Any updates on delivery of this model. None on Chronos24, so I guess still not being shipped.

Sam Philip · 26 July 2019, 01:10 AM

I was told mine would arrive on August (not sure early or late August). A TRF member posted his 5212A was on its way, I have seen couple on IG so deliveries have started.

tchaic · 26 July 2019, 01:46 AM

Was told early July. Currently “any day.” Remain hopeful!

francoamerican · 26 July 2019, 09:16 AM

I’m excited to see one that isn’t set at Wed August 18 at 10:09

Would definitely love to see more photos of the watch

I am in awe. This looks amazing. My AD say that it’s going to be impossible to get this year. Hope you get yours soon

The picture on the Camille Fournet box?

The blue strap from the 5172G will fit if Patek will sell you one?

Geneva Salon will sell 5172G strap with no questions asked - I bought mine 4 weeks ago.

Do remember that the 5172 strap has a deployant while the 5212 has a pin buckle.

When I told them specifically that it was for my 5212, the very nice sales associate brought out both to make sure it fits.

My AD was unfortunately unable to order one via Rhone so I went the CF route.

It's a lovely watch the salon in London had the demo models back this week, so tried that on along with the 5172g, and salon changed the straps over and wow, totally different look

So shouldn't see it being a problem to order the strap

Well it is.

If my AD had supplied a 5172G already then no problem they can order a strap (for that client

) but as they haven't they currently can't.

Love the blue strap!

Any hints on if its availability will be Calatrava-style or Nautilus-style? :)

I think initially availability would be Nautilus - style, at least for the first couple of years. Then it is more likely to be Calatrava - style.

5235G, 5960A and 5524G were hard to obtain and commanded in premium in the secondary market when they were first released.

I agree, but the caveat is this is steel. And everyone wants steel!

This is a cool watch nonetheless.

I agree every one wants steel. Steel and platinum are my favourite metals. However not all Patek steel models are sought after, 5960A is still available at ADs, Neptune and Sculpture can bought for a very reasonable price.

Good point, although the 5960/1a bracelet is pretty polarizing as is the overall design (watch and bracelet) of the Neptune and Sculpture.

np2016 · 1 August 2019, 04:54 AM

My AD told me the 5212 is already getting the Nautilus&Aquanaut stainless steel demand so will be extremely difficult to obtain. They have already got multiple calls and will only get 1 for the year.

Good work, Patek. Continue making watches no one can buy, and instead people will go and buy other brands.

TS said something to the effect that most people who wanted this watch would not be able to get it.

Well he said the opposite about the 5522 and was way the hell off so at least he is telling the truth.

What's the point then? I mean, honestly, there's enough Pateks most people cannot get.

You can walk into any AD and buy a lot of pieces, if no one wanted it then it would be easy to get. With a self imposed limit on SS models they could always cut Nautilus and Aquanaut production.

GreenLantern · 1 August 2019, 06:07 AM

Eh, I don't understand the appeal of steel, to be honest.

Especially when it's costing more than precious metals these days (particularly on the Rolex side).

Now, if you told me Patek was making a regular production titanium model, then I'd be interested. Steel is overdone!
