APH Madrid

I’m always a bit 50/50 whether it’s worth it and whether they would be happy for a random visitor, but I’ll be in Madrid in a few weeks and just wonder if it’s worth a trip to the AP House there? If so I’ll ask my APH to make an appointment.

Last APH visit I did was to HK earlier in the year and I had a great trip.

I’d recommend a visit. The staff are very nice and they’ve opened up the top floor that has a wonderful terrace with some great views.

I visited year before covid... different times for sure... you could ring the bell, walk in from the street and be ofered perpetual calendar...

Very friendly and nice place... they didn't know a thing about watches or AP, but as I said very friendly, nice and welcoming people

I had the best luck in Barcelona, they offered more than a few pieces.... I just feel that the flex culture and safety of even wearing a watch in major cities in Spain or anywhere in Europe..

I hope you ask them if anything is available, and can pick something up!

Thanks for the replies.

I’ve messaged AP House in Bond Street and asked them to book it for me.

Shouldn’t be an issue for a high roller like you Stephen.

Probably get a 15407st as a VVIP walk in too…..

Was there while ago but very cool and welcoming. Probably best place to get allocations.

I visited yesterday with my two sons. They were very warm and welcoming and was looked after by a lovely lady called Blanca.

The Director came and had a chat for about 20 minutes which was lovely too.

All in all an excellent AP experience.
