Patek Philippe 5212A-001 Calatrava Weekly Calendar

Key Points from the Discussion

• Another collector also placed an order for the 5212A-001 without trying it on, expressing hope it will look as good on their wrist.
• Patek Philippe is not committing to specific delivery timeframes for the 5212A-001, with Centurionone expecting a wait of up to a year.
• Some 2019 Patek Philippe models were delivered unusually early, but the 5212A-001 was not yet available at the time of discussion.
• The 5212A-001 is praised for its balance of elegance and informality, with the weekly calendar complication noted as particularly useful.
• Initially unconvinced, one collector found the 5212A-001 to be a fantastically original piece that grew on them, planning to see it in person.
• Past experiences suggest Patek Philippe often fails to meet promised delivery times, leading collectors to stop 'badgering' them and await a surprise call.
