You 'need' something truly highlighting the very best of timepiece art and science, so yes to FPJ Havana.

Does anyone know if FPJ boutique will discount the souverain models? The one i am looking at is 35 but looking to spend 28ish. Don’t want to buy used or second hand.

No, that’s the answer I have gotten each time I have asked and I have a good relationship with a boutique manager. You are looking for 20% which may be even difficult at an AD.

Thank you for the response! I had a feeling the answer was going to be no.

While it's a workaround, the only way I found to get a discount is via purchase abroad where you will get a VAT refund. The Paris boutique does this directly so you get 20% off (if memory serves) at the point of sale. No need to go through one of the intermediaries like Global Blue, at least a couple years ago when I inquired. Obviously this will be a challenge given the current state of affairs.

The other option is to purchase through an AD as they will likely be more willing to move new product, particularly now.
