Yes the production is limited, it is an exclusive boutique piece. It costs $25,800 USD.

Best Regards

Is there going to be a limited number made and what price will it be

This watch was made available last week. It is a US boutique exclusive piece, which means you can get it at the New York or Bal Harbour boutiques.

When is the release date?

It is $25,800 for the yellow/black forged carbon (pictured above).

STILL WAITING FOR THE PRICE. IS IT OUT IN THE MARKET?

@John and @Vincent- The price has not been announced yet, but I will have the price next week.

thanks

How much is it?

Wow, this AP is awesome!! Love the black/yellow color scheme. What kind of price would this be available for?
