So a lot of like or dislike, who is ordering and what?

Anyone on the fence on anything?

Come on Patek community who has called their AD to get things going?

I did:

5168G - Pinged my AD first thing this morning. He called me a little while ago from Basel (think he had a little much to drink), but said he has 5 people wanting it already--but I have first right of refusal. I need to see it in person--so call me a quasi commit-will also depend on discount. Full price is a pass for me. Has 3 people who want the Shark Bite as well.

He thinks Oct/Nov on delivery, but that was just a guess. More info forthcoming hopefully.

Congrats! Welcome back to Patek!!! It's definitely the jewel of Basel and a properly numbered LE.

Don't think it's LE...

Let's see how it looks when it shows.

BUT, I think it will be ideal size wise and the blue dial is a great start for my tastes.

Marciano490 · 23 March 2017, 09:22 AM

Apologies. I conflated the two new aquanauts. The unbitten one is the nicer piece though. That blue is too sharp to be messed with.

The blue will look nice next to the Nadal.

Or whatever I have at that point

Okay who else picked up that phone today...???

jschmidtdmd · 23 March 2017, 09:27 AM

I will be adding the 5168G......not gonna go after the advanced research though.

Thats the only thing of the day I was interested in. Gonna focus on some other older pieces.

texex91 · 23 March 2017, 09:33 AM

Ok, Doc has jumped in...

Brian do we have you down for 5131P from Jamie???

GB-man · 23 March 2017, 09:37 AM

Well done! The dial looks sensational. Nothing for me at this time. Might consider adding a 5168 down the road though.

jschmidtdmd · 23 March 2017, 10:24 AM

I love the new platinum world timer but not on bracelet.

mps354 · 23 March 2017, 10:31 AM

I am on the fence with the 5320g...my AD was going to send some live pics. I wanted the 5170p badly, but I just don't think I can live with the diamonds. Might track down a 5170g with white dial instead

hutchman · 23 March 2017, 10:33 AM

I'm in for a 5320g and requested a 5131p. I'm told probably no on the 5131p because I already received a 5131g a few years ago!

Alright...now we have the ball rolling.

Nice additions and thoughts gents...

Vipes · 23 March 2017, 10:37 AM

5320g has me very interested. Anyone know the price? Good move with the Aquanaut, Paul.

texex91 · 23 March 2017, 10:40 AM

Three in potentially on 5320g...interesting.

Have a trend going on that one.

mfer · 23 March 2017, 10:41 AM

I would love it! Hope you can get it Paul.

Tay821 · 23 March 2017, 10:51 AM

Texted my AD as well for the 5168g. I'm a huge aqua fan and love blue dials. I'm the first one on the list.

We have a quorum working on several pieces now...nice

The B · 23 March 2017, 11:03 AM

When I saw the picture of the new 5372p I texted my AD straight away...they say 'rose gold' dial but I see salmon!!!

Then I got the price...the lump is still in my throat..I may have to stay the course for the 5204r.

I read somewhere ~ $83k, will let you know when I get confirmation

Hairdude1 · 23 March 2017, 11:10 AM

I too am on board for the 5186G but have to see the watch in person. Another that caught my eye is the 5170P

texex91 · 23 March 2017, 11:16 AM

Nice swag of models everyone is interested in gents--

Alright awaiting our friends from Europe & Asia to add their buys...

I think I saw 83k on IG. Thanks, Mike.

KarlS · 23 March 2017, 12:45 PM

5650 and 5131P

martinr · 23 March 2017, 12:46 PM

I'm still waiting for my 5524G Pilot from last year.

If I get a P there maybe one on chroni24 lol

DR.Golf · 23 March 2017, 02:23 PM

Paul, I am definitely adding a 5170P and looking forward to seeing a 5320G in person.

subtona · 23 March 2017, 02:37 PM

Considering 5170P but based on performance of the 5170 group not at retail

There has commonly been a ~30k discount to be had on secondary market

Sungsam8025 · 23 March 2017, 03:53 PM

5131P for this Year

texex91 · 23 March 2017, 10:26 PM

5131P has some serious takers and the 5170P fan club has arrived as well.

Gus I hear you on discount. Part of my stipulation as well...already told AD if my 'normal' consideration does not apply, keep knocking my name down the list until it does LOL.

Nice selections!

KarlS · 23 March 2017, 11:07 PM

As a side issue the 5905P now looks like a bargain!!
