Thank you so much mate
Much appreciated! I am beyond ecstatic by this acquisition.
The London boutique is absolutely fantastic. The boutique manager was great and the sales associate is incredible. They certainly give you the service that is expected by the brand. I am very much looking forward to add the 16202 in my small, but growing, collection.
The ceramic Offshore was shockingly cool, however at 43 I think its a bit too much. I do think the perfect size for the Offshore collection is 42mm, but thats my personal taste. Never tried on anything ceramic before and I was in awe of the finishing, attention to detail and how cool the watch was. One gripe I had was the strap that was in calfskin. Id much more prefer that they went with a rubber strap with some pattern, like on the 26238ST and TI.
Anyway, thank you so much mate!
My first Royal Oak, ref 15510.
Once again, my better half and I found ourselves in London, heading to the Audemars Piguet London boutique. I had notified them well in advance that we'd be dropping by during the Halloween weekend, and they promised to make our visit special. A call from...
Congrats!
Lucky you! I had a very bad experience at London boutique after I told them I’m from the US. Didn’t even get to sit down. Basically they just shoo me away. Super awkward. Kind of same experience in France so I just thought that’s what they do to foreign c...
Much appreciated!
Thanks mate! I had the same experience in the US, though they offered me the white dial 15510. After what I understand, when you are a client and in the system, there should be no barriers. Which boutique did you visit in London?
it was your first time buying from the london boutique?
They look nice, quite a change from my experience in AP boutiques recently
Much appreciated
Thanks mate! I am ecstatic about the grey dial. It is very vibrant and it makes the watch very monochromatic. The range of the dial is very suprising; going from silvery white to black, even brown if the lightning is warm enough.
Congratulations on your RO. Glad to hear and see that you found
a salesperson who knows his job and cares.
Well done Sir, Congratulations!
A wise decision, and now the 16202 is on the horizon! That is still the best AP for my tastes, and the dial color on the 16202 is just tops. Enjoy this one in the meantime!
Thank you Michael,
I adore the grey dial and monochromatic expression of this time piece. The 16202 is on the horizon and I cannot wait to get there. Much appreciated!
Boutique or AP House?
Firstly, congrats. When you say boutique, do you mean AP House on Bond St or somewhere else?
Thank you mate
By boutique I mean do mean the boutique at Sloane Street. Next time I do believe I will be visiting the AP House in Bond Street - never been there before!
Great story and write up 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I was happy to read that the grey dial happened for you, congratulations! The London boutique sounds amazing…in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever read anyone having a bad experience there. Very classy.👌🏽 The 16202 looks great on you. You are correct that it’s...

Interesting point about the ROO strap.
I haven’t seen this new calfskin strap in person, but I like cardura straps in general, and this looks like cardura. But some comments have said it’s a little stiff. However I agree with you that the patterned rubber straps are very cool too.👌🏽
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful journey...
It's clear you may be one of the most passionate new members of the AP family! Enjoy your beautiful new piece, and onward to the next piece! I bet with the background of the Fjords in Norway, there is no better wrist shot! Cheers Peter
Thank you so much Peter
I very much appreciate your kind words! I have no heavy weight pieces like you do, but I hope to get there someday. If we visit Stavanger this summer I will definitely take with me my Oak and take a wrist shot with Lysefjord! Crossing my fingers for the 1...
Thanks for sharing your experiences
of the boutique and its friendly customer service. Congratulation on your new 15510.
Kiitos my friend!
Appreciate it very much! Still excited about this piece and I am happy to share about my visits!
Congratulations!
Many congratulations on such an amazing piece. The 15510 is definitely a grail piece in any dial, but definitely a gray or black dial are amongst my favorites since the famous blue dial is out of reach for a mere mortal like me. In my personal and humble ...
Much appreciated
Thank you! The Royal Oak is certainly a grail watch for me as well and a big step going forward with the boutique. The main reason for wanting grey is twofolded: For one, I am bit of a minimalist and found the grey dial very charming. It has the qualities...
