5131R - the long wait is over!
By: russell996 : February 20th, 2016-03:32
Having registered with my AD 7 years ago in early 2009 for a 5131G, yesterday the wait was finally over and I got to own and wear my first PP. A gorgeous 5131R. AD has been fabulous, kept me in the loop every 6 months or so and invited me to many PP event...
First memories

Many thanks. Poor quality first photo, but the memory of being sat in a wonderful restaurant overlooking the lake wearing the WT for the first time - I do kind of like it! Edit - I can\'t see the uploaded photo so guess I will try agin with some proper pi...
It is a long wait but I think it is worth it!

Huge congratulations, this is a fantastic piece and I'm sure you'll spend a long time admiring its dial work. The purchasing experience from Patek is from my experience and people I know the best among traditional watchmaking brands. Wear it in the best o...
That's a dream watch, WOW...and they flew you over?
By: Clueless_Collector : February 20th, 2016-08:26
meaning they pay for your air tickets? Is that normal for watch companies to pay that? I wonder op if they will fly me over from US ) Congratulations! 7 years is worth it. Rgds Raymond
Yes it is a lovely time piece.

My congratulations for you and your ad. Your patience is admirable. Cheers Geross.
Interesting question with a refreshing answer.
By: russell996 : February 20th, 2016-15:28
None. 7 years ago after the release of the 5131G I visited 2 London AD\'s from whom I had bought several high end watches (not Patek) and was told there was no chance of getting on the list - basically I was not an important enough customer and would need...
Refreshing Indeed

Pretty sure I know who this AD is and they are very good and always have interesting pieces and time for customers (or prospective customers). Congratulations.
Congratulations on your new watch!

Thank you for sharing a wonderful story of patience in maintaining a relationship with an AD for 7 years! Enjoy your new watch!

5131r dial:
By: Aussie : February 27th, 2016-16:56
Does someone on this forum know if Patek shall be changing the cities ring dial to conform to the current timezone on this reference ? Wow a 7 years wait, seems like an eternity.
Interesting question.
By: russell996 : March 1st, 2016-10:56
Having not realised quite what you were referring to and now after a quick Google search I am left slightly mystified. I am sure it is common knowledge (just not to me) that in 2011 Moscow time was changed to be permanently GMT +4 and the 5130 and 5131 ti...
Better Photo...
