I think I busted the record

Nothing valuable but a visit a couple of weeks ago resulted in my AD giving me some nice stuff without me even asking or prompting.

So before I reveal what I got, whats the most you have ever been gifted in a single visit and what was it?

mister_poom · 29 September 2020, 07:10 AM

Does a factory visit count?

SpaceDweller77 · 29 September 2020, 07:41 AM

I was given the opportunity by my AD to buy a 5711 after 10 months, first Patek, very little purchase history...that was enough swag for me. Oh, and a the collection book, volume V.

Nice pickup SpaceDweller but nope watches don't count as Swag. Not in this thread anyway.

SDDS · 29 September 2020, 09:10 AM

i got an umbrella, a tie, Patek pin, diary book

snarkq · 29 September 2020, 09:45 AM

i got a patek hood ornament for my bentley, a patek cigar box, and a patek stamped toilet seat. also some plastic patek sunglasses that look like raybans.

GSDLover · 29 September 2020, 10:22 AM

I got a small bottle of water, a 6 months old Patek magazine, and when I asked to use their restroom, I was directed politely to use the one at the cafe a few doors down.
They are no longer a Patek AD.

I got a receipt. A really nice one. I still have it.

PPcollector · 29 September 2020, 12:11 PM

Does the wooden box also count? What about the certificate and instruction manual. Those came with it as well...

I think the watch inside was a bonus...like a Cracker Jack box toy! My eyes lit up when I saw it carefully presented in the box

VVIP toilet seat

Ichiran · 29 September 2020, 12:36 PM

Does the whatsapp message "Your nautilus is here" counts?

ap1 · 29 September 2020, 12:39 PM

I’ve been on the waitlist for the Ed Sheeran black baseball hat forever

I can one up you. I got a receipt and a bag.

ragsk · 29 September 2020, 05:33 PM

So not a generous lot these watch ADs. I had a pretty similar experience with all brands (AP, Rolex and Patek) up until a couple of weeks ago. Almost nothing apart from the usual travel case with a watch purchase. And then I got all of these in one go:

Two ties, umbrella, baseball cap, wallet, cashmere shawl, two travel cases and a travel pouch. Totally unexpected to be honest but a nice surprise.

Nice haul, sounds like Xmas could be sorted for you already.

A group pic would be cool.

Wow. What watch did you get?

Or all these swag were not coupled with a purchase?

jon_jon · 30 September 2020, 03:14 AM

I received several OEM leather straps in different colors with one Patek purchase. Other common swags received over the years include wallets, ties, travel cases, etc.

AK797 · 30 September 2020, 04:06 AM

So still no one is beating a certain former member who got furniture and all sorts of houseware...

Now that guys must of spent a lot of $$$$

GreenLantern · 30 September 2020, 06:17 AM

I never get any swag.

That said, I do get hard to get pieces, and that's all the swag I ever need.

No purchase. Just went to see them. But I have a reasonable spend history with them.

He´s probably buried underneath a pile of PP travel cases and ashtrays.

ragsk · 21 July 2021, 04:32 AM

Just to add to this thread, I recently received the following for my 50th:

1. Baseball cap
2. Scarf
3. Scented candle
4. Mens wallet
5. Ladies wallet (? but nice)
6. Key ring
7. Tie
8. Watch strap of my design and choice + another ready made one

Just incredible. Makes me feel really good about the brand - yes i'm a cheap date! Seriously though so lovely and classy of them to do this.
