For New Yorkers, Montauk Highway represents the impersonal way out of the asphalt and the rigors of daily routine, a ticket to an oasis where water moves sluggishly on the docks and boats dot the horizon. In this atmosphere, time stretches and contracts to house mile.

A road may seem an unlikely source of inspiration for a luxury sports watch, but when it is as famous as the Montauk ... a picturesque strip of asphalt 100 miles starting in New York, traces a path through eastern Long Island and empties into the sun, surf and style of the Hamptons, it's much easier to do. At least that seems to be the thought of Audemars Piguet, to launch this year.

Audemars Piguet in June 2009 launched a limited edition of 300 numbered units. Royal Oak Offshore "Montauk Highway at a retail price of 20,500 Dollars

This special edition model has style and good taste to the collector. The bright blue and bright emerald on the tachymeter scale and Arabic numerals for the hours is amazing, without being shrill, and the rich tones of chocolate in the sub-areas of the lap counters, create a nice contrast against the pure white dial and revel in the details.

Then, of course, not surprising that the brown alligator strap with stitching Hornback emerald blue, almost as luxurious as the polished steel case, warm glow and superbly finished.

This beautiful belt works wonders on more than one variant of this model, including the navy or Safari, and it is less effective in editing the Montauk Highway. Adheres to the wrist through the clasp famous "AP" that cleverly doubles flagship brand.

This line, which now accounts for half of sales of Audemars Piguet, under the inspiration of the octagonal hatch British war ships, eight screws interns exhibits 18 carat gold, and stainless steel and gold. Its success has been completed with new creations like the Royal Oak Dual Time Royal Oak or Offsshore. The latter is a perfect mechanical work, whose extraordinary case has been made ​​after more than two years of research and testing.

The story of the mythical creation of Audemars Piguet emerged back in the 70's, comes in a context of liberation, from the feminist struggle until the conquest of space and the feats of biological research.

In this scenario prevailing in the ephemeral, Audemars Piguet drag all the trends, launching a new challenge that asserts its technological and stylistic: the creation of a truly original clock.

A good guy, indeed.  I pointed out an overcharge on my CC, and, bingo, I received an e-mail saying it will be corrected.  I've ordered two APs from him and they're beautiful.  I am sure the incoming PAM 372 will also be of high quality.
