Curious,

What is the longest you’ve ever waited for a specific time piece?

Recently I acquired about getting my first patek. Hoping to see it around winter time. At the same time I asked to be put in his list for a 5712. Told me 2 years. Which is fine.

Just wondering what is the longest you’ve ever waited ?

Thanks James

Snow-Dweller · 25 May 2019, 03:54 AM

3.5 years for my 5711 blue

ap1 · 25 May 2019, 04:40 AM

1.5 and counting, wondering what 6/1 brings given the increase

Russell996 · 25 May 2019, 04:48 AM

8 years

kneedeep · 25 May 2019, 04:50 AM

Last year Basel announcements to early July. Was real lucky.

Dayhvac · 25 May 2019, 05:09 AM

Wow. 8 years. That’s a long time. What watch ?

Rsdecker971 · 25 May 2019, 05:17 AM

I waited years to develop a strong enough relationship with my AD to have the privilege to wait on the 5131 list for more years. Still waiting. I may turn pro - Will get the call and pass just so I can wait some more.

watchbowl · 25 May 2019, 05:52 AM

5 months and counting

CamSLC · 25 May 2019, 05:58 AM

I've been pretty lucky. Longest wait was 8 months for an explorer 1.

What are the chances that this watch is still in production when your number comes up?

My thoughts exactly. By the time peoples time will come (for a lack of better words) Patek's line up may change. At that point do you just go and try to get yourself on the next Patek wait list and hope you get it before that line is refreshed?

Fat_ninja · 25 May 2019, 07:36 AM

Little over 1 year

cup8 · 25 May 2019, 08:49 AM

2 years and some months

5Zigen · 25 May 2019, 10:22 AM

About 9 months for the 5990

Fat_ninja · 25 May 2019, 11:31 AM

I feel like this is the right time to leave this here...

Erod24 · 25 May 2019, 12:04 PM

4-5 years

Patekaddict · 25 May 2019, 12:15 PM

Longest wait for me was when I applied for a application piece for my 5102G total wait from the time of applying to actually getting the watch was about 9 months.... Approval was fairly quick taken into consideration that this was a while ago and times were different and dealers had nautilus and aquanauts in the showcases laying around up for grabs at discounts........

By the way one of my favorite Pateks I own and maybe top 3 in my collection

I was wondering when you would start taking out the big guns...

Nice bro

Patekaddict · 25 May 2019, 12:33 PM

You know I don't like taking the big boys out.... Ohhhh and the 5740G wait was from Basel release to March 2019 so makes it about 1 year ..... Even though you can't really call it a wait since first one my dealer actually received

I’ve never waited more than 6-8 months. If the watch doesn’t show I buy secondary or move on. I don’t have the patience to wait years for a watch.

ts3 · 25 May 2019, 01:07 PM

Little more than 2.5 years on 5711 blue

Rushne · 25 May 2019, 03:53 PM

11 months.
After being told it would take 12 months :p

Russell996 · 25 May 2019, 05:31 PM

Seems like I win guys, or is that lose. 😄😄

Passionata · 25 May 2019, 05:50 PM

2.5yrs but never a sweeter reward

rudestew · 25 May 2019, 06:32 PM

I still want to hold your wrist...so annoyed they changed the case on the new world time.

jrs146 · 25 May 2019, 09:57 PM

I guess I’ve been waiting a while for a 5711 blue. But I’ve gotten a handful of other cool watches along the way so it doesn’t really seem like a wait.
