I had the pleasure to also meet Mr. Martin Wehrli a few years ago, he seemed to be a very kind and sincere gentleman. He toured our group through the museum with great pride and unlimited knowledge of AP. I really like the fact that Mr. Genta still sports...
What a stupendous piece!

It looks much beefier indeed than the Survivor. This is a superior piece by all standards. Thanks for posting these pics!!!

It must have been amazing to speak with Gerald Genta about this watch, and get his thoughts on how his designs have evolved. I love that Mr. Genta is wearing a Royal Oak. It's a wonderful design. For my taste, it is preferable to many of its modern brethr...
Thanks Daos. I agree it was an interesting experience.

The watch that Mr. Genta had one was very beautiful and timeless. It is a good example where "less is more"... I think also they certainly share the same root, it wouldn't be always "fair" to compare the modern offshores (especially the limited editions) ...
Such a great honor to meet them both...

Thanks for the continuing coverage z3. It must have been a great surprise to meet both Mr. Wehrli and Mr. Genta in a private environment to see the new ROO tourbillon chrono. Great pics, thanks for sharing. Regards, ED-209
Both gentlemen were certainly amused and fascinated...

By the ROO novelties in recent years. Honestly, not sure if they liked them... Maybe the brand is getting too carried away "Offshore" from the traditional fine-watch making that AP is well-known for. Jon
oh well

I feel Mr. Gentas face reveals how he thinks the Royal Oak has developed. I may be the only one out here, but I think the Grand Prix is hideous, along with so many of the ROO LEs that have been generated recently. Feel free to flame away, but that is my h...
Great post!
