Thank you Roger. Some Patek gifts are very nice to collect besides watch.

I enjoy the gifts from my AD. I always take out my watches and gifts to play around when I have a free time.

Do they give cuff links as a gift ever? I think Patek cuff links are the best there are.

Good Question. I never ask for it. I have no idea.

I do love this diamond buckle. Unfortunately, It is expensive, not for gift.

I can order 5088P cuff links. Again it is for sale, not gift.

I adore that 5160r. Do you have any close up pictures? Also I am curious. How often and for what occasions do you wear the celestial? Dream collection. Thank you for sharing.

There are many chances that I will wear 6104. For example, Visiting Salon, Patek exhibition, Party with other collectors, visiting luxury stores, hot summer season, good mood and so on.

The picture is 5160J. I have 5160R and J, but I prefer J version.

That's a solid AD. Very impressed. Love the watch briefcase. With my measely Patek purchases I haven't received much schwag at all.. except for the all expense paid 5 night Patek Geneva Experience at the Mandarin Oriental. Over the years my purchases (5078P, 5204P, 5370P, 5270 (2), 5131J, 5140 (2), 5940 (2), 5146 (2), 5960P, 5711 (2), 5712, 5227R, 5164, 5167 and many others I can't remember off the top of my head). Guess I need to call Boodles! Keep the schwag pics coming!

I agree, they are beautifully made and my favourites. They might give you the SS promo ones as a gift but think the PM ones would be only for their very select clients... like someone who has a 5160 r and j.

Look at your purchase history. You may have to change your AD. I am quite sure you will love Jamie. I real like him a lot.

Jamie will offer you a gift even you are a first time buyer. All my friends like him. I have too many gifts from Jamie.

I prefer to keep my gifts as a good memory for me. I can ask Jamie to offer you a gift if you buy from him next time. I am not trying to do any Promotion, but Jamie is a nice person to deal with for Patek watch.

I appreciate you sharing the gifts you have received, as well as your incredible collection, as it helps me appreciate why I may not receive similar gifts based on a more modest purchase history. LOL. I'm just happy that HSWA provided me a simple travel case when I stopped in to buy a strap.

Those three amazing Pateks you shared in the pictures, as well as the additional 5160, sums up to a very pretty penny. It is good business sense of the AD to provide these gifts to you, as you have the resources to make these special purchases, and more importantly, you are someone who appreciates these as special acquisitions. Win-win.

I hope you wear them all frequently, as it's not common to see these out in public and they are a treat to the eye.

Thank you for your kind word. I had very bad purchase experiences in Taipei for many years. Then I try to look for a new AD in Europe about 8 year ago. I think I am very lucky to know Jamie. He brings happy to me. Unlike someone criticizes me that I hate Patek. As you can see. I am not just like special watches. Also, I enjoy all gifts from my AD. Sometimes, I am uphappy because Patek service department does not do the thing right quite often. I like Patek. Therefore I hope Patek will improve his quality control and mainteance service. Make his loyal customers happier.

Great pieces and thanks for sharing

I did hear (believe it was a hodinkee article) that probably the best free gift an AD can give is to fly the customer to an all-expenses trip to pick up the watch personally in Switzerland. Has anyone experienced this?

Wow. There are some scary pieces in there.

Your AD should throw in a 'cheaper' PP for your SO at the very least!

I have a different opinion. I don't like to fly a long hours to pick up my watch even My AD pays the cost. Prefer mailing a watch and gifts to me at my home address. Therefore, I don't have to spend any time for travelling and VAT refund. Unless it is a special event like 175 anniversary event. Sometimes my AD will visit me in HK to have a meeting.

Anyway, people always have different ideas. Have a nice watch and special gift is the most important thing to me.

Ther are few new hi end watches each year. I do not worry about the watch. I think I have to worry about my pocket as you know PP is famous for his price.

I went on the annual Patek Geneva trip hosted by my AD that particular year. All expense paid 4 night trip to the Patek Headquarters, Manufacturers, Museum, Salon, Service Center, Workshops, Vaults etc. Multiple lunches and dinners with Philippe and Thierry Stern. You name it, we did it. We stayed at the Mandarin Oriental overlooking Lake Geneva. Direct business class flights both ways, Maybach car service, all meals, drinks, cigars, nights out etc. for the entire trip completely taken care of by my AD and Patek. Experience of a lifetime.

It is very nice to have this kind of service. It is better than I had. Envy you. Now, I don’t want gifts.

However, I got allocated my 5131G when I visited the factory. Now , I am waiting for my 5131R delivery. Very excited.
