PuristSPro worldwide exclusive **15202IP LIVE Photos!!**
What can I say, HUGE thanks to "our AP Man in Geneva, PL!!" You are the BEST my Friend!! ...
Ah ha! Is this going to make the current Jumbo...
much more easily available? 😬 Love the continuous improvement and keep making things better! This looks great and I can’t wait to see what others brands are coming out. Thank you for the live photo. Rgds Raymond
Doubtful, very doubtful.
This new variation is only 250 pieces, boutique only. Supply of the steel 15202 is always limited, and lately, very low.
Only 250....ok probably only allocate to AP loyal customers only
Any insight on MSRP? Thank you.
Yes, $34,800
This will be an easy sell out through boutiques, obviously. Really, it is not too big of a premium, considering the platinum, titanium, and very special dial.
So you prefer it to your QEII??
I think you do ;-) And I agree, more than I could put in words.
Yes, no doubt.
I will let go the QEII. I got it from the bank safe a couple of days ago and am wearing it right now but I have come to the conclusion that it is too bold for me. The 15202 is just a different league.
Yes, it has always been a different league. It is the 39mm case and 8mm thickness...
Other Royal Oaks are just "different".
No doubt about that, it is very reasonable...
By the way, what is the MSRP of current 39mm Jumbo? I can’t seem to find that anywhere? Sorry to ask so many questions about pricing, last one here I promise. Rgds Raymond
Gosh I thought it would be more.
Stunning, stunning piece. I think I may place a call to the boutique tomorrow but with only 250 pieces not super hopeful.
Oh yeah, good luck W!!! 🙏👍
You can get it. This is like the Montblanc 1858 story...you’ll run into the AP CEO and convince him of your desire and a few days later you’ll get the call...😎
Haha! Going to sleep over it.
Always quite wanted a jumbo but let’s see what other goodies are released this year...
Alright, hold onto your senses then...
actually TBH, there is another RO 15202 model that is high on my list and even more exclusive: the Hour Glass yellow gold/green dial made of 50. Perhaps have to wait until I’m older and can pull off the all yellow gold look. 🤔. We should both get one, obv...
A nice one indeed.
Maybe I should aim for the full platinum jumbo then... 🤪 I really do like this platinum/ti model though...I’m not sure however if the fully polished bezel would drive me nuts...
From what I see in the live photos, it is exceptional.
I would think even the owner of a steel model could happily add this version as a 2nd. The character is entirely different.
Entirely. I read a comment elsewhere...
Stating that from a distance, nobody would know it is different. I entirely disagree. Anyone that knows Audemars Piguet will spot the exceptional bezel immediately.
Wear with caution
The platinum bezel will be a magnet for scuffs 😱😱😱😱 The black polishing is a m a z i n g 😍😍😍 250 pieces is really a limited edition; well done AP!
I don't know. I have heard the same thing for years about the steel model.
And mine continues to look brand new. You either hit your watches against thing or you don't, I am more in the 2nd camp. 250 is quite rare, and they don't make many variations of this reference. I love it.
Agree, my .02 is that the thin profile of the watch really reduces potential for scratches
I’ve been wearing my AP 25820SP which also has the platinum bezel for about 75% of the past 6 months. It’s a slightly thicker watch than this 15202IP since mine is a perpetual calendar but I’ve had no problems with scratches. Obviously I don’t wear the AP...
Joe, once again, this PC was a great catch.
Perfect size and beautiful look. One of the best PCs on a bracelet out there.
Thanks Volker!
the list of desirable ROs is long, mostly because the fit is so comfortable. 😃
No, the polishing is called black
Because it reflects the whole light spectrum (visible) and seems to be black. I've read that definition in the famous Giulio Papi's book on finishing types. When I'll be back home I'll look for the title. If you look at the front photo, the bezel seems to...
Wow
This is a real pleasure for the eyes. Seems to have a bit more ‘magic’ than the steel. Dare I say, as I love the steel RO
I don't see it as superior or preferential to the steel version...
But it does have a whole new character, possibly magic, as you say.
Yes I think so
Now that I’ve had a chance to digest it I’m just happy it’s there. I think it is a very worthwhile compliment to the original steel version. It doesn’t compete but it offers a very nice alternative, I even think Genta himself would’ve liked it! After all ...
Wow!
The only thing more stunning than the watch was the exclusive insight. I read about this model elsewhere on this forum long before the Hodinkee’s of this world had even mentioned the possibility
Thanks, Broxi. In this case, I am just pleased for all of us that we see real photos.
As credited, PL is da Man!
Why must the PT bezel and bracelet links must be polished
Why can’t they brush the damn thing like the all plat ROC It’s a major turnoff for me to be honest
