Made it: first Patek 5168G Blue

Just got email from Switzerland that my first choice Patek is ready. Will travel this June for pick up! Look forward in partaking in these awesome conversations.

Congratulations! It is a great watch. Wears great although I don’t have a big wrist. The heft really makes a difference with the 5167a.

Congrats!

I just picked mine up a couple weeks ago and love it. The added size and heft of the PM makes the watch for me......

By the way, such a nice welcome. Have you guys heard anything about this model being discontinued? Also how many of these come out a year?

Just beautiful! By the way, I was advised to get an extra strap. How much are these normally?

Can’t say I’ve heard any discontinuation rumors, but my AD told me when I got mine a couple weeks ago that it’s likely the only one they’ll get this year and the 3rd one they’ve gotten since they were released a couple years ago.

Add a grain of salt....but appear to be pretty limited numbers.

Forget the dial, just look at that strap!

Just kidding, dial is gorgeous too, but I just bought a blue strap.

I have one as well. Haven’t got around to putting it on yet. Saving it for a rainy day when I need some joy. Maybe tomorrow for the Kentucky derby
