So after all this, I've figured it out. I want the best of the Patek and the AP: A simple, yellow-gold AP QP. A later generation with those hidden pushers so the case is perfectly suave and circular, and perhaps a sapphire caseback so I can look at the movement when I want to – none of this skeletonized link stuff that constantly demands my attention. I'm thinking a reference 25657 or 25661 will do just fine. Now, onto making it happen while link I'm still young enough to read those link subdials.

The nicely-sized Noble is available now for a pre-order price of $1,600 link with delivery expected in November of this year. Retail price (after the pre-order) will link be $1,760. Monta notes that while the Noble is not a limited edition model, due to production schedules, they will not link be able to produce more than 200 examples over the next 12 months.
