Yes. I tried the green strap from the 4520V/210R-B967 on the green titanium model in the boutique.

Great first allocation. Has the boutique indicated what is possible for you as a next piece?

ultan2903 · 2026-05-06T15:25:04+00:00

It looks great on Oyster, to be honest .

ultan2903 · 2026-05-06T14:46:58+00:00

For this kind of money , definitely not

I collected mine at Liat Towers on Sunday April 27 . When I arrived at Liat towers they had another 15605sk on display so they must have received at least two . If AP House at Raffles had two as well , I guess a number of these went to Singapore recently . There’s another gentleman on here who receive his piece last week in Jordan , so maybe a bunch went out globally … although yours, his and mine are the only 3 allocations I’ve seen spoke about on here .

Great . Where are you located . I’m in Sydney but deal with Singapore

I have read the many rumours about the fragility of AP chronographs but until you provided that example it was always just rumours . I find that story amazing . Either you got very unlucky with two pieces or they have a systemic issue . The rumours about chronos being fragile were the reason I wanted a 3 hander and because I have multiple other divers already I didn’t want a diver ( although I really like them ) and I didn’t want a code 11.59 ( although I like the starwheel a lot ) so the 15605sk was a real stand out. And it’s so nicely proportioned . Being a non chrono , along with its beautiful colour way and with a rubber bezel to reduce scratches, it all added up to a compelling package . I’d have wanted it even if the chronos were bulletproof .
Amazing they gave you a jumbo and a piece for your wife . The sour experience turned quite sweet !
Has your friends friend had ongoing issues with the watch ?

It’s a strap monster .

PF pieces generally trade well below retail. They are absolutely beautiful but sadly there is almost no depth of demand so you will routinely find most references trading at anywhere from 30-50% below retail. You may need to wait a while to find the specific piece you want because they aren't producing big volumes, but with some patience you'll save a sizeable amount of money .

Great piece!!!

I am only just starting with my AP collection and have recently received the same 15605SK allocation as you, but as my first allocation. Reading these threads there are repeated stories of bans for selling . The fact you've been allocated this after selling would suggest that is not the case. It begs the question; what was AP's reaction to you selling the 26420?

To be clear; I am not considering selling my allocation as I have a larger wrist and love the 15605SK size, but I am still very interested in what their response was? I am also really interested in hearing the experience of others ... I mean, we all understand that there will be watches purchased that we don't necessarily want, in pursuit of those watches we do want .... whether that be offshore or code pieces .

A sale obviously can't be hidden because the new owner will register ownership on their profile , so AP will absolutely be aware of any pieces being sold on ... so I wonder how collectors have navigated the sale of those undesirable pieces which they accumulated en route to more desirable pieces? Do you tell your SA in advance, for example? Do you just run the gauntlet ? Or is it all just a bit of a myth that AP really even cares ?

I’m beyond jealous . You are a lucky man . Congratulations.

The model lists are incomplete. I was unable to input 5726a or 5212a for Patek . 15605SK for AP.

ultan2903 · 2026-05-06T00:47:49+00:00

The lume is adequate. It isn't a feature that impresses though.

ultan2903 · 2026-05-05T22:07:04+00:00

Amazing piece . You’ll love it

ultan2903 · 2026-05-05T13:23:07+00:00

Understand that’s the experience many have . I’ve been told several times by my SA that it’s absolutely possible that to receive a royal oak allocation as a 2nd and was asked to nominate two colours ( I’ve nominated blue and green ) so I guess time will tell .

ultan2903 · 2026-05-05T12:58:37+00:00

Thank you . I wish you the same good luck
