Birth watch for my son and first Patek and thanks to DeeTee
For the last 5-6 years I’ve almost only purchased APs. Even spent my honeymoon in Le Brassus thanks to AP after getting wedding watches and got my first son a RG RO skeleton. Even had the papers dated on the day he was born and first wore it the day he came into the world.
For my 2nd son (3rd child) I wanted another classic birth watch but had to be one that he would see me enjoy before I passed it down to him. I’ve always wanted a Patek but as a big/muscular guy they haven’t fit me so well. When I saw the 5168G I hoped it would change that. I love watches that fly under the radar and are comfortable and I hoped the 5168g would be the one. It was perfect but couldn’t find one... Tried for many months to get if from my local ADs but they wouldn’t even put me down on a waitlist as a new Patek buyer. I have to give DeeTee credit with the whole purchase. The best thing about this watch community is the people you meet and he is among the best. So glad to have the perfect birth watch for my son who’s due in two weeks and really glad to have a trusted dealer nearby with all the hard to find pieces. |

Thanks all!
Really loving this watch. Its really everything that I hoped it would be. Good size for me, beautiful dial and so comfortable. After seeing APs pre SIHH releases I'm already looking for my next Patek. |

Must say I have my eye on a Zeitwerk and after this AP release I'm getting closer to it, will need to see mine and the ZW side by side to make a decision.
