I know the new movement has no safe zones and the time can be adjusted forward and backwards but then so can the 324 on which it is based. |

There is a patent pending for the uncoupling clutches as well as patents for a few features in the weekly calendar mechanism." This is from the Quill and Pad review of the 5212A. Check it out but older automatic movements should not be regularly fully wound unless they are designed for both manual winding and automatic winding. Best to invest in a winding box if not regularly worn. When I bought an automatic Grand Seiko it specifically said the watch was designed to both be manually wound and automatically with no harm to the movement. |

Edit. Having read Quill&Pad review and Pateks own instructions I’m still of the opinion that you can manually wind 324, 240 etc movements. Patek seem to be saying 10 complete clockwise turns of the crown winds the watch - nothing in the instruction manual about not winding as far as I can see. |

Well, it happened, the first weekly is on chrono24. I phoned them and it was sold within a couple of hours. They are getting another one in one month, so that will be coming up for sale.
If you love the watch, and you have 80.000 euro, give them a call! I had to politely decline, way out of my league |

Arrived
Picked up my 5212A yesterday. AD said it was the only one that they are having this year and he had 8 customers wanting one!
Been looking for a weekly calendar for over 10 years (I’m in the financial industry). Came close to buying a Glashutte a few years back. Now so glad I didn’t and thought my prayers had been answered when I saw the press release of the 5212A PS The white background in the date window is far more subtle in real life (the flash photography must highlight it). |

Sorry I’m a Luddite!
I’ll have one of my kids upload a pic later today. I’m more into true craftsmanship (i.e. Patek’s) rather than technology! |

Only just joined. Didn’t release about 10 posts rule.
When I’ve thought of 7 more interesting things to post I’ll have the kids post a pic. Wound my AD up yesterday, just spent 2 hours chatting, after concluding business and last going off I expressed my desire for a 5231J. Off one waiting list, but hopefully will be put on another. |
