AP House London Visit

Evening AP Enthusiasts,

Hope you’re all well and just wanted to share a short post saying how much fun my visit to AP House in London was yesterday. Oh and I thought it’d be nice to share a couple of photos with you too!

The new Jumbo…



The new 37mm RO that I’d really, really love to purchase as my first AP to mark my 40th in June…



I’d previously registered my interest in a 15450 via the Hong Kong AP House back in 2019 so will have to keep my fingers crossed that Sandra in London can work her magic!? Suffice it to say, it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be lucky enough to purchase a new 15550, given the 50th year celebrations and the huge demand this year.

I also got to try on the new 41mm chronos and some PM Jumbos. I truly can’t wait to become part of the AP family

Nice shots! Does AP still have 15450s that have yet to be allocated?

I didn’t ask tbh so not sure. Doubtful I’d say given how fast watches are moving currently.

I found that the newer 15550 wore visually larger than the 15450 but that’s going off memory not comparing them next to each other.

Got it thanks, I misconstrued what you meant when you said fingers crossed for an allocation.

Makes sense that the 15550 wears larger, as there is less text on the dial.

Thanks for the report back Niki. Nice lady Sandra and I hope she can maybe get what you’d like for your upcoming 40th in June
