Interview: We Ask Audemars Piguet Historian Michael Friedman To Walk Us Through The Best Vintage AP's For Sale In Geneva
If there is one sub-sect of vintage watches that I believe is about to experience a renaissance of sorts, it's vintage Audemars Piguet. For years, I have admired the subtle elegance and incredible design found in early 20th century AP's. I believe them to be some of the most beautiful watches ever made, and based on our visit inside the vault of AP last summer, you guys agreed.There is simply so much to love in this category, and yet we simply don't hear much about it. Sure, there are way, way fewer vintage AP watches out there than any Patek, as we've mentioned, and that just makes them that much more appealing. This season, there are several fantastic vintage AP's coming up for sale, and because this manufacture is one of the few who has a publicly available historical expert, we thought it would be great to get brand historian Michael Friedman's own take on the vintage AP's coming up this weekend and next week in Geneva. That is what you'll find below

AP ROO 42mm VS AP ROO 44mm....
Hi, I own as most of you guys know by now the AP ROO Diver which I love, BUT since my local AD here in Stockholm never seem to have a 44mm AP ROO in stock I have never actually tried one on, how much larger do they wear compared to the Diver or any other 42mm ROO?

Omega GMT
Does anyone know the last year the GMT black model was produced? Is the anniversary edition the last year? Where can I pick up a new one from and how much will I have to pay? The Ebay prices on the used ones are all over the map.

Patek Strap options
Tried on a few PPs recently and can't make up my mind on the straps. The Calatravas have a very thin almost unpadded strap that doesn't feel sturdy ... The 5146 and 5205 straps felt a lot more durable and had a bit of padding. Any advice on after market straps for a Calatrava should I get one or what strap should I be looking for from the AD if I can get one there? Sorry for all the PP posts recently. Still trying to find the right one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
