What month does AP normally do price increases?
Curious about APs historical trend of adjusting prices.

Does it happen randomly or usually on specific months of the year? Is it normally across the board or specific pieces?

Any month is a good months for price increases...

But if you had something coming in soon, I'd try to get it before January, just in case.

After seeing the price point on the Cubitus, I would expect very shortly.

100% but my thoughts are as soon as the pricing was revealed for the Cubitus I'm sure AP was salivating

Is that a joke or for real ? April fools day and all. I remember AP increasing prices multiple times per year

I think so too. Would be weird to release a bunch of new references and then hike prices a couple months thereafter.

Prices are so high already, i think they should probably pause price hikes for a couple of years. The PM QPs are close to 200k. How much more can you really charge for those considering they are all below retail now.

There have been no price changes this year, at least not in my region. I think we are going to see a shift of strategy from 2x per year, to 1x or even a pause for a while.

What about a price drop like they have done in the last with precious metal models? Maybe after 150th.
Like other have mentioned, QP prices are out of control.

New, much more advanced, QP movement is coming. Unlikely they'll drop the price for that, unlike the bottom falls out of the market (and even then...).

16202 will get an increase to 35’000 CHF and still be a deal.

AP should better start thinking of a strategy to decrease, not increase.
