The Final Piece of the Puzzle
This essentially completes my Collection. I won't want to say again this is my last watch because I end up always eating my own words and there is always another new "last watch".
 Anyway, here's my #10 watch. Should be a no-brainer to guess what it is.

Thanks guys. Sorry, been out all day so haven't posted the pics until now.
This is the most iconic of all watches. It's the one watch that revived the fortunates of Audemars Piguet in the 70s almost single-handedly and is responsible for the most successful line in AP's history, ie the Royal Oak and subsequently the Royal Oak Offshore. It's the one watch that started it all and I believed it's a must have in any serious watch collection. The 40th anniversary of the Royal Oak brings with it a refreshed version of this original classic. I present to you, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202ST.  The watch is 39mm, designed to the exact specs of the original with the addition being the see-thru sapphire case-back to allow us to enjoy the beautiful movement. The original box packaging when I bought it at the AD Store :  Here are some more pics :   The caseback with the historic ultra-thin 2121 movement :  A wrist shot and that gorgeous blue dial :  The watch has just the perfect dimensions compared to my 15400 which is slightly on the bulky side, while everything from the dial to the bracelet to the clasp were extremely well balanced. The blue dial is kind of tricky and it takes on many shades depending on the surrounding lighting. The lack of a second-hand takes some getting use to as I sometimes wonder if the run is running. Regardless, this is a collector's item and I am proud to add this to my collection. Many thanks to all the enablers in this forum. You know who you are.
