50 th Royal Oak allocation criteria
Anyone have idea what is criteria to get allocate of 50 th RO, have been buying 6 timepieces from AP boutique during July 2020 till April 2021
During April till today, do not get any offer or allocation for my wish list which contains CODE, Offshore, RO. All of my timepieces still in my watch boxes. I saw several guys post of received it from boutique with less records but all of them have purchase history in year 2021, Does AP consider from year 2021 records only or else, and if they don’t offer we any watch in year 2021, then we are become disqualify or not. Thanks for all of your advice |

You say all of your watches are still in their boxes, does that mean you don't wear them? If so that would be the problem.

Might be your SA. He or she needs to be a strong advocate on your behalf, especially since now more valuable allocations (e.g., ceramics, perpetuals etc.) require more corporate approvals up the chain.

They wouldn't know that though.

I mean this respectfully, but I would imagine some part of the criteria for AP is allocating these watches to clients who they know actually wear the watches. I don't have a massive purchase history either, but it is spread out over a period of 6 years and about 5 watches in all. Every time I go into the AD, I have an AP on my wrist. I think that did come into play to an extent when they allocated a 50th anniversary 26240 to me a month ago. If I am in your shoes, I would start wearing them into the boutique. In my opinion, the hierarchy of people they won't sell 50th pieces to would start with flippers at the top, and hoarders right underneath. They are incredible watches, wear them and enjoy them :)

A lot of factors come into play but I imagine they’ve lined up something for you based on your history and it hasn’t come out yet hence the go around.
What have you expressed interest in prior to the Jan releases? Based on your preferences and if your SA knows what you’re looking for, they’ll make a recommendation on your allocation based on what they think they can get for you. Checking in and chasing your SA won’t make a difference at this point |

I always wear my APs when I visit the boutiques. And more than once, I would have my sales reps actually tell me she is happy to see marks and scratches on my Royal Oaks, as that meant I’ve been wearing them.

If you didn't wear your APs to the boutique they'll have to wonder when you do wear them. |

I do not know if wearing the AP to the boutique will increase the chances , but I think it’s just a gesture to show that you still keep all your watches in the collection

In year 2020 AP still not booming, buying their timepieces are more easier as there are only loss and no gain, after first quarter of year 2021, AP start booming and people que on for the timepiece.
During the period I buy rhe timepieces it is not difficult as is really you buy because you love it, not for others purpose. I keep wearing my watch, but visit boutique occasionally In year 2020 if you wish to buy AP just affordable and love it. |

Your question is inpolite to suspect others who are able to spend, no need to win lottery if you want to buy AP, it is reward to your 30 years hard working. |

The boutique shared with me that they reward passion and want to invest in customers that will buy for many more years to come. They appreciated the customers who supported them well before they were as popular. Also, they had to send full profiles to corporate for approval. Lastly, they told me horror stories of how demanding and mean customers can be to them. So being nice is the top criteria.

That's my understanding as well from the boutique.

CV997, Just be patient.
I am in a similar situation as you, bought 7 from Oct 2019 to Oct 2021. Has not received any 50th allocation yet. My friend whom i introduced in has already gotten a steel 26240 Green dial. It very much depends on what collection you have at the moment and what watches they have allocated for you. I heard that they would want their collectors to be as 'diversified' as possible. My situation is not helped by that my SA has just left in January this year, and my account has been handovered to a new lady. I have since touched based with my new SA and she has reassured that she will be closely following up. I would still say, be patient. The year is still very early, and there might be a few more annoucements. |
