Yes, not by me but multiple reputable folks on here have heard from their SAs that the successor will come this year

Regarding your question as to my AP journey, I started collecting AP's back in 2013 and purchased 4 offshores from my AD over 7 years and still have all of them. My AD lost their license and I switched over to the new AP boutique in about 2021. Worked with a new SA and they noted I had registered my offshores on the AP site and honored my purchase history (so thankfully I was not starting from scratch). Since then my wife has purchased 2 APs from the boutique, then my SA transitioned to the new AP House last year and since then I've been fortunate enough to receive 3 Royal Oaks: 15510st Blue dial, 15510or full gold and the 15407st! I hope that's helpful background |

To be honest when you get the call for this piece you jump LOL! I love the aesthetics of the slate gray dial against the accents of the gold bridge and brass gears. The contrast, depth and endless details really just work perfectly IMO . The new iteration may also be amazing, but without knowing the details I can't be certain it would strike the same notes for me. |

Congrats! So great to see the timepiece being allocated to a long standing collector.
The openwork is simply a top top collectible, across all brands. |

Congratulations ! A real achievement to be allocated one. My favorite AP skeleton work !
I am waiting for a 15407or. SA was quite confident. I hope I will make a nice incoming thread too soon. |

Congratulations, John, this looks excellent on your wrist
Your journey is also very helpful as I always wonder how much purchases for the wife influence big allocations in general. If you can recall, how long ago did you ask for the 15407 until they finally allocated? |

Congratulations! It's a grail for sure. Also great to hear AP continued to look after you despite SA's moving around/AD losing its license!
