Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15400 Authentication
Hi All. I'm new here so apologies in advance if I am posting this in the incorrect forum. I would like to get an opinion on the authenticity of an AP 15400 I recently purchased on the 'grey market'. I'm nearly certain that the piece is authentic but I purchased it brand new and received what I believe to be a fairly good price. While it may sound risky making such a purchase without have said piece authenticated in advance, the jeweler I purchased it from is local and has been around for quite some time. That said, I'm always a bit paranoid about these things ('these things' being large ticket purchases from unauthorized vendors). I've attached a few pics of the piece. I there are any experienced AP buyers out there I would love to hear your thoughts with regard to its authenticity. Thanks in advance to all who chime in!

OP - looks good, as long as it also came with the correct green boxes and 2 books (with matching serial) you're good. |
