The combination of sandblast, satin and polished finishes gives the titanium case a unique look, and the "COMPANION" word blends in with it in exquisite colors, creating a striking presence. The crown is made of black ceramic, giving the watch a sleek design.

The strap is also available in dark grey and slate grey calfskin, and the interchangeable system makes it easy to change. This also makes the entire watch stand out by subtly changing the color tone.

summary

What did you think?

Audemars Piguet's new models are always surprising, but this time it is a collaboration with the world-famous artist KAWS, which is creating a buzz in the watch industry. When a hot topic model like this collaboration is released, it attracts attention not only from watch lovers but also from many other people, so it makes me very happy as someone in the industry.

If you are able to get your hands on this model, which is likely to be available only to a very small number of people, please come and show it off to our store! We'd love to see it! (lol)

Once again, I hope that by reading this column, even one more person will become interested in luxury watches!

See you later!
