This is AP's new Concept Watch and is not a limited edition piece. However, it is limited production and around 30 pieces will be made this year. The new Concept watch is part of the Royal Oak collection.
Case: forged carbon with black ceramic bezel, crown and pushers
Bracelet: large scale croc strap with titanium AP deployant
Expected delivery is 2nd half of 2008, and due to its limited availability, priority will be given to AP boutiques and key retailers.
Specs on watch:
- Calibre 2895 manual winding, tourbillon, chronograph w/ linear minute counter, power reserve, and selection indicators
- Double barrel allowing 10 days of power reserve, carbon main plate and aluminum bridges
- 44mm forged carbon case, water-resistant to 100m with screw-locked crown
- Ceramic bezel, crown and pushers, sapphire caseback
- Luminescent gold hands with facets
- special presentation box with carbon finishing
- center bridge in green eloxed aluminum
Ball park price is CHF280k and USD$225,800 (please note these are just estimate pricing)
See the centre bridge? It's green oxidixed aluminum! Pretty cool ain't it
Watch is pretty cool but I just wanted to make sure that the 44mm size is deceiving because the strap lugs stick way out and the strap really doesn't, so u'll need at least an 8" wrist, if not larger, to be able to pull off this Concept watch.
