Quickest way to dampen the allure. Imagine if every AD had the full line of Nautiluses in the window?

Don't see why they wouldn't be! I thought they stopped being application pieces a while back.

I spotted another 5204P and 5204R sitting in the window of a Sydney AD.

The 5980/1A was a notorious case dweller. Most ADs had one in the window and another in the case inside. 5726 and even 5712 were in cases too. My first 5711 was in the case apparently when I called the AD on the phone and asked for it.

Ive tried where the 5524G was on display... It was just reserved for someone. Not sure why they would have something reserved and then put on display. Flippin teases!

You know what.... Post the 5524G controversy (initially hated, followed by big hype - neither of which justifiable on merits), I would probably prefer the 5230R in that picture

I think 5524g is more accessible now , same as 5990. I got both of those by 2 different dealers with no relationship. But I have never ever seen it on display like the op shows.

By the way I love the watch , haven’t feel about a Patek like this one for a long time
