RG Schumi + Platinum Schumi instead of RG ROO 44mm + Platinum Schumi. I don't really think it would worth it. 60k is worth of a very good piece of Patek :)

If I could have one RG piece, I think it might be the RB2...
Here's a shot compared against the Schumi. I think the Schumi has grown on me, but I normally just prefer black or white dials. |

Really no wrong answers here and it's all preference...any of these will be at the top of a desirable AP.

I'm leaning to RB III Rose Gold, and getting a RB II Titanium, so I'll have Platinum Schumi, RG RB III, Titanium RB II. Sounded good to me :) What do you guys think?

I agree. Actually, the photos does not do the Schumi justice. It looks 10 times better in real.

Personally, I'd give you a 2/3. The RG RB III would be my 5th choice among RG APs behind the GP, Schumi, RB and 44mm. I'd go with RGGP or 44mm for your gold; the red in the RB III is a little much for me.
