The difference is only in the stamp and nothing else?

You can have a Patek transferred over to any Tiffany store.

If you don’t know who Kelly is then you have a long way to go in acquiring any Tiffany Patek watches...

Thanks. That's unhelpful.

lol...Kelly Yoch is a sales associate at the Tiffany's Patek boutique in NYC. Her IG is public so she is not a secret. I am sure she regularly deals with folks walking in asking for watches that are hard to get. In fact, she jokes about it on IG.

Obviously, annoying her won't get someone any closer to a 5711 but she is a fun person to follow on social media. I look forward to stopping in next time I am in NYC.

Haha, yes, indeed. Apologies, I eventually figured out which Kelly you speak of. :)

Thanks for your reply. :)

Hahaha... I am sure Kelly would love seeing this.

I was joking. Please don’t annoy Kelly. And definitely don’t let her see this post. I need a watch in 2019.

What are the chances of getting a 5196R tiffany stamped Patek?

Then buy another one. Then ask for what you really want and hope for the best.

The history is really interesting. As it’s told in the Patek Phillip Biography, when Patek came to the US (1851 or so), he met with Charles Tiffany and came away feeling pretty disappointed. Months later he received one of the largest orders he had ever gotten, cementing in his mind the vast potential of the US, where even a “disappointing” meeting could lead to something.

The Tiffany in Houston lost its status with PP two weeks ago. Doesn’t have any cases now at all. Such a shame.

False. At least as of 3 weeks ago.

If not always then 99.9999999%. But worth it on most models.
