Thanks.

As I said before I wanted to get 5275p-001 for it's rarity because of limited numbers, the unique features and technology. I requested my AD back in November to get it for me. No response from them. So, I wonder when people say it all depends on my relationship with my AD. I do not know what is involved in that arena. I do not know how to please them more than what I have done.(This year I have bought 2 watches - annual and perpetual calendar) I also have heard that Patek won't consider allocating an application piece unless I have 4 to 5 complicated watches. So, I will appreciate, if any of you patek experts have any suggestion on how to build more effective relationship with my AD in order to acquire my wish list.

I feel I should have ref 5204p-011 because it is a chrono and not too big for my wrist.

Lastly, 5078r-001 a minute repeater. It is simple and classic and in rose gold. I have read that rose gold is the proper metal for minute repeater. I like 5078p which is black in platinum. However, the chimes are not the same as with 5078r

If I get a chrono or jumping hour I will be good. Getting a minute repeater will be icing on the cake. It may just turn out to be a wish list..

You will certainly have to hunt these refs on the second market, then have to pay a solid premium. Go for the normal references, they have a lot of charm and appeal, unless if excluvitiy is the only thing which excites you, then... be prepared to pay. A l...

Quite a wide selection of options ...

you have in mind. Are they all talking to you because of beauty, complication, rarity ... if I may ask. "how realistic is that" It is hard to say in general, some are (almost) impossible to get now and for others you (just) need to be patient. On the othe...

which is quite special, not to say (almost) unique. You got two very nice watches in one year and that is just great, still it is nothing that special in the world of PP. There is something I also had to learn and I am absolutely sure that I am not the on...
