From my understanding this is a private event for those invited to attend...they will have the new 5231 and the 5520 to show attendees. Unfortunately, I was not invited...

I guess you didn’t because it hasn’t happened yet. Scheduled for tomorrow per the OP’s title.

Eh, events like this don't matter to me. The only list that matters is the one you're on to get the watch you want.

If you cared about an event like this, simply spend a few mil on the next Patek Only Watch and I assure you that you'll get invited to everything forever. :)

As a sidenote, some ADs (not all) are invited. And those ADs in turn bring their best Patek clients with them (or at least submit them for a potential invitation).

These events if invited will get you first dibs on the pieces from your AD. Most of the time after the event, Patek will ask each AD to submit a list of interest from their clients and those will be allocated accordingly. So I believe this list is on top of the regular lists in the stores...

If your not at tonight’s event...then you will wait like the rest of us.

Given Patek/AD invest money on an event for the worldtime, why restrict the number of attendees? They should be doing the exact opposite by inviting more? WT is not the best sellers...

Not true. :)

It depends on the AD. Patek holds no influence over what the AD does with their wait list.

The only influence Patek has is on application pieces, obviously because it's the AD applying on your behalf to Patek.

For Nautiluses and Aquanauts, it's really up to the AD. That said, I fully expect the AD to greatly value a client that Patek itself greatly values.

Yes...on allocated/application pieces...that is what I meant

Saw the other releases last week

5520 was there too... meh. Leaned about the movement which was cool with the watchmaker. The strap from the 5520 is not the black strap I have. Its a little less black if that makes sense
