Incoming - March 2023

Hi watch lovers,

As always, I am excited to share a new acquisition with you - a special one on this occasion - my first Patek Philippe recently picked up from the Salons in Geneva, after a 3.5 year wait!

Congratulations! Enjoy the watch!

Do I understand it correctly, you were sold this watch as your first Patek Philippe from the Patek Salon in Geneva without prior purchase history?

Just curious, after u put your name down at the Geneva Salon, did you keep in touch by visiting the salon from time to time to check on the status?

I am still amazed that the salon really allocate their watches according to the waitlist.

I may be tempted to put my name for a 5212a. Thanks!

Once again, congratulations! Wear it in good health. In relation to getting this watch as a first watch, that's how it should to be. Well done! One doesn't come to a restaurant and attempts to order a steak just to be told "have some duck and then we'll talk..."
