Author: WatchBox March 29, 2019 Duration: 32:00
What's going on with Audemars Piguet? After a controversial showing at SIHH 2019 with the Code 11.59, the brand behind the Royal Oak has seen a down-tick on the pre-owned market as of late. Watch Traders Jason Mane and Josh Thanos are here to explain why. For "This or That" this week, Josh is sticking up for AP with the Royal Oak Offshore Diver Black Mega Tapisserie Dial (Ref. 15703ST.OO.A002CA.01) and Jason is pitting it up against the Rolex Submariner "Hulk" (Ref. 116610LV).
