The white gold case is simply exquisite and so well made. Anyone who is interested should really try it out.

For the size, it fits a 6.6 inch wrist very well.

Thanks for posting. I agree it looks pretty nice, but there’s just no way at that price. Maybe the secondary market will affix a more reasonable price.

Saw one today and tried it on. Wears much smaller than i thought it would. Maybe an option for the wife but if I get one i would go for the 42mm after trying this on, and I don't have a very big wrist. Agree with others that the MRSP is excessive.

The MSRP maybe excessive due to its PM case. But if it helps you to be on the list for a coveted model, the value proposition is there.

Sorry didn’t take any on the wrist. I don’t have a big wrist (maybe 6.75in) but it looked tiny on me.

Looks great in person, but the strap tapers down too much. The alternative of finding a 18/16 brown strap is appealing.

Did you order from AD / Patek or sourcing elsewhere?

Looks great! I’d like to see it next to the 5524g. I’m sticking with the 42mm, as I like bigger watches.

6-1/4 to 6-1/2” wrist here....proportions of the smaller size look best on me...40mm is my max (Speedy excepted of course :) )

You would think for that money they would be fitted with a deployant clasp?

No substitute for trying it on in real life before deciding on size. I’m also a ~6 1/4 wrist, but when I tried on the 7234R it just looked too dainty/underproportioned (and I’m not a fan of oversized watches).

Ended up with a 5524G in the end!

Just got mine. On my 6” wrist.

Love the watch, love the size. I just wish the strap is a little wider. But the buckle itself is a little chunky which compensates for the narrow strap.

Looks great, however, pilot watches are supposed to be on the bigger side. My 6.75 in. wrist supports the 5524g-001 very nicely. This may be a bit too small; still beautiful though
