A Queen Elizabeth II Cup 2011 Royal Oak LE in white gold for your view pleasure:
They only made 100 of these, and coupled with the hand-stitched anthracite 'gator strap, they really make a nice statement on the wrist.
Regards,
Adam
PS - No, it's not mine; I spied it while at Hodinkee this afternoon.

The one dead center with what looks like multiple complications is sweet. What is that one, AC?

That's the Royal Oak Offshore Triple Calendar (ref.25807ST), which dates from around 2005. It clocks in at 38mm, but like all Royal Oaks, it actually wears a lot larger than its diameter would imply. The movement is from JLC and is finished by AP.
Regards,
Adam
PS - They also made versions with orange, yellow and lime green dials and matching straps.

So.....what were you doing at Hodinkee?
BTW - I like it. That's how you do a LE. Would love to own an AP one day...but that day is a LONG time down the road.

I was acting as a middle-man. I shall say no more.

Not very close.

The date wheel color looks off. Other than that it looks nice. I'd take an AP diver over it any day though.

That's one beautiful Royal Oak.

And you would murder your favorite person on the planet for it. Cause I would.
Fixed.
