Incoming!! Despite my plan failed.

Originally my plan was to get a dress watch on leather strap. Explored Patek and was on the list for nearly 3 years now for pieces like 5226G/ 5212A/ 5205r/5235r/5524r and nothing I gave up.

Just got my 126715 today. Got offered one from my AD in december last year but couldnt travel to get it(the AD is in the other city).

Bought this NOS and is very happy with it.


Current SOTC, quite happy for now my next piece probably something with white dial either skydweller or 5212A

That's a bummer about the Patek waitlist, but congratulations on getting your 126715!

Well, the rose gold color makes it ‘kinda’ dressy! Congrats! It is my favorite GMT.

OP, if you decide to put the watch on a leather strap, please circle back to this thread with some photos. I think that watch will look great on leather.

This is my favorite gmt aside from the meteorite! Love the warm tones of the bezel with RG. Is your wedding ring RG too?
