This post offers a glimpse into the world of high-end collecting, touching upon allocation processes, market dynamics for rare pieces, and the personal choices that shape a collector's journey.

Key Points from the Discussion

The allocation of new Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts and other references is not uniform across all markets, with some regions experiencing delays in receiving new models.
The Patek Philippe 5990A is considered an 'under the radar' piece, distinguishing it from other Nautilus models like the 5990R.
The original poster anticipates receiving three more new pieces within the year, indicating a significant collecting activity.
The new /1300A with diamonds was considered but ultimately rejected by the original poster, prioritizing wearability over diamond-set versions.
The importance of wearability is emphasized, with the sentiment that watches are meant for the wrist, not just the safe.

Love this watch only Nautilus I would like to have and the R 😂

Me neither. Will get the next one that hits my AD. But that’s probably only in 2022.

But will have three more incoming pieces this year. That’s more than enough.

Thanks for a neat shot Volker, always great to see this almost classical 5990/1A! And I'm looking forward to seeing your next incoming! ;-) Enjoy.
