AP price increase in Jan 2020
Just received a call from boutique that my allocated 15500 will increase in price by sgd 1600 (usd 1100k). Was asked to go down to boutique and also will give me ‘something nice’ in return.
Anyone got the same news? |

Is this worldwide or a currency adjustment?

Why were the fellow members asked to visit the boutique? Sign a document to lock you in at the current price? Or to acknowledge that you may need to pay more? |

Not too happy to hear that since I am also interested in getting a 15500 from the boutique.
On the other hand, the price increase may also boost the value retention on my existing 15400.. hmm... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Interesting, wasn’t expecting to hear that, perhaps it won’t be worldwide but I’m sure it is.

Prices last year were already renewed to $19.2k USD for 15500 from 17.x for the outgoing 15400. Odd if they raise it globally in just 1 year.

Well, the UK retail price on the 15500 is £18700 GBP (approx $24600 USD @ current fx rate)

The price increase came at a very unexpected time. Might be holding onto my 15400 a little longer then LOL |

Any additional news on this globally? Singapore seems to be the only country where it is already in affect.

Haven't heard anything about an increase in the US. Hopefully that stands.
Worth noting that some prices in other parts of the watch industry have decreased in 2019... specifically, Jaeger-LeCoultre. |

My US AD told me today that several pieces (mostly ROs and ROCs) are increasing on January 1. One data point I remember is the 15450 steel is going from $16,500 to $19,300. This one was the biggest increase. I want to say the 15500 was closer to an increase of $1,500 and the 41mm ROC in steel around $2,000 more.
He showed me the full list from AP but I don’t remember any others specifically. It didn’t look like ROOs we’re going up much if at all. |
