Journey to Supersonnerie

If you have acquired your supersonnerie, could you share pics and your experience leading to acquisition of that piece?

How many AP you have before you can request it? Also, what is the retail price? I've heard it is more expensive than the Tourbillon

Thanks

The black ceramic with or without diamonds was very difficult and with such low production was allocated out by HQ very quickly. Other metals also extremely hard and require HQ approval. I think it is safe to assume that allocations only went to top collectors with multiple large complication prior purchases and certainly much more challenging than a tourbillon. As a broad rule of thumb they are priced at about 1.8-2.0x the equivalent Tourbillon.

Other SuperSonnnerie models such as the Code versions I think are also very difficult. I suspect the latest version of the RD1 might be slightly easier if you have good history with AP but that is just a hunch. RD1 obviously at a very different price point.

Thanks for sharing. This makes lots of sense!
