Audemars Piguet’s iconic sports watch with the octagonal bezel, the Royal Oak, turns 40 this year, and the Swiss watch firm plans to celebrate the milestone in style, kicking off a touring exhibit of 100 rare Audemars Piguet watches, set against an artistic multimedia presentation showcasing the brand and its history, with an opening engagement this week at New York’s Park Avenue Armory. Click “Read more” for photos from the exhibit.In 1972, with the quartz revolution gaining momentum, Audemars Piguet caused a stir in the watch world when it introduced to the market a luxury sports watch with an ultra-thin mechanical movement and an unconventional, octagonal steel case, at a price point that at the time was unthinkable for any watch not made of a precious metal. Despite the naysayers at the time, the Royal Oak was not only successful, it influenced the look of many other sports watches that followed it and has become the mainstay of the Audemars Piguet collectio

Justin Rose Is New Hublot Watches Ambassador As Brand Enters World Of Golf

Just in: Lord Elgin Westwood
Ended up with a really nice example of the Westwood. 10K gold, with the knurled bezel. As you probably already noticed, there is no second hand. That is by design (Ulackfocus would like that). The case is 2214Y. Even the crown looks original. It came on a gold capped Speidel with curved ends. It actually has a knurled finish as well.Just have to get a crystal. I had a high dome crystal about the right size, but it would just pop out once inserted. Assuming it needs a low dome, as that is what is on it right now.I've been looking for one of these for awhile, so I am very happy I finally landed one. ]

Anyone brushed a SS SkyDweller?
Would love to see if anyone has had their SS Skydweller brushed. Thinking of doing it if/when I get one from my AD. Love the functionality of the piece, but not so hot on PCLs.

Curious about sales numbers for each model
Hi folks,This is the first thread I've ever started, so please be gentle.In reading all the different threads and comments about limited availability for various steel professional models, I became curious about what the total sales figures might be on a model by model basis.I'm not referring to a dollar value amount, but a total number of units per year.I'm sure that this information isn't readily available from Rolex, but maybe some of you know or are affiliated with an AD or a trusted seller here that would have these numbers.Being located in Toronto these days, of particular interest to me would be to know what numbers of each model were sold last year in a typical large city in the US or Canada, or even out of a typically-sized AD...Thanks and I hope this proves to be of interest to folks on here.
