This is a current model with a refreshing impression of the blue dial with a tapestry pattern and the white sub-dials, and an attractive design with a dignified look. Originally, there was a "Ref. 26320ST" with the same size and movement, but it was slightly changed in 2017 and released with a panda dial. The movement is the "Cal. 2385", which has been used in various models as the core chronograph of [Audemars Piguet] for many years .

The style of wearing it casually, like that of Takanori Iwata, a member of the same group who appears on his Instagram account "Iwa-chan," tickles the masculine heart. High-end models look great on him.

"Ref.15400ST.OO.1220ST.01"

This is a model released in 2012, with the word "AUTOMATIC" written at the 6 o'clock position on the dial, and a black dial with a Grand Tapisserie pattern that gives an elegant impression. The case diameter has been increased from 39mm, which has been the case since the first generation, to 41mm, but the thickness is ultra-thin at less than 10mm. This gives it a very dressy impression. The movement is the famous "Cal.3120" that was released in 2003, which achieves a long power reserve of 60 hours. Even after more than 10 years, it still has an unfading charm.

This authentic piece is a highly versatile model that can be worn with anything from the jacket styles that Miura wears to street styles.

This watch features a white dial with a Grand Tapisserie pattern, a three-counter chronograph and black hands, creating a simple yet elegant design. Compared to the sporty Royal Oak Offshore, this watch is smaller and thinner, and is full of elegance, making it the ultimate all-purpose model that can be used in formal situations as well.

The 39mm size fits comfortably under the sleeves of a suit or shirt, making it the perfect watch for Tanihara, who wears suits with style.
