Has anyone ever seen one of these?
I'm very interested to see any pictures or read any opinions based on your experience

To me it looks fantastic, but alas, in this climate, no chance of getting hands on it would seem :-(

I think it looks great - but then I'm a sucker for all chrono's. I'm surprised you would have to wait too long to get one?

I do not think these will be hard to get. But I suspect Patek is limiting deliveries of new models to spark interest. I would have greatly preferred this watch with a white dial. More about business than this current crazy blue dial fad.

I have handled it (demo model) and it looks great. I like the blue dial, numerals with luminous coating, stepped lugs and the navy blue claf skin strap but not keen on the syringe hands.

ADs mentioned to me that there is a demand for this watch, especially compared to 5170 series but the demand is not as high as for 5726/1A-014, 5168G-010 or 5212A.

I don't think the wait will be too long to obtain this watch.

Agreed, its a great watch,


. And the ad was trying to sell. It to me, but can't see it keeping retail prices, so might be worth wIlaiting a year

It may sell above retail on the grey market for the first year but I also think it will be available below MSRP
