A Cartier First: the Tortue Perpetual Calendar
At first glance, the word “legible” may not spring to mind, but take a closer look. The new Tortue Perpetual Calendar achieves a design coup: several elements, including an openwork dial, combine to create a rich, complex mechanical tapestry, yet each of the indications is easily read. As the first automatic perpetual calendar from Cartier, this watch melds the brand’s long-established design flair with its more recent strength in movement manufacturing. The 45.6 x 51 mm case is available in white or pink gold.

Which first AP to get and what to trade?
Hi everyone, I'm comsidering my first AP and was wondering what's the difference in these two David SW has for sale? Also, what do you recommend I trade towards it from my small collection? I'm definitely keeping my gold GMT, but not sure what else I should hold on to. How do APs wear? Does anyone have this particular model I'm interested in? I have a 7 inch wrist. Apologize for all the questions, but I want to be informed as much as possible before pulling the trigger. Watches are listed in my signature. Thanks, davidsw/product/audemars-...ak-offshore-6/davidsw/product/audemars-...re-panda-dial/
