15202 question

Is the blue dial / jumbo 15202 only available at boutiques? I've read conflicting posts

It started boutique only but is now also available at certain dealers. Call around.

Here it's only via boutique for the 15202 they are controlling it still - when you call the AD they will always say no stock.

Sometimes its just misinformation in the interest of the sale & sometimes the ADs are just the last to know.

Gus, did a cursory search on this forum and in the thread titled 15400 now at ADs, a couple of people have stated that the 15400 blue dial is only available at the boutique!!

I talked to the AP boutique a few weeks back and they had confirmed the 15202 has always been available at ADs. Blue 15400 has been Boutique only for a while now (and also stated by the boutique as such) so unless we see an I serial selling at an AD, I'd say it's safe to believe that's still the case.

I happened to see a 15202 in the window of Cellini in the Waldorf yesterday...so I guess some ADs have them

I picked up my 15202 from Royal De Versailles in Toronto this past weekend. RDV is definitely not an AP boutique.

15202 is at both. HOWEVER, finding one at an AD is not always easy, and if they don't discount much, it's probably better to get from boutique with 5 year warranty vs a 2/3 from AD.

Plus the level of service and swag from boutique is pretty amazing...right Ken :-)
