Perpetual Calendar Availability

Hey all

How long the wait / how tough is it to get a perpetual calendar w blue face? LocTed in Chicago. I know the new super thin one is impossible but the standard one?

Thanks

I don’t think they are that hard to get, I saw 2 in Paris a couple of months ago, one in the Boutique and another in an AD.

In steel? Funny because when I inquired about it in March they said they are only getting one this year that is pre-sold. Marketing BS at its best.

I was in the same boat as you. As a fresh data point, I didn’t see any RO PCs in either London or Paris boutiques (SS and PM). Ended up getting a CODE PC instead which I’m very happy with.

Nice. Please post some incoming pics and how it feels like living with it......patiently waiting for AP to release a Code PC in SS.

Selfridges had it on display for a while before it sold. This was several months ago, but when one comes in it does sit a bit.

Its more timing than hard to get IMO. They dont get many but there isn't a big list either

Harrods seems to consistently have PM ones

Interesting please post your impressions on the watch, it has been bashed so much on the net, but comments with the real live experience are rare.

Think you’re right. This was only from searching this week. It was all spur of the moment given the tanking pound and the ability to get the entire 20% VAT taken off.

I waited about 4 months for my Stainless steel 41mm PC after placing order with a deposit at the AP boutique.

Was told a boutique only gets 2-3 pieces max per year for the blue dial stainless steep PC.

Good luck in your search, its an extremely attractive model in the AP Royal Oak range.

Cheers
