Now that makes sense.

In this case, you are a very good friend of a friend.

Dropping close to half a million on a green 5711 is quite a thing when you don't even own one Patek before. So it is being bought as a status trophy? But then if they can drop 1/2 million just like that for a show-off piece, they should probably just go for it as it is likely just toy money in this case.
