* The 'Official' 2017 PP Basel Order Thread * -- What is Everyone Buying???
So a lot of like or dislike, who is ordering and what?
Anyone on the fence on anything? Come on Patek community who has called their AD to get things going? I did: 5168G - Pinged my AD first thing this morning. He called me a little while ago from Basel (think he had a little much to drink), but said he has 5 people wanting it already--but I have first right of refusal. I need to see it in person--so call me a quasi commit-will also depend on discount. Full price is a pass for me. Has 3 people who want the Shark Bite as well. He thinks Oct/Nov on delivery, but that was just a guess. More info forthcoming hopefully. |

Congrats! Welcome back to Patek!!! It's definitely the jewel of Basel and a properly numbered LE.

Apologies. I conflated the two new aquanauts. The unbitten one is the nicer piece though. That blue is too sharp to be messed with.
The blue will look nice next to the Nadal. |

I will be adding the 5168G......not gonna go after the advanced research though.
Thats the only thing of the day I was interested in. Gonna focus on some other older pieces.

Well done! The dial looks sensational. Nothing for me at this time. Might consider adding a 5168 down the road though.

I am on the fence with the 5320g...my AD was going to send some live pics. I wanted the 5170p badly, but I just don't think I can live with the diamonds. Might track down a 5170g with white dial instead

I'm in for a 5320g and requested a 5131p. I'm told probably no on the 5131p because I already received a 5131g a few years ago!

Texted my AD as well for the 5168g. I'm a huge aqua fan and love blue dials. I'm the first one on the list.

When I saw the picture of the new 5372p I texted my AD straight away...they say 'rose gold' dial but I see salmon!!!
Then I got the price...the lump is still in my throat..I may have to stay the course for the 5204r. |

I too am on board for the 5186G but have to see the watch in person. Another that caught my eye is the 5170P

Considering 5170P but based on performance of the 5170 group not at retail
There has commonly been a ~30k discount to be had on secondary market

5131P has some serious takers and the 5170P fan club has arrived as well.
Gus I hear you on discount. Part of my stipulation as well...already told AD if my 'normal' consideration does not apply, keep knocking my name down the list until it does LOL. Nice selections! |

As a side issue the 5905P now looks like a bargain!!
