I was going to buy a 15450 for my wife ~2 years ago and they were available 10k shipped from ADs lol
My ad told me he send it to me and if she doesn't like it he'd take it back they were so hard to move.

Yikes....I was thinking about getting a 15450 in 2020 but I guess I may have to rethink my option set at this price.

But now that AP boutiques are no longer third party ADs but AP’s owned and operated stores, I’m not sure how open to discounting they will be.

The price increases on the 41mm and 38mm ROCs are also double digit increases...

On the other side, the fabrication cost of the 15400 must be higher of a few euro...
The margin ratio on 15450 must be now more balanced vs other models. |

Yay, so AP now sells the 15450ST for 19k€ to flippers/greys and they are probably available for the real buyer for 25-30k€ if you don't want to bundle with fugly codes 11.59.

The price increase is huge for no justification whatsoever, no updates on look no new movement?
The 38m Chrono price increase is unjustifiable they just released it few months ago!! |

AP is chasing higher profitability margins like crazy.

Definitely bro they are taking full advantage of current market. The question is what will they do when the demand soften in economic downturn, will AP reduce prices in order to sell? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would think so. I’m very interested to see how the grey market reacts. Are they going to raise the prices by an equivalent percentage? |

And AD will discount. AP will at most do a modest 5% discount at a boutique for a repeat customer.
There are no AP owned outlets in Vegas. But again, AP has no issue adjusting MSRP. They did it with gold pieces, they did it with the 44 ROO ceramic when they switched models, etc. |
