AP 15202 gold - Authentic?
Hi all,

I am looking into obtaining a particular gold 15202, but wanted to hear other's thoughts on whether this authentic. Thanks!

The lustre of real gold can’t be faked and this looks right.

Thanks to the above posters.

I noticed that there is no "AP" logo on the bottom half, which 15202's usually have. Is there a reason for this? Older version?

Yes, this preceded the 40th anniversary retro model.

When did the 40th anniversary come out?

Other than the aesthetic changes, are there any changes to the movement, etc.?

2012. Dial and clasp changed. The yellow gold version was discontinued around then, relaunched last year as a novelty.

I love the intricate gold rotor design on these older pre-40th Jumbos.

It's a nice Jumbo but was not that popular, the 15300 was the more popular RO version when they were both in release, and now the 40th has been a huge hit, and in a reversal more coveted than the 15400.
