Suggestion for 15400 or 15500

Hi everyone,

I am considering to buy 15400 or 15500 from AD. However, I don't have experience with AP AD. Is it hard to get these models for a new client?

Thank you so much

For your information, the 15400 is discontinued and you can only buy 15500 from the Boutique and AD. Overall it’s somewhat difficult to get a 15500 as a new customer. Grey and black dial, expect a couple months to year wait. Blue dial is nearly impossible to buy as a new customer.

There’s a reason why grey market prices are 10-20% above retail to put it like that. As the previous poster said, the 15400 is not being made anymore and hence not available at an AD.

In my opinion the 15400 is more beautiful than the 15500, but I’d recommend you try on both and find out which one you want and also which dial color. Then take it from there.

As others mentioned 15400 discontinued, your only option if buying from boutique is the 15500 unless you are looking for different wrist sizes then you might look into 15202 39mm and 15450 37mm

15500 becoming harder to get as interest is rising but not an impossible mission. I think silver black and gray dials are easier to get as a first client than the blue dial. Still it’s possible to get blue dial as your first but might require a bit of luck.

Good luck
