Incoming grail. 5726.
After almost 7 years on the list and way more purchases than my better half expected, I finally got the watch I have lusted after for such a long time. It’s everything I expected and then some. The journey to this day has, at times, been frustrating but looking back kind of wonderful. I expected to feel a little empty finally getting this piece, but I am totally full. We should all remind ourselves to be thankful for the blessings we have. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there.

Sincere congratulations.
It's a phenomenal piece, and the wait and 'hunt' mostly makes the procurement even more meaningful and enjoyable - I should know given how many years it took me to acquire each of the watches I had been pursuing. Likewise, welcome to posting here agian! C...
7 years is a LONG time to wait…
I get antsy if I have to wait 7 days for my next one 😉 Congrats on your grail!
I’m with you Aqua
I don’t think I could wait that long for a new piece. Having said that your watch is beautiful and your patience is admirable. Congratulations !!!
Congratulations!
A fantastic watch, one of the last steel Nautilus series and a truly useful complication. Wear in good health! David
Huge congratulations 👍

umm…🤔…I guess that you are
congratulating britishone in his long wait and willingness to build the relationship?
Congratulations, well earned!💪🏽
Perhaps you can share a bit of your Patek collection journey to get to this point. Regardless, this is a grail piece to be enjoyed. And, I love those hats too! Are they equally hard to get?
Hats
Actually my AD has been great for gifts. Hats, wallets, ties, bags, pens etc. it’s been easier to get that stuff than some of the watches. And it’s a good idea to share some of my journey, So I will do that in a separate post.
That’s very kind of you, thank you 🙏🏽
It helps to manage some people’s expectations, I feel.
congrats
our Hermès SA kept telling us "u never know..." so while we wait, we kept buying other "stuff" 😂
