Congrats! That is my wife's favorite piece in the entire catalogue.

How long was the wait?

Great piece! Is that the 5268? I thought it was discontinued in white. Is it a 2022?

My wife just got a 5269 because I assumed the 5268 was no longer made.

Congrats to her. I bought that for my wife in Dec 21 - not her only watch or her only Patek but pretty much always on her wrist. Wears really well and I'm surprised that my wife's still looks as good as new. Actually one of my overall favorites.

Interesting - I didn't realize they discontinued it and now most are 5269 in quartz, and the white one with no date. My wife frankly didn't care but I wanted a self-winding movement at that price. Also no date window. Neither would have show stoppers for us but curious why they made that change.

My wife got the 5269 this month (after waiting about 6 weeks) and we were told they no longer offer a white / rose gold / automatic combo.

So originally we were going for the travel time white with RG.

My AD said that he had an automatic and that it was still technically in the catalogue. It’s a 2023. I had the choice between the 5269 and the 5268 so I decided the date and clear case back won over the other piece.

Thank for clarifying. I love the date and automatic movement. Glad you got a 2023 in this configuration. Beautiful piece!

My wife has the 5268/200R-001. Which is the one your wife just received. She absolutely loves it. The 5269 is the Quartz model. There is a current 5268/200R-010 which is identical except with taupe dial and strap. My wife much prefers the white dial/strap. Congrats on getting on of the last -001s. I am sure she will enjoy it for a long time
