beautiful - the morning on the beach wood marquetry piece is very cool - I think they are like 125-150k, right ? A bit much for me right now but would love to own one.

I thought they were closer to half that.

Or, a bit more - like $70-90.

Pretty sure rarehandcrafts start at about £100k.

haha many pateks i do like. i am just a bit sensitive towards wearing 'artistic' handicraft on my wrist. i do appreciate the skills of the enamelers and other rare handcrafters but i find the choice of certain motifs tacky.
but since you asked, i have and like the 5231J but have refused other 'rare handcraft' offers so far.

Nice watch.

[mooty]

ichiran, w/ your collection I am pretty certain if you applied for MR you will get accepted..

I have been waiting for rare handcraft. but the trick is how can I commit b4 I see what the piece is? if I don't comment now, I am already late... but I don't want a piece simply b/c its rare handcraft. I want one with the subject I care about. Russels was one of the one I realy wanted as well as the other auto motive. as I have been a car guy and quite a large collection of cars a long time. but by the time I seen the images on line of the car rare handscrat, it was all spoke for already...

Bring it up with your AD before watches and wonders and then contact him upon release day which ones you would like. Unfortunately I need the funds to put into my own business otherwise I would report back and give it a try this year. Even though I bet it would take some real luck and maybe many tries over the next years.

WRT turning down a rare handcraft that is in hand, if an AD really did apply for one it has to have a customer tied to it at least in the old way. Pretty sure my application pieces came with the papers filled out but I’d have to dig the boxes out of the closet.

In that case, it makes sense that they wouldn’t sell it to a walk-in and it would go back to Patek to go through the application process again.

yes, seems so. i doublechecked with the AD today and he still has it sitting in his vault.
