New AP Catalog

I don’t think this year’s catalog has been out long. My SA at the Boutique sent me one this week. Standard magazine size, 248 pages.

Here’s last year’s compared to this year’s:



I really like the glossary at the end of each collection:

Those look nice, bet they have some awesome photography in there! I kinda wanna get one, especially if it does have awesome photos like I’m thinking haha
Do they just give them out to clients at the boutiques for free? Maybe I can ask for one…

How's the description of the grey and black ghosts? Do they look like real possibilities?

Well, there is a full two page spread of the Grey Ghost... but it’s the same two pictures from the website listing.

In the Glossary, though, it does say Ti case. I think some were questioning that in the Grey Ghost thread.

Edit: Pictures:

Starting to wonder if there is anything about AP you don’t have a thorn about! Almost a policy at this point!

i like my 15400 a lot. I just cant keep the catalogue as a reference book as the binding falls out. Its nice, but its hard to keep that many pages together

I'm sure your Boutique will give you one (iirc, you got your watch from Beverly Hills, right?). Yes, they give them out for free at the boutique. And they do have nice photography, and a nice section on AP History and watchmaking in the front.

Yes I got it at Beverly Hills. That’s great news, I’ll call to see if they can send me one. Thanks!
