Interested in the 5212A-001

[1234567890!]

Title says it all - I am new to Patek (Rolex owner) but am interested in purchasing the 5212A.

Does Patek have similar "shortages" for their SS models or is it possible for me to walk into an AD and purchase this watch at MSRP?

In Rolex speak, the 5212 is about as hard to get as the Hulk I think.

That's not terrible...it makes me feel like I could get it even without prior purchasing. I was able to get a BLNR without prior purchasing. I could be wrong though...

This is a new model, in stainless steel, it will be hard to get.
Not as bad as a Nautilus I would say 2 to 3 years should be a reasonable waiting time.
Beautiful watch.

This watch has just been released, and every AD will receive 1-2 a year. Those VIPs of the AD will get it first, follow by the rest. It may take years if you have no relationship with the AD because interest seems to be high for this watch. We also don't know when this watch will be eventually discontinued.
