Thank you so much, Tony!

You are too kind. I’m glad this post was helpful and, most importantly, I wish you the best for finding the 16202 that sings to you! I’m looking forward to seeing which one you will choose to complement your beautiful green dial 15510! Best, Emmanuel

Many thanks Emmanuel for pulling together such a comprehensive report.

My one and only AP is the second generation 15202. I purchased this in the grey market back in 2014 at list - those were the days 🤣. Apart from the green dial a few years later there hasn’t been another that I’ve coveted in the meantime. The charm of doin

AP could sell a million 16202s.

Alas, they hold back the production with this model, as other brands also do with certain pieces. They all play that same game, unfortunately. Still, I can only praise the timepiece itself. About perfect, IMO. But a shame many who want one can't get one.

My first visit at the AP boutique Geneva

Yesterday was a great experience. Kindly staff and wonderful timepieces! I really liked these two pieces. As I have a small wrist (6.5 inches), the 16202ST (jumbo) is perfect for me. Love it. As I really love diver watches, I was very attracted by the 157

The most strange thing is imo ...

20-30years ago EVERYBODY wants a Royal Oak OFFSHORE and preferably a limited edition and NOBODY wanted a simple Royal Oak. I remember my AD had 2- 3 ref 15202 but he could't sell them even with a 20% discount Today the OFFSHORE lost interest and everybody

Halloween in London

Once again, my better half and I found ourselves in London, this time headed to the AP House on New Bond Street. A week prior, I received a call from the sales associate. Last year, he mentioned he’d work on securing the 16202 for my next acquisition, but
