Mike, I think that is why Patek is selecting the people who will receive this piece and all the NY pieces. They will know from every dealer the names that are submitted, and will check the record of customer purchases and their habits, like if they still have the watches they purchased or flipped them. My AD today even told me that Patek has asked for the addresses of every person whose name is submitted so they can verify. Remember supposedly Patek keeps record of the sale of every Patek sold and who purchased the piece. I too wish they could limit any under the table purchases from AD's that end up in the open market.
