Dear fellows,

I recently fell in love with the 15202

But I have a question about the dial.

1. On AP official pics, we see a space between the A and the P on the logo but on all the pictures of the reviews I read, there is no space (or at least, it is filled)...

Official pic (source: AP):

Review pic (source: timetapestry):

2. On the good review of timtapestry (http://timetapestry.blogspot.fr/2014...-audemars.html), several dials (named Mark X) are mentioned:

So, the question is, if I buy one brand new today, which dial will I have?

Thanks for your answers!

I'm sure there are still BNIB examples of the earlier, lighter dial out there.
The newest version would be the darker dial with smaller tapisserie.
You just need to ask or look at what you are getting.

i have I series, AD direct, had to wait two months for it to come in - has the space on the AP insiginia by the 6 marker - so thats the curernt one they are building I think

Yep there was a slight change.
I know the dial is darker however I really don't think they're as different as shown above.
Different lightings must have played a roll.

Maybe guys that own the previous version can post pics?

The "mark III" I believe. Could be any of them though so take a look before if you have a preference.

H series lighter dial bought about two years ago.

Thank you guys for your answers!

It might seem curious but I am quite concerned by the space on the logo... I think it is much more aesthetic with a clear space as shown on AP images.

Thanks for posting this information, very interesting.

My Mark III with the newer "swiss made" font and the AP logo at 6 is filled in between.

Good to know

Alex4 · 15 June 2015, 06:14 PM

Is there anyone with an "unfilled in between" logo?
