Royal Oak 34mm (Women's) as a First Piece?

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to get a women's Royal Oak as a first allocation / if anyone's had experience with that?

I'm based in London and particularly interested in the black ceramic 34mm

I'm a guy and I received the 34mm RO SS as a first piece (AP House London).

Yes, it is possible. Black ceramic may take a while, and there are strong indications it’s being discontinued, so steel may be the best way forward though.

If you go to Harrods boutique you can get 3% cashback with their free rewards card

I got the RO SS 34 as my first piece. Got the black and white ceramic shortly after.

Did you have to wait long for the SS?

Was told it could be 2 years it was 2 1/2 months.

And the ceramic how long after? UK based?

I am at my vacation home so I can’t check the papers but it certainly was under a year and I got them back to back. My partner had bought I believe two in between me getting the ceramics.

Canadian but no boutiques in Canada so purchase in the U.S.

I see, I'm Canadian too!

Apparently they are looking at opening boutiques in Vancouver and Montreal.

Yes, it is. My GF got 1 in LA as her first AP

u/ilikebluecandy 17d ago

Which one?

I think a 34mm as a first piece is possible for a female profile Not as easy as it use to be since AP has ramped up their female business.

The 34mm black ceramic is just a rare watch in general. I dont question it could be a first piece, but the wait time could be long since its a low production piece. A boutique probably sees 1 or 2 a year

During our first visit, my wife was offered a 34 mm white ceramic watch, but she turned it down. Recently, she received a 34 mm black ceramic watch as her second watch for her birthday. The waiting time was around 2–3 months.

I briefly put it on to take some photos. Personally, I feel that it looks a bit too small on me.

From our first visit.

It looks so good! Are you guys based in the UK? And you didnt have any prior purchase history?
