Wow! Thank you for posting this Roman. Really great to see so many amazing Royal Oaks and Offshores together for comparison. Thanks for the succinct history lesson too. Great video my friend! ✊
found your channel through Producer Michael where you mentioned this video. had to check it out myself! AP is my favorite brand as well and im working toward owning one. you gained a subscriber!
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Jayceon Judson Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I’m so glad you focused on AP today Roman! AP is my favorite brand too and am a proud owner of a 15400 I bought from you. I’d love to see you show one of the AP Royal Oaks with frosted gold (any color) bracelet.
This channel is the bomb! You teach us something new every episode. Other youtubers keep on milking Rolex which is getting really boring or telling us what watches were spotted at a Starbucks somewhere in Miami.
Thank you Roman. Excellent display of watches and it was exciting to see such a large variety of AP horology. It would be awesome to see the watches that are shown in the intro of WOMD that are displayed. I’m sure most have been sold but it would be very cool to know what they are. I love that intro!
I just subscribed a little while ago and plan to watch every single video on your channel. I absolutely love these episodes . Thank you so much for this .
This was a great survey of AP. Your enthusiasm about AP as a brand is contagious. While you respectfully never hit people over the head with “buy from Luxury Bazaar,” this demonstration of the depth of LB’s AP inventory impressed upon me that, if I ever wanted to buy an AP (or other luxury watch brands), LB would be a seller that I would want to contact. I live in Arizona and the closest retail source for AP is in Las Vegas at the Westime AP boutique or Venitzia or over in Los Angeles or La Jolla. Dealing with LB would likely be more competitive and more convenient as I could do business with LB from the comfort of my easy chair.
Great review Roman! I love AP and its my favorite brand as well. I have a Safari circa 2010 on leather hornback strap and recently picked up a ruthenium dial 15400. I think the bracelet on that watch is sublime. Love the highly polished facets and how the light reflects off them.
Jealous is the only word .. I got for you ... wish I had one Audemars...maybe one day 10 years away .. good collection brother.. well deserved for your hard work ...
What up Roman. Always look forward to seeing your weekly new videos. Ap and pp all day! I buy what I like first and far most and so far my small collection have gone up in value. It’s a good feeling to buy something u love and it’s worth somethin more as time passes. With that being said, I recently picked up my first Rolex (Daytona 118506 yellow/green dial) for over msrp a couple months ago assuming it’ll go up more later on. A bit disappointed that the value have gone down on it some. Wanted to kno what future u think that particularly Daytona will have later on (I kno ya don’t have a glass ball or anything 😃). Roman and company, keep up the good work y’all!
Oh yea. I forgot to mention that 2 days after I got the Daytona, my local AD called me and said I’ll b next to get it 🤦🏻♂️. Are they releasing a lot at one time making the value go down on it some in the grey market?
Great video as usual, AP is great and it was awesome how you did the short history on the brand. I think it would be nice where you can do pick a brand and do this maybe once a month. I believe that the more info there is out on a brand, the more popular it becomes. Breguet is in my top 3, maybe you can do that brand next? On a side note, don't really understand all the hype about the Lebron. Any input? Thanks as always.
Love the videos Roman, this was the best yet for me. Ive become a AP fan because of your videos one day would like to own a vintage Royal oak from 1977 a life goal I have set myself.
Great video Roman. You truly are walking the talk with your affection for AP. Most folks do not realize the breadth and depth of what AP can do in the marketplace. Yes, the Royal Oak is their flagship. But within that line they have shown their watchmaking prowess. Rolex focuses on 12 or so watches lines that literally never truly change. Patek is the Calatrava, Nautilus (and Nautilus look a like Aquanaut) company with high end annual and perpetual calendar complications layered on that base. Vacheron is...well know one really knows what Vacheron really is (Overseas? Corn De Vach? Historique?). So, all the hate for AP focusing on a core line is quite misplaced. Look a little deeper at the AP line and they will see all the complication that other high end lines produce. There is a reason why they are part of the big three. Again great video! Amazing inventory and history.
Hello Roman, thanks for making great videos, I’ve been learning a lot from them. When I go to purchase a watch from a person it looks like I know what the hell im talking about, keep up to good work, hope to purchase one from you soon! God bless Bratan,
This is wonderful. I just took delivery of a rosegold 15400. Put it on a RubberB strap to dress it down a bit. When I look at it I seriously just fall in love like I’ve rarely done with any watch. It’s not about the price it’s the aura of the watch.
Thx for the video, I considered AP before, I loved the 1159 line, but they didn't discount enough for me to get one. I really liked the Millenary you showed. As always love that you show watches we wouldn't see ordinarily.
Great Video as usual. Great AP collection. AP is one my favorite brands and just exact your recommended video is the history of Seiko which is another favorite brand of mine for the more affordable watch range. :) Just went to Patek's Grand Exhibition here in Singapore and how I would love it if AP did the same thing here. :)
Hey Roman, Thank you for sharing with us again. I've gone through and now watched all your videos haha. On the topic of History of AP(which also is my favourite brand). I've slowly collected a few AP RO over the years and now have my eye on buying a Yves Klein dial RO. Not enough information online and would like to hear what you say on them OR if there are unique dial variations not very well known to the public! Also which HK trade show will you be in next? Would love to meet and say hi to you! Thanks Yee
Royal oak is a grail for me really want to get a black dial with date hope to get one in the not to distance future love the channel keep up the great work!
AP should do a Roman Sharf edition of the royal Oak, you are probably the best ambassador for the brand. You can choose to wear anything you want and yet you still favours the brand. AP is not my favourite brand but through your infectious passion for them I have come to really appreciate them. Thanks Roman for another great video.
Greetings Roman! An elaborate and thorough history of AP. Educational yet entertaining. Well executed! As an AP fanboy with several timepieces in my collection, I've always had a question around case back serial numbers. I understand the Alpha##### (e.g., K31352) sequence, since the initial Alpha characterizes a "manufactured on" year range. However, a couple of my watches possess an AlphaAlpha####Alpha (e.g., WN3865R) and I struggle to understand 1) why different formats are utilized by AP and 2) how to interpret AlphaAlpha####Alpha serial numbers. Thanking you in advance for your insight & expertise!
Hey Suzuki, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the History of AP Video. Please redirect this question to romansharf@luxurybazaar.com and I'll be glad to get back to you.
Not to mention Jean Claud’e Biever was an oversight to be sure. Although not my favorite brand they have my mad respect for all they’ve done. I think the dials are the most incredible of all.
Hi Roman just got introduced to your channel from ProducerMichael. Cant stop watching the channel. Quick question is the 15500 blue dial really only boutique?
Roman what an stunning video and i was waiting too long and i guess this will be the right time to ask you this: Starting with AP and ending with Hublot, 1.what do you think about Jean Claude Viber ? 2. his influences from the AP royal oak desing to Hublot ? As you know Hublot is being hate nowdays due to a fact that many call them an AP wannabe, and some blame JC Viber for that, i personally own both and love them both in a different ways, of course AP being my favorite brand over any other and my last Royal oak rose gold bought it from you as well, please asnwer these questions- topics on Q&A next tuesday, i really need to know your opinion, thanks in advance🙏
Loved this episode RS like I do all your VLOGS. I think 💭 after collecting for 23 years AP is a brand that I grew into as I matured, I think I have mentioned my story as I always would wear Rolex, Panerai & Hublot while my mates had AP’s, they would call my Hublot the poor mans AP. My first AP was the Panda 🐼 with two different bands (bracelet & F1) but I found it hard to adjust to the size after wearing larger sized watches. But as I matured, and my budget increased I moved into a different price category GP & AP became my favourite brands to this day. My two favourite watches that I have had for sometime now & are always in my rotation are my AP ‘Survivor’ which I would swim 🏊♂️ in the ocean 🌊 everyday with for about 5 years straight & the other is my GP Constant Escapement. All my AP’s in precious metals have been taken my the three women in my life - wife & two daughters, so as a family we are most definitely an AP household.
My fav watch brand indeed is AP. Thanks roman for the knowledge sharing. For me to buy 1 AP will take years of grinding. As of now, im just proud of myself having to buy my 1st automatic watch from seiko which cost 800sgd. Save up and work overtime to get myself that watch. My next gold to achieve is 1pc of AP. Just a simple pc. Well.. i enjoy all your vids and keep up the good work. Lots of love from singapore.
Nice video again Roman. Congratulations on your collection of original APs. This is just my opinion but I love the day-date ROs as well as the tourb Offshores you showed. The new ceramic skeleton perpetual is just stunning as well.
Great video, Roman! Enjoyed this on my favorite watch brand as always! Do you happen to know if there are any 15400 Two Tones with a black / blue dial variant out there? If so, these seem to be rare birds?
Great content. Your knowledge on the brand is impressive. Since your know so much, maybe you can help me out. I'm on the waiting list for the blue 15202 but currently have the chance to buy the blue 15300. I dunno how much longer i have to wait, should i just get the older piece?
Hey Roman, I know dress watches are not the best sellers nowadays but any chance you could do a “What’s on my desk” featuring haute horology dress watches? Thanks.
And now the 11:59...Seems that by offering only Royal Oaks recently, they forgot how to produce decent classic watches. I still like the plain Royal Oak but for complications I will stick to JLC for now
OMG YOUR MAKING ME WANT AN AP SO BAD AN YOU JUST MADE ME WANT ONE EVEN MORE. ONE DAY HOPEFULLY GOD WILLING ILL BE IN THE POSITION TO AFFORD ONE. THANKS ROMAN
Roman would you suggest an AP for someone's first ultra luxury watch? I am in the market for a new watch (new to me but I am obviously open to after market watches) and am considering either a two tone Rolex skydweller or a used AP offshore. My concern is that the AP may be less reliable (more delicate) and more difficult to service down the road. My budget is in the $13-18K range and since this will be my one and only luxury watch for the foreseeable future I would love your opinion on my narrowed down choice of 2 watches. I currently have a Breitling chronomat that I got 20+ years ago when I got my first real paycheck and I have worn it every day since. I realize Breitling is not what it used to be, back then this watch was considered pretty nice and the brand was respected obviously much more than now. Nevertheless, I think it's time for a new watch. Thanks again for your great UA-cam channel and your expert advice and wisdom.
you know I am biased, so i am going to say AP, and dont worry about the serviece end of things AP will measure up just fine to Rolex in terms of durability
Roman Sharf what price should I be expecting to pay? Can you recommend a good option in year/color that’s a particularly good value? I have a good size wrist if that’s an issue, about 8 inches.
Very interesting video Roman, keep it up! On the topic of "first ever watches" as you talked about your A-serial Royal Oak, what are your thoughts on pre-vendome Panerais? The seem super cool and for me they are "THE" Panerai to own, but they also seem kinda pricy as the market price for them is 20k and up. I would love to own a ref. 5218-203/A some day but if market prices keep climbing that will become more and more difficult to achive (but I stay optimistic, and of course if I want it bad enough Ill pay the price). Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject as you are the expert, til then keep up the good work!
15202st is the greatest wristwatch ever made! I don’t want to call it my grail watch as I already own it but if I were to just have one watch that would be the only one I keep!
Roman Bro, I just realized you got your info from WIKIPEDIA. especially the Athletes that wore AP. Good, Atleast you did some homework. Cheers Bro. Love your channel
I have read a lot about these watches for resale not that I'm a big flipper of watches.. but if the watch tanks a lot in price after you buy it isn't that bad, please don't hit me with by what you like if you like it by it ...I understand all that, but I wouldn't go by very expensive car just because it's expensive, I hope you understand what I'm trying too say.. ps love the Vlog 😁😃
Informative and well done video. I get my first AP in a week. Can’t stop watching these videos I’m so excited. After all these years, it’s finally happening.
Roman I love your videos first of all I’ve been following you for years I’ve been wearing Rolex for 40 years and I am looking to purchase ap. For the first time very exciting on the hunt for my 39 mm chronograph Royal Oak wish me luck if you have one please let me know
You changed my mind on AP I never really liked them but the history in this video and your passion for them changed my mind. Thank you
You’ve never had , owned, held or could afford an ap. Gtfo

On a side note, don't really understand all the hype about the Lebron. Any input? Thanks as always.
noted will do I love Breguet, on the lebron its just a great looking watch

My budget is in the $13-18K range and since this will be my one and only luxury watch for the foreseeable future I would love your opinion on my narrowed down choice of 2 watches. I currently have a Breitling chronomat that I got 20+ years ago when I got my first real paycheck and I have worn it every day since. I realize Breitling is not what it used to be, back then this watch was considered pretty nice and the brand was respected obviously much more than now. Nevertheless, I think it's time for a new watch. Thanks again for your great UA-cam channel and your expert advice and wisdom.
you know I am biased, so i am going to say AP, and dont worry about the serviece end of things AP will measure up just fine to Rolex in terms of durability
Roman Sharf what price should I be expecting to pay? Can you recommend a good option in year/color that’s a particularly good value? I have a good size wrist if that’s an issue, about 8 inches.
Good content
Very interesting video Roman, keep it up! On the topic of "first ever watches" as you talked about your A-serial Royal Oak, what are your thoughts on pre-vendome Panerais? The seem super cool and for me they are "THE" Panerai to own, but they also seem kinda pricy as the market price for them is 20k and up. I would love to own a ref. 5218-203/A some day but if market prices keep climbing that will become more and more difficult to achive (but I stay optimistic, and of course if I want it bad enough Ill pay the price). Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject as you are the expert, til then keep up the good work!
you know what I say, buy what you like, personally I like the pre-vendome stuff from them as well, nice rugged military watches whats not to like!
15202st is the greatest wristwatch ever made! I don’t want to call it my grail watch as I already own it but if I were to just have one watch that would be the only one I keep!
Roman Bro, I just realized you got your info from WIKIPEDIA. especially the Athletes that wore AP. Good, Atleast you did some homework. Cheers Bro. Love your channel
I have read a lot about these watches for resale not that I'm a big flipper of watches.. but if the watch tanks a lot in price after you buy it isn't that bad, please don't hit me with by what you like if you like it by it ...I understand all that, but I wouldn't go by very expensive car just because it's expensive, I hope you understand what I'm trying too say.. ps love the Vlog 😁😃
Royal Oak was put on the map, when the Shah of Iran ordered the first white gold version
Did not know that
In Australia Melbourne we can't get AP services. They have to be sent offshore to Singapore. It's a nightmare.
Thank you for this video
Please focus on AP 5072 VZSS classic ❤
Informative and well done video. I get my first AP in a week. Can’t stop watching these videos I’m so excited. After all these years, it’s finally happening.
Thanks Xena and congrats, which AP?
I ALSO LOVE AP. Let me finish watching the video.
:-)
I have to say that AP is close to if not my favourite brand, and the great thing is....I don't know why, I can't put my finger on it.
He knows his stuff.
Some day I hope to make enough money to be able to afford an audemars piguet watch!!!
Roman I love your videos first of all I’ve been following you for years I’ve been wearing Rolex for 40 years and I am looking to purchase ap. For the first time very exciting on the hunt for my 39 mm chronograph Royal Oak wish me luck if you have one please let me know
