It seems likely it is a local distributor requirement at the moment.
I currently don't have any hopes to clear any of the waitlists I am on in Canada. It seems my best lead is the dealer that quoted a year as they are one of the oldest Patek dealers in HK, and when I was there it just so happened that there was a guy collecting his 5712/1A, and he was a first time Patek buyer according to him. It took maybe about 30 minutes of sweet talking the shop manager to get my name down.
Of course, if I do get the call, that means a 16 hour flight each way.  The 5712 is a watch worth it to me though. |
Man, that sounds exciting! Well, at least for me because I won't be spending the 32 hour round trip journey on a plane
The year should pass by relatively quickly, just enjoy what you've got or a coupe other purchases in the process to make it seem shorter
Not a bit of doubt in my mind that this particular watch (or any Patek Philippe) is certainly worth it!
