I was fortunate enough to spend some time recently with fellow Purist GLau in Beijing, who wore his beautiful Patek ref. 5575 World Time Moonphase to our mini-GTG. Not having had the chance before to spend some quality time with the new reference, all I c...  

A very unique model in the collection.

As an anniversary model, we should expect an unusual watch and this 5575 is clearly different from any hing we can see in the regular catalogue. I would really like to see it one day, to completly capture these details everyone is talking about. Thanks fo... 

No question it needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate it's special qualities...

Hi Thomas, I have read many posts and seen many photos on the 5575 but you have managed to take one with the enchanting moon in multi colour, thanks to the lighting and your photographic skills! It makes the watch look even more spectacular!! Sham

Love the second picture showing the iridescent moon, looks awesome. And great to hear that you had a mini GTG with GLau, we met him not too long ago during his visit to SoCal. He's a cool guy to hang out with. Regards, ED-209

Thanks ED209 for your kind words !! You guys know...

friend... GLau! Always a pleasure to hang out with Gordon. A gentleman, a Purist and more recently... turned to the Vlad side. It\'s difficult to resist when he keeps asking you to try on his watches and look closer at them lol! You agree Gordon? :p Thank... 

Hehe

I already contacted my AD asking "do you still have the watch you reserved for me?" Waiting for the answer fingers crossed... Best, Kari

There are in fact two answers which are great:

My bank account would love "no" while I wouldn't be disappointed with "yes". Let's see... I have also understood that the Grand Exhibition will bring new versions of some old watches in all price classes. That might again influence to my bank account. Lif... 

Good luck Kari

Worst case there is a chance that your AD may have good news for you in 18 months! LOL

I start to be worried as there are now news yet.

And if I do not hear anything on Monday, I lost the watch. But saved the money. I think there was something special going on with my 5550P. The AD said to me when I picked up the watch: "Luckily we got the Certificate of Origin back from Geneva yesterday"... 

Got the answer today:

"Your watch is still here". Looks bad. I mean from the perspective of my bank account... Best, Kari

congrats...

Kari, hope to see a great post soon.... Enjoy Best Benjamin

Not very soon but soon.

I do not plan to see the AD before than in a month's time when I will pick up a Calatrava I happened to order without planning to do that. I will try 5575 on my wrist and make the final decision only then. I do not think that a limited edition is a reason... 

Thank you kindly ThomasM for....
