First AP experience - novelties

Had the chance to visit my first AP Boutique and had a fantastic experience. Credit to the staff for making the trip memorable (there are no AP BoutiquesName:  IMG_6653.jpg

locally).

Have been a collector for a while (Rolex, PP etc.) and I must say the visit far surpassed my prior encounters with AD’s (I know AP is corporate owned).

Anyways, below shots of some of the novelties and ROO’s. My favourites being the 26240OR, 16202PT, 26420SO and the 15500ST in silver dial (my favourite of the 15500’s).

Meanwhile in Melb, only 2 watches on display.

Don’t think we’ll ever see a 50th anniversary piece here ;)

Boutiques are reserving their new models for everyone to see and try on before they start selling them. They will never be on "display"

I believe these pieces are making their way around Asia to all the corporate boutiques

Also, the rose gold 26240 is so clean.

15500 is being discontinued for sure. New models coming in April.
