I just love the fact they have engineered it with the stop second function which not all regulators have as far as I am aware. This means you can set it almost to the second. I will be interested to see how accurate it is over time.

OMG!!!!!! Major Congratulations Roger!!! Makes absolutely no sense to post my incoming thread! An absolute instant classic!

I vividly recall seeing the 5235 on Thierry Sterns wrist when I met him at Basel this year.

Wear that Matisse in good health!

Wow!

Toony · 16 November 2013, 12:14 PM

Huge congrats on a very special piece. In response to your question / statement about other regulators with stop second function, I offer the Richard Lange Tourbillion PLM. It has a hacking Tourbillion.

Thanks Ken, indeed that's right. I think a couple of the IWC models also have the stop second function. I think it's a really nice touch.

ps I wish you'd stop mentioning ALS, it feels like an itch that needs to be scratched.

Hairdude1 · 16 November 2013, 01:44 PM

Congratulations, it's a beautiful watch.

perpetualman88 · 16 November 2013, 06:56 PM

Huge congrats I have to say this is at the top of my list for next watches. Pics are stunning. Best patek release in a long time.

Wear it in the best of health

Oryx · 16 November 2013, 07:08 PM

Amazing - this will be a true classic. A huge congrats to you - I do think that some of your other awesome collection may see vastly reduced wrist time as a result. I'm sure you will catch yourself passing admiring glances at it all weekend. Congrats again - think you must have been within the first 10 people to receive one. Time to add you AD to your Christmas card list!

Thanks for this, you may just be right!

I just took my AD an enormous display of orchid plants, which was very well received! Let's hope that accelerates the second incoming I have........
