FINALLY! My incoming
Been eyeing this piece since it was announced. Grey premium was very minimal at the time. AD in PA wrote me off completely for this piece or any men nautilus pre-covid (low six-figure spend). Thankfully I didn’t buy any duds. This is why you only buy what you like. Voted with my wallet and stopped spending with them.
Tedious does not describe how much work it was to find a good AD just so I can spend my darn money. Patek trying to axe ADs left and right didn’t make it any easier to pick. Would be awful to get started with new AD just for them to lose Patek. Finally settled on a new AD last year and they’ve been nothing but an absolute pleasure to with. We talked about my current collections and my collecting goals. I always go in skeptical to tempered expectations but man, did they really pulled through for me. No real timeline was given but SA did say she'll try really hard for me. Was really afraid of PP discontinuing this piece this year too. My 4 year old son was the first to wear it. Little moments lol. Without further ado, my first nautilus…. |

Sometimes it takes long but it's worth keeping things cool for a more clever achievement. Congratulations, you've been rewarded for your discipline.
That 5740 is gorgeous! |

Not sure what is more impressive. The watch, the jacket, sitting in the back being chauffeured or buying at retail from an AD. I'll go with all of the above.
Congratulations! |

First of all, huge congratulations!
I was told there is no way I can get an offer for the Aquanaunt nor Nautilus as my first PP. So I went gray and purchased my Aquanaunt.
