Audemars Piguet in Seattle, WA

[HauteHorlogerie]

I recently moved to Seattle and have been settling in. Fortunately I've already created a great relationship at Rurgeon Raine for all my Patek needs.

My main concern right now is wear can I find AP?! I've never lived somewhere without an AP Boutique...or AD...

Anyone want to chime in?! Thanks!

As a temporary and recent transplant to Seattle (by way of New York), I can sadly say that... you're out of luck. You won't find AP, VC, or ALS anywhere.

TR is the city's only authorized PP dealer. Within a few blocks is Fox's, for IWC; and Tourbillon, for Breguet, Omega, Blancpain, and other Swatch-owned brands. Alvin Goldfarb in Bellevue stocks Rolex, Panerai, and JLC. There are a few Ben Bridge locations, at least one of which stocks Cartier and IWC.

That's about it for the city. I'd love for someone to chime in and correct me, but I'm not very hopeful. Watches aren't very popular here. I've been half considering a weekend excursion down to San Francisco just to look at a few watches.

Thanks for the input. Bummer really. I will have to take a day trip to BC or a weekend to Cali. I've made great relationships at Ben Bridge downtown and Turgeon Raine already. But am missing ALS + Audemars Piguet thanks guys!

Steven Goldfarb (from AG) told me once he is considering carrying AP line...
Panerai sells well here, I don't see any reason why AP wouldn't.

I could see AP doing very well here. At least I would provide a half dozen or so pieces hahaha

Just get your AP fix when you travel, then order from a trusted seller on the forum :)

I enjoying buying from AD's and boutiques it's half the fun of getting a new piece for me. Though packages in the mail are fun too...I just like being treated like a king! Hahahahaha

I hope Goldfarb gets AP. Steven been great to work with. Come to think of it - so has Ben Bridge (they got my my white SS Daytona when it was nearly impossible to get) and the folks at Fox's have always been very nice when I'm window shopping.

Norm Turgeon is a cool cat as well. One day I may have to break down and pick up a PP from him.

Norm Turgeon and Jerry Raine are the best of the best. Both great to work with, they offered me a 5270G before anyone else a month or so ago, I passed as I am waiting for what Basel 2014 brings.
