Any update on the 5320G perpetual?

I am wondering why they have not started to ship. Hopefully not a 5235 repeat where it was a few years before they could actually deliver.

Lots of rumours....additional 324 needed for 5522 and watchmakers allocated (don't believe it). The fact that I was only told 48 hours before the agreed deliver led me to believe they thought they were still going to make the date and something went pear shaped!!! So we know 5131P & 5168G is out but no 5170P either

Perhaps they didn't pass the final quality check. I remember the 5235 was delayed a few years ago due to quality control concerns.

Hope you can get your 5320G soon, Karl

Sort of ridiculous for watches which debuted 6 months ago...

I'm told my 5320 will be here very soon! I was also only given 48 hours notice for my 5522a and 5230g NY special editions.

Fortunately I have been given quite long lead times on all my deliveries so this was a bit of a surprise.

I cant speak for USA but in UK dealer allocations are not done overnight...dealers generally have a fairly good idea on most their models.

My swag for the 5320 which seems to have arrived before the watch

And a consolation prize for the delay at full retail

Well done!

Are you going to pull it out of the coffin and wear it?

So to summarize

Pent up gain > disdain for chronos

Makes sense to me

Nice collection.

Daytona is a great piece, black face to counterpoint the 5711.

Tried on the 5320 at the Geneva salon recently. I couldn't warm up to it despite having every intention to get one based on photos. The 5170P and 5370P on the other hand..... Rawr.

Time will tell whether the 5320 is a hit or your reaction dominates the market.

It's definately an odd watch. Kind of sucks you in the more you see it and wear it...the cream of the dial is just sublime

My favorite simple QP by Patek by far! Box or not I too would be in such agony by the wait.

I love the hands and numberals combination so so much. I think that's what put it over the top for me.
