Is a 15500OR (strap) obtainable for a new AP customer at Malaysia?

I am looking to get my first AP and always admire AP’s Rose gold. They look absolute stunning. Would it be hard to obtain one at Malaysia’s boutique? Thanks

You can always drop by the boutique and have a chat with the team at the boutique. They are very nice and open to discuss options available but 15500 will always be difficult but not impossible. The higher price point of RG might make it easier as it’s less accessible it equally the production numbers are lower.

Will they promise something and not deliver? Because I am actually a customer from HG and I have to say.. maybe it’s just me. Met their requirements and nothing delivered. Yeah I know the SS will be hard that’s why trying to build a relationship first before requesting for the SS. That’s why I am trying to opt for the Rose gold and maybe a ROO also.

I've been told that a Code is typically the entry ticket to any RO these days.

The AP boutique generally delivers on their promises BUT with the market being mental these days it’s hard to actually guarantee anything unless there is a written agreement. However compared to ADs boutiques are more transparent in their dealing and may get more allocation compared to AD.

RG would be a bit easier than SS but it’s still hard. If you plan to go for RG (15500OR), it’s better to go for full bracelet and order extra leather strap for 2 different looks. AP bracelet is the most gorgeous timepiece. If you order RG with strap and later on want to add full bracelet, it will cost you a lot more.

that's good the hear. Also read a lot on the forum that AP boutiques are a lot better in terms of their service as well. Hopefully I get the 15500OR soon.
