Icon14 15202or discontinued??

Hello AP forum, I have recently shown my full interest in AP ROs and esp the modern Jumbo in Rose gold, just have some questions!

Is it true that the 15202OR Jumbo Rose Gold in Blue dial discontinued? What is everyones thought or fact, I thought it was just the 15202st..
1. If it is discontinued do you reckon a very similar rose gold jumbo will come out with a new movement?
2. How has the price sky rocketed so much in the past 2-3 years, I understand that steel models do but don't understand completely for a gold model.
3. Just also curious on if there was a waiting list for this model back in the years or was it readily available in limited quantities? Like was it on display lets same 5-6 years ago?
4. Some wrist shots will be good heh

Thanks!

Everyone is using watches as if they were bitcoin or crypto investments, that's how.

You can purchase 15202or at retail price in Jan 2020 from either boutique (not a long wait) or grey market at retail. Price started to skyrocket after July 2020. In June 2020, 15202or cost just $67,000. That was the last good price for most AP watches.

Do we have official confirmation from Corporate?

Because the CEO has only confirmed that the 15202ST is to be discontinued.

Only the steel is discontinued as far as I’m aware and I’ve been able to place an order for the white gold/salmon dial since the announcement.

Correct.

AP's CEO explicitly stated that they will be discontinuing the 15202ST in 2022. He did not reference any other 15202's, nor did he say *when* in 2022 (right?).

It's still being produced in 2021.
