From AD, 2 years only with option to extend one year. Only selected boutiques offer 5 years warranty.

No idea. You need to check with them directly. So far I know SG, HK and NYC offers 5 years. Tokyo does not. The additional 2 years warranty from boutique is local only.

Boutique 5 yr

Well I got mine from the AP showroom in Paris and the director talked about the 2+1 but not 5 years...

I was told (and have in writing) that i'm covered for 5 years. I bought at the Miami boutique.

Only ones bought at Boutiques do but you are paying for it. Boutique's don't discount so they throw in some goodies and 5 years warranty which is really 2 extra years since AP gives you an extra year if you waterproof test your watch before 2 years are up. Also most get nice discount on AP's at retailers maybe 20-25% so again you are paying a hefty premium for extra warranty which you don't know if you'll ever use. That is a big price tag IMHO for a few extra years which won't ever pay off when you are talking about nice discount on expensive watch. Think about it...

Iam looking at the 15202 but how do you get 20 to 25% discount? I saw some for sale by TRF sell section but was not much on the new one. Any other place you know off?

Not a 'policy' of AP, but rather used at select AP Boutiques (as many have noted this boutique in this country does, but others do not--Ginza is great example). NYC does offer it and they do offer 10% off (if they know you), but for me I probably won't keep the watch 3 years even, so it's not worth it.

However if you are buying 'Boutique only' pieces (and AP will start pushing that model more in the future FYI), then selecting a Boutique offering 5 years obviously makes sense.

You could probably buy from a non-boutique with a discount, then get the watch serviced after the 3 year period just for the 2 year warranty that comes with a service, and still save money as opposed to paying full price for the 5 year warranty
