    37mm is the perfect size indeed for a medium wrist. The price however has become excessive imo for such a watch with no screw down crown, only 50m wr and the removal of the beautiful rotor with the coats of arms of the Audemars and Piguet families (featured on the previous version 15450). But the RO remains a great icon of course: congratulations and wear it in the best of health! And thanks for sharing your purchase experience.

      @ I see what you mean, but not for me: no caliber to admire, except on very expensive Daytonas or on 1908. And everything is machine made, whereas the RO has very high-end finishing on both case and bracelet. For me, the true rival of the RO would rather be something like Chopard’s Alpine Eagle, which is more than 10k less expensive but is still very highly finished, with 100m WR and a screw down crown.

  • @nka4180

    Size is good on your wrist.
    Thats the beauty of Royal Oak, a watch where the different sizes of 37, 38, 39 and 41 fits most wrist sizes , but dresses very differently.
    Its hard to judge from a video clip, but the 41mm with black dial looks ok on your wrist, but a bit on the large side. The 37mm serms to match your wrist and hand much better.
    The dial colour is awesome. Well done and congrats. 🎉

    Congrats!! Im such a Royal Oak fanboy so I really love to see this one!! ICEY!! The thing about the Royal Oak is its SOOO much better brand new fresh and crisp like this, the finish in person is just other worldly - The Royal Oak is an experience in and of itself in watch collecting - and Im not totally biased saying that lol Im a major Rolex fanboy too lol.. Im still enjoying my 26240or! Can’t wait to get out there to Dubai for a visit someday still!

    I'm in a tiny minority that doesn't care much for the Royal Oak, something about the screws in the bezel turns me off.
    I much prefer the cleaner looking GP Laureato, however I FREAKIN LOVE that 11.59! Yeah, I guess I'm an odd ball!

    Seeing how good the 37mm size is on a medium wrist, it reminds me how crazy it is the Vacheron still hasn't done the 222 in steel, they could sell so many. The swiss watch luxury business is so weird.

    I think that the textured dial on the Code 11.59 was a mistake. But everyone has their opinion! I have a blue fumé smooth dial, and it is simply wonderful.
    However, your ice-blue 37mm is really great - well done! I also have my grail - a blue 15500. I wouldn't swap it for anything. You need a big wrist, but I have one.
