Pump pushers, knurled crown, downturned lugs that hug the wrist nicely. The dial is the real winner though - clean white background, rose gold applied indices, three sub-registers across 6, 9 and 12, and a magnified date aperture at 3 framed in gold. Blued chrono hands tie it all together and add the perfect pop without throwing off the dressier feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMovement-wise it’s the AP Cal. 2126 - 51 jewels, 21k gold rotor, automatic - and the same calibre family AP ended up using in the very first Royal Oak Offshore a few years later.
