Thanks everyone! Really enjoying this piece. Took a photo today in the sun. The blue gradient dial just oozes elegance.

I don't think allocation basis like you are thinking. For an existing PP customer, it's not difficult to get from what I understand. For a new client like myself trying to establish a relationship, most conversations were about me having to buy other brands or starting with a PP 24 for the wife. I'm just happy that my new AD didn't play any of those games and offered me this watch in only 2 months time to start a relationship with him.

Hey Mike, been following your AP incomings especially since they’re so similar to mine! Super happy to see that you’ve made the first step in establishing a relationship with Patek and hopefully a lot more incomings! Love the blue gradient dial and also the skeletonized lugs on this!

Also rooting for you to get the 15416CE this year!!

Thanks Jon! I'm starting to appreciate what everyone has been talking about with PP. The finishing and overall aura is just different. I plan on a long journey in collecting this brand for sure.

Yes, I'm really hoping to get my grail, 15416CE this year. My SA says she will do her best to get it done this year. I have faith in her and her manager so fingers crossed.

We also added the Ultra Thin Titanium Perpetual RO to my wishlist for this year. I was hesitant to ask at first due to it being limited to 200 pieces, but she said we won't know until we try so let's try. Won't be counting my chickens there as I don't think my profile will be strong enough, but certainly appreciate their positive attitude. :)

Just got this from my AD yesterday. Beautiful book. I guess he wants me to learn more about the brand and it's history. lol.

This AD has been great and certainly appreciate his thoughtfulness.
