Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450 Unboxing
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 11. 2016
- The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak is a horological icon. Introduced in 1972, the Royal Oak was the very first ultra-luxury steel sports watch. It was a significant departure from the classic, conservative gold wristwatches AP was known for until that time. As legend holds, the Royal Oak was designed overnight by Gerald Genta. Its design has since gone down as truly revolutionary, transforming the staid, conservative watchmaking world on its head.
I just love the look of this watch. The angular design and the bracelet really do it for me.
Great review of the 37mm version! Good package of information in in connection with very detailed closeup shots of the watch itself in a natural lighting situation. Thanks!
Beyond-gorgeous watch.
Looks perfect on your wrist.
Nicely done review.
Beautiful watch - congratulations. The blue dial is so overpriced now that I’ve also considered the white- which is less desirable but still absolutely stunning. Great summer watch. Enjoy it brother- it’s stunning.
My dream watch. I’m obsessed with wanting one
Haha me too I’m saving for a RO but the 37mm although looks nice it just too small at least for me the 41mm 15500 is the one I’ll probably get in a few months from the moment I’m writing you buddy but like you said I’m also obsessed with getting an AP btw I’m from Geneva take care mate
Watching in 2024 and envy the times of grey market being cheaper than retail. RIP
Great video. Please show us the rest of your collection.
Nice review, thanks. This watch is next on my list. Not sure what colour face though, white, blue or black.
Amazing watch!! Enjoy :)
Most beautiful watch ever made. Blows Rolex out of the water. I’ll take this over a Patek as well
if you have a 8 inch wrist or above the bracelet will not close, only has 20 links (2019 boutique blue dial model)
Very informative video, well done my good sir
Beautiful watch. Almost pulled the trigger but the 16mm clasp was a bit too dainty for me. Quite happy with 39mm on 6.5 wrist
I have the exact model and just love it
i just ordered the chronograph blue face... I will say, for a white face, I think this would the IT one...
It was designed as an old diving suit helmet. The nautilus was designed like a ship port hole
Amazing watch!!! Love it!!!
I hope to buy this watch this year or next.
Stunner
Stunning watch!
I can't wait until they come out with their new movement n 2-3 years for the RO and offshore. Then I will get one.
I’ve got a sub and Daytona this with white face will be my next watch, it took a lot of effort and research but I’m beginning to fall for AP
Did you acquire it yet
@@DVSPDC arriving tomorrow
Good call Will Kelly
What colour dial will you be going for
AP is the best for me..
Hi, great review. I have the same watch and wrist size. Curious on whether you tried the Jumbo 15202. Because of a flat 6.5 inch wrist, I cannot look at the offshore models. So, now eyeing the Jumbo to add to my 15450. Worried on how it will fit on my wrist. There is no way to try a Jumbo other than a AP boutique it seems.
Thanks a lot. I haven't tried on a Jumbo, but I have tried on a dual time, which is also 39 mm. It's definitely okay on a 7" wrist, although the end links basically extend to the extreme boundaries of my wrist. I'd worry the end links could overextend on a smaller wrist but who knows. I suggest you try on a dual time or other 39 mm royal oak to get an idea.
Beautifull watch. And you're right to show us the set box. This is an important part of the pleasure. Have you ever seen a 2000$/€/£ Seiko Marine Master set box? That's just... pitiful.
great video, nicely done sir! 👏👏
Nice review and congrats for a great watch! What are your experiences in terms of scratching? E.g. the polished and brushed parts? How would you compare the ease of scratching vs. Rolex (if you have had any)?
That's a good question. I should do a follow up video regarding that. To answer briefly, it's definitely easier to scratch than a brushed oyster bracelet. You need to be really mindful of the bezel especially, but all surfaces of the watch are fragile. I don't wear my AP as a "beater" like one might wear a Sub. It's also important to bear in mind you can't just polish an AP. If you want it done right, you need to have APs refinished at an AP service center. There are some great videos from AP on the extent to which they finish their bracelets/cases which help this make a lot more sense. I will say, however, Rolex polished bracelets and cases are super easy to scratch, perhaps even more so than the AP.
Hey! I got the black yesterday. Do you think there will be scratches from a simple longsleeve shirt?
I have a 6.8 inch wrist. I wander if the 15300 would be a better choice...
hey! I'm wondering if this is silver dial that's still in production or was this the white dial that was discontinued?
Very nice with silver dial! But I believe that the 15300st is the best.
Thank you. I agree that the 15300 being sized at 39 mm like the original ultra thin is appealing and true to its roots, but it was too big for my wrist. The white/silver dial on the 15450 is much more silver than the white 15300 dial, which I prefer. I also prefer the double hashed 12 hour marker on the 15450 to the in your face AP logo on the 15300. Both great watches...
I agree. But I think 15400 & 15450 must be wider at the middle of case in comparison with 39mm models. Recently I worn both 15400 & 15450 at ap boutique. 15400 it was little large. 15450 cannot close the clasp!! in my wrist... and consider that my every day watch is a first gen Overseas 37mm.My opinion is,you must see Also the 15202st.Must be perfect to your wrist.
Whats the retail of the 37mm?
37 mm or 41
May I ask you what your wrist size is?
This is on my wish list but I'm wondering if it's too big on me since you said it actually looks larger than 37 mm (I'm a woman, rolex Yacht Master 37 looks perfect on me tho...).
I don't think it would be too big for you. You can remove a ton of links from the bracelet and basically size it to any wrist. If a YM37 fits you well, this will too IMO (but definitely try it on).
Tina Fung you should get it.. I got a small wrist and this fits perfectly on my wrist
How does the Royal Oak wear compared to the Daytona? Which one do you prefer aesthetically?
In terms of case and dial size, I'd say they're very similar. I find the Oyster bracelet is more comfortable than the AP one. Sometimes the AP bracelet can catch hairs. The Daytona is far more rugged, yet lacks a date, which some people can't live without. AP is a more limited production watch and will cost much more to service, while the Daytona is a more mass produced watch that will still cost a fair amount to service. Aesthetically, I prefer the Daytona, but the Royal Oak is still amazing.
Awesome! Lastly, do you think it's worth paying a premium for the Daytona? At present, unless you're getting from a boutique, the price goes around $18,000 which is similar to the Royal Oak and other higher end luxury pieces.
Nice vid
How much do the 15450 generally cost new or pre owned? Thank you
A good place to check current prices is Chrono24. You can do a quick search there for the current price of any swiss watch
@@TimetoWatch247 What are your thoughts on the white vs the grey dial?
How do you set the time on the Royal Oak AP?
Sinjun Khan like any other watch on earth
Which is better to buy in Black White or Blue ?
Matter of preference. I’d take blue anyway of the week. Blue is supposedly boutique only and commands a premium over the other colors in the grey market, which means better investment.
Blue
For that Price i want it made from the Steel of the Ship..lol
37 wear el 38.5 max...
late to this video...where can you get them new on the grey market for 14K?
Edward Black you cant anymore. I made this video a while back now, before the watch market went nuts.
15400 is 40mm? How about 41mm
The 15202 is not the outlier...its the most desirable of them all
You're misinterpreting what I said. It is an outlier in the sense that it is quirky - it does not have a quickset date feature, it requires a special tool for winding the crown, lacks a seconds hand, and is a more delicate watch. The 15450/15400 on the other hand offer a quickset date and offer much better everyday, no fuss wearability.
I will buy this off you for a fair price of $50
I only accept Dogecoin
@@TimetoWatch247 But real talk… are you selling?
Looks nice on your wrist. What is your wrist size? Seems odd that the 15450 is slightly thicker than the 15300 and 15400.
Thanks. Wrist is 7". Can't comment on the thickness vs a 15300 as I haven't seen them side by side
My wrist is 6.5. The discontinued 39mm 15300 fits a little big on me, so I think the 15450 will be a perfect fit.
FYI, 15300 9.4mm vs. 15300 and 15450 9.8mm case thickness.
how is ur wrist size man?
oh,thank u,mine is the same,i'm considering between this one and 15202,AP royal oak line is quite big to me,it said that 37mm but it just measurement on the bezel,not including the case yet,distance from lugs to lugs of this one must be around 43-44mm and more,i think im going down 15450
How much is it?
Rosi Ku 14k
How much this one pls
$16.5k USD list price...problem is AP now almost exclusively sells through boutiques, so finding one at retail may be challenging
well this watch is now worth 35k pre owned...
What a crazy world we live in...
"The 15202 is a quirky outlier" OMG! You know nothing Jon Snow.
Obviously the ultra thin is the original royal oak and by far the most expensive and coveted. What I meant by quirky is that it’s not very conducive to daily wear. It doesn’t have quick set date, the crown is tiny and has a special winding tool - PITA, and it’s more fragile than the 15450/15400/15500.
'it didnt make sense to people' - they were smarter lol
Uhmm... "8 hexagonal screws" okayyyyy🤔🤔🤔
Dumbass
dont get it twisted... breitling and omega arent even in the same zip code to an AP... and that watch is too small for ur wrist... thats a girls watch
Not what I was trying to say. Was referring to iconic models, of which the Navitimer and Cartier Tank both are, just not of the same caliber as AP. Thx for your opinion on the watch. I wear watches that fit my wrist, the 15400 is substantially larger than the 15450 and if you have anything under a 7.5" wrist it just looks absurd.
tyga z 40+ watches just look like children’s watches..
I suppose that, if you spend that much money on a watch, last thing you wanna do is turn your expensive watch into a toy-looking watch and that’s what happens when those men wear oversized, bulky pieces.
Gentlemen wear watches that fits properly they’re not trying to look like Ben Tennyson lol
@ time to watch
You sound like a true gentleman and thank you for sharing your experience. The Royal Oak fits you perfectly and it’s a brilliant size. It’s may be a 37mm but is very much like a 39mm which is a perfect size for most people
too poor to afford a patek nautilus. This looks like a good substitute :)
The Royal Oak was the original Genta the nautilus was originally designed as a women,s watch
Make sure you can afford forking out for the service costs every 3-6 years. Archieluxury was quoted nearly $4k lol
It’s pronounced otta-mars pee-a-jay
Marcel Gossett no it isn’t
