HK Snob' AP Royal Oak Jumbo 1972

This is an AP Royal Oak First generation, belove that has been manufacturing less than 200 pcs in that years. I think this watch was selling at HKD$9,800. At that time an Unit of Mei Fu Sun Chuen was selling at HKD$50,000.00. HKD$9,800 was a lot of money at that time.

20% of a unit in Mei Fu, you are so rich, so far.

Hi J Chau,
That was my estimation, but my colleague told me his father bought a Mei Fu at HKD$50,000 only on 1970.
That is a lot of money already at that time...
I am not rich as I did not buy Mei Fu Shun Chuen... That is my regret!!

Hi HKS,
Nice watch.
How much do these sell for now (used)?
Also, do you like the new model?
Thanks!

Hi
AP launched a retro with Drop Logo at 6 oclock 2012.

Price for stainless steel is HKD$135,000

They also have a Pink Solid gold one HKD$475,000

My one is 100% 1972, a collection item.
I don't like the new model as the strap design is a folding crasp that is not fit for hands.
