VIP Status

[edo]

It's like scientology but with watches. Shame they get rid of the turtlebeck prophet.

Only gift I got was that stupid backgammon set lol. No way I would ever get offered any of the cool stuff. I don’t have any idea what my next watch will be but not one of the omg ones.
I’ve been around some of the guys who are VIP and they don’t even know there’s such a thing or care. They’re just rich!

Sir you must be like me and are married with trauma lol. You got a 16202 and I think that’s an amazing offer and pick up. Would love to know what pieces you picked up before that

They are described differently by AP, "friend of the brand", "friend of the family" as examples.

I'm not sure about now but before pandemic there were few criteria depending on the piece that your purchasing. If my spending history was below 100k USD I will be invited to their event in my region which one of the event that was paid for that I attended the launching of Royal Oak Concept Supersonnerie in Singapore and F1. That year if you purchase any piece 70k above they will invite you for a paid for golf trip in Dubai and to get invitation to AP factory min requirement is to purchase a Toub. For all RO steel you need to get Boutique Manager to approve and for 15202 Regional Manager to approve.

That's a very diverse collection. Looks like a RO QP or maybe even an OW is in order next.

Agreed. I think that a QP in any metal or case is an important milestone. Not just for the AP allocation, but a QP is just a different level altogether.

Ya it seems like a perp would make sense but my dad and I got perpetual Patek’s this year so I’d really want something else maybe ceramic? Maybe tourb? Some of those high end codes are really attractive to me also.. We’re both collecting new aquanauts next week, dads getting the green 5168 and I’m getting the orange 5968 and have always wanted that one!

Or, in your case Roger, friend and key advisor of the owners

Awesome pieces. Nothing compares to a PCC in Patek! I know that PC's have been a key entry point these days for elevated Aquanauts and Nautilus' - so it's not a surprise it's the same for AP.

I think for QP share an interest and wait for 2025 - when we all expect an upgrade of the 5134 movement.
