It’s a great piece! Owned it in the past, and may reacquire at some point. If you’re expecting a very blue all the time dial, I’d suggest you see the blue dial in person before buying, it’s a very dark blue that looks black most of the time. Beautiful watch either way!

I think my problem was that I bought thinking that the watch was trading about 4K under retail. And I think I bought it at maybe 2k under retail with the AD. So I was cool with loosing 2k if I ever decided to depart with it. So when I heard for the first time that was trading for 35k. I said to myself “ you are gonna die with this watch” but also thought well at least I really love this watch. Later on, a deal came to the table where I could depart from the watch with a lost of 5-6k , which is way better than the current alternative of losing 10-12k.
But if I buy again , I would buy with no fantasies about its price retention, and getting a better discount of course. If it ever cross my path again Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is 5524G easy to obtain from UK AD? I understand is not easy in places like Asia generally. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the compliments regarding my pictures. Here are a couple more of my RG 5524R. Maybe I can help Patek sell a few more. I put it on the charcoal strap that comes with the 5520P.

The Patek Philippe 5524G Calatrava Pilot Travel Time
Tried it on at the AD and really liked it a lot! Not enough to buy, but it’s a very nice watch.
