My New (Slightly Vintage) AP Acquisition!
I thought I would share my latest acquisition, a 14802. It is inbound and I should have it in hand next week.
I was desperately seeking an A Series 5402, but wasn't having any luck finding one in the right condition. I could have gotten a brand new 15202, but feel that the Jubilee is a bit more special, being limited to 1,000 watches in stainless, I believe.
I previously had a C Series in gold/stainless. I actually loved the watch but stupidly traded it away 7 or 8 years ago for a Breguet alarm watch. I've been thinking about getting a Jumbo ever since, and am proud to be the new owner of this one! This one is a "full set," coming with box and papers. I am looking forward to this one. It is definitely a keeper (unless, of course, a new old stock 5402 pops up)!
Thanks go out to Respo for his guidance over the past few months in helping me fulfill my quest to find a great AP!!
Enjoy the photos and I hope to participate often on the forum!

Help?
Hello all, I'm new to these forums and relatively new to the watch world. I'm looking to learn all I can and am in the market for an AP. Where do you guys look for these pieces? Obviously eBay has a lot of listings, but I'm sure there are plenty of collec...
Congratulations
Cannot waite to see pictures of it on your wriste. Best regards, George
Nice watch
Congratulations, saw this one also, it is complete which is quite rare. Funny enough, your dial is a dial you can find on 15002 with the upper case for the A and the P and a larger sized police. I don't know how if Audemars used 2 type of dials for the Ju...
I think yo are right
My 15002 is from 1995, and the dial is similar to the one on the RO Robert is getting. As the Jubilee and the 15002 were produced with some overlap, it is quite possible that the dial might have changed in this slight way for the latter Jubilees. I love t...

Thanks for all the good wishes!
I really appreciate all of the heartfelt congratulations. Nico knows I have been searching for a nice one for several months. He has also been my adviser, telling me which ones to stay away from which, until this one, was every example I came across. Most...
Not sure it is an isssue
Hi RDSChicago, I do not say it is a big deal, but clearly your dial is different from mine and different from all the 14802 I've ever seen. But it is not an issue at all, I guess AP has used two types of dials but I didn't know it. Your dial is also used ...
congrats, very charming watch!
post us more pics after received it. thanks for sharing your joy with us stefan
As long as you wait ...
for your watch to come: Let me show you the watch in the AP RO catalogue from 1994/95 ... My favourite at the moment is the Jubilee with salmon dial: Plus there was one in YG: Oliver ps: Quite interesting to see different crown positions, isn´t it?...
For those of you who have seen a 14802 . . .
It appears the top of the bezel has a brushed finish while the side of the bezel appears to be more polished. Is this the case? Thus far, I have only seen photographs and this is how they look to me. Thanks.
Oliver...
...are there any photos in your catalogue from 1994/1995 or other catalogues from around that period you might have of the 15002? I'd really love to see those if you have them... Yes, I am quite taken with the salmon dial of the Jubilee -- and I also real...
