Hardest pieces to get?
Fun time, what do we think are the hardest pieces to get from Patek out of the current collection?

I'd guess 5167a is pretty hard to find. Particularly because of its entry point retail price.

Any sports watch is relatively easy to get, as each AD get allocated them so just spend money and you’ll get one. Hard to get pieces have to be at the very least application pieces from the distributor, harder still are pieces that need to be approved by geneva. Hardest pieces would be dome clocks and I would think these are most likely designed with buyers already in mind, which would require big spending over decades.

The hardest to get is the one you don't have. It is the 5321 or 5167r for me right now.

I agree some of the enamel dial or wood marquetry dial watches are rare/unique and hard to get even for big collectors. For big collectors, getting a Nautilus or Aquanaut is not that hard.
I am referring to big collectors as those who have spent 7 figures or more on Patek. |

Hardest pieces are Sky Moons and chiming Grand Complications.
You can get some Sports Models "relatively" easily if you have a spend. |
