I have some hard thinking to do right now. I don't really want to give up a classic piece like the 15202ST, but this one should be quite stunning. I was tipped off by the HK boutique when I was checking out the 15403IP, as I remarked that it would be interesting to see this combo in the 15202. The boutique supervisor told me that I was in luck for SIHH, and that I would be delighted with a "fume" dial, as he remembered I looked at the all-platinum bracelet ROO a few months back and was pleased with the dial.

In person, the 15403IP didn't knock my socks off because of the dial, it was the platinum/Ti juxtaposition that really got my attention. Especially not at the $35,000 price tag it commanded, which is close to double that of the 15400. Even though it's an LE of 200, it's been a slow seller, as I saw 4/6 boutiques in HK still had them on display in December, when they were released in May. It makes me wonder how the 15202IP will sell if they ask $40,000 or more.

I'd be surprised if it came in at that price. Considering the 15400 in Ti/Pt is retailing for $35K, and the 26331IP is at $42.7K. The premium AP seems to be putting is close to double the ST retail it seems.
