Congratulations! I too received my first Patek last week and it’s such a great experience. I’m actually going to try this one on for size this week. Enjoy!

Thanks all! I'm going to order a PP navy strap as well to have some variety. It appears pretty easy to change them out quickly.

Congrats! It's a great first Patek.
Did your AD mention if you can expect a Nautilus as your next piece?

Well if you are able to get it from Patek I’ll be happily surprised, I don’t think you can. I ordred mine (for my 5524r) from Jean Rousseau. They fabricate the straps for Patek , the only difference is that it won’t say Patek on the inner side of the strap.

Thanks! My AD says no problem getting it from PP, but takes about 6 weeks. They got me this piece a lot sooner than I expected, so I'm going to give them the business.

I do like the Jean Rousseau straps though and am planning on stopping by their place in NYC when we visit this fall. I've got a Lange that might look more unique with a cool JR strap.

That would be great so I don’t have to order overseas, can you let me know here or PM me that your order has been accepted by Patek , because as soon as you order is accepted I’ll put my order too . I am still sceptical , I believe your AD believes that they can get it. They think is not a big deal , why should of ? Right ? , but I know Patek stop making them back when I got the watch , maybe they started to produce it again, idk 🤷🏻*♂️, keep me posted
Thanks

Same here. AD had no issues ordering a strap for my 7234G.

OP - new watch looks great - congrats!!!
