Incoming first Patek: 5905/1A

Extremely happy to have this as my first Patek after about 7 months wait.
The experience was flawless and was so throughout every step of the journey.
Especially love the matching olive green hat to match

Congrats on the hat! Thinking of an (I believe now banned) TRFer who picked up many grail Pateks but complained he never got a hat...

Congrats! That really suites my tastes. I’ve heard some complaints on this one but it checks a lot of boxes. Enjoy it.

Thanks everyone, I’m absolutely loving it. It wears even better than I expected/remember. Tried it on multiple times over the last several months and still was slightly hesitant about the size. However, the case design just really works now that I’ve had some real wrist time with it.

Paris. Our SA is just wonderful. It is amazing how transparency from your SA makes the whole experience so much better.

So far I’d say, give it a chance and some time.

Since the first visit our SA was clear: no Nautilus or Aquanaut as first watch, anything else goes. So my girlfriend chose the Twenty-4 and myself the 5905 to have matching olive green dials. We had separate accounts created, as with AP. Our SA said the Twenty-4 would obviously arrive sooner, and it did after 6 weeks. After that they said they would push for the 5905 but no timeline was given.

Now that we have both established purchase history, we have requested Aquanauts as our next piece. Again, no timeline was given, just that surprises often happen sooner than we might expect.

Congratulations, this 5905/1A dial is very appealing in the metal, it isn't that green but rather a grey dial in which green was added, very subtle.

They have a very nice team in Paris indeed, I've always been well received as well.

Wear it in the best of health!
