New release 5268 incoming

Wow is all I can say. I have a few Pateks on my interest list. By the way, none for my wife. At an AD picking up a GMT Meteorite. One of my grail Rolex’s.
The owner is there and says “I have something I think you will be interested in” to my wife. Now, believe it or not, she turned down the last Aquanaut offered to her. He says he received a shipment this morning and has a piece that no one has expressed interest in.
He brings it out and my wife falls in love with it. What a piece.
The pictures are terrible. Sorry.

Is that a butcher's coat? Kind of an interesting look.

Wow...no-one interested in a 5268?

Maybe they've all given up on getting one before it even hit the wild?

Congratulations!

They brought out one of their watchmakers from the back to size the band. I guess that’s what he wears daily.
