Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15202 Only Watch 2021 Breaks Record
Once again this year, the watch industry reveals its best side as more than 50 brands participate in the great Only Watch charity event. Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II and at the initiative of Luc Pettavino, this year is the 9th edition of the biennial charity auction, whose aim is to raise funds for research against Duchenne muscular dystrophy. A recurring participant of the event, Audemars Piguet presented a unique take on the Royal Oak 15202 Jumbo… but besides being special in materials, it’s also the last unique 15202 powered by the Calibre 2121, which will retire at the end of the year. And the room of the auction noted this… as it reached an incredible CHF 3,100,000, by far the highest price ever reached for a Royal Oak Extra-Thin Jumbo. And because it’s for a charity, we’re not going to complain.What's unique about this watch? The 39mm x 8.1mm case is identical to all other 15202 models, at least in shape. The materials and the

Airain Type 20 Re-Edition Brown Limited Edition - Hands-On, Price
If you’ve been reading MONOCHROME for some time now, you might be aware of something about me; I have a long-lasting love affair with the Type XX and Type 20 watches. It is something I’ve shared over the years on many occasions since the Breguet Type XX is the watch that really started my journey as a collector. So when we received the news, about a year ago, that Airain – one of the original providers of Type 20 watches to the French army – was about to resurface, you can imagine that I was pretty excited. And when we saw the first images of the watch that was about to be launched, the excitement became even stronger. But today, we have a prototype of the Airain Type 20 Re-Edition with us, a brown dial limited edition version, to be precise. And it’s time for a good old hands-on session.?The Type 20 watches and AirainIt is no secret that pilots have been some of the most demanding users of watches in history.
