LOL, well France is not Japan and does not have a declining birth rate so the next generations will still be there 🤣😂 [nt]

Patek Philippe 5167
It’s always special or weird to me to post in this forum since I don’t own a Patek Philippe. I’ve been around this watch for years, always think it’s not the good time. My first meet with it was with a business partner whom I mostly get in touch via phone...
Well i wish you a good luck that you are soon going to get it!
I fits your wrist perfect, thats for sure.
As you told you in Paris, you are a 1st time buyer at Patek and especially at the Paris boutique which is the ONLY one in all of France so imagine the demand they get...
I don't even want to imagine the trouble it would be to serve an ENTIRE nation with just 1 boutique which always puzzles me since the surrounding EU countries have multiple locations and are less populated 🤷♂️🤦♂️ Don't know what else to tell you besides...
+1, exactly Justin, as we've probably said an infinite number of times on this forum ;-)
What I realistically hope will change as far as France goes, is having one or two other Patek ADs, especially now that Wempe Paris is out of the scene... This is obviously not the right time, but after the world reopens, I wouldn't mind to e.g. have one A...
The thing is I don’t live in Paris. I live in a French oversea Department.
I’m quite loyal to my Rolex AD which serves me very well ( Daytona, GMT Jubiilee, Hulk for a friend) Why do I want a watch multiple guys want? I don’t know the watch seems just perfect for me on “rubber”. I live in a very high humidity rate. I just want a...
I understand you want this specific piece, and again, there's nothing wrong with expressing an interest with Patek. In fact it's what we all do in one form or another for certain references.
But you've repeated in several Patek threads now that you're not OK with waiting without a timeline, and you seem genuinely bothered by that. So at some point I just hope you'll accept the reality, first and foremost for your happiness sake. As Justin and...
I’m not taking that too seriously in fact I’m surprised you think I’m bothered by that fact
I have many other hobbies and things I collect. I have just received a painting I was expecting for months so it was just a little follow up of my experience with Patek. I don’t have any problem that big collectors get allocations before me. I do have bus...
Ok I get it, let me clarify my thoughts ( English isn’t my first language nor even my second )
From a business prospective because it’s the matter and I’m good with that. Since the game is now to be on waiting list ( I assume it, and maybe I’m wrong ). I mean you can’t just walk in and buy one available. Maybe they just could tell you can have one ...
No they cannot tell you: first because they have no clue (even if they are a Patek salon!) how many 5167 they will receive next year or the following ones.
Second, because with the only exception of 4 to 5 people in the entire world (one of them being the head of the *Geneva* Salon, not Paris), nobody knows which references will be in the catalog even in 6 months from now! For instance, this is the time of t...
No idea why Patek has ONLY 1 point of sale (Place Vendôme) in France 🤷♂️. Makes zero senses to me or others as well...
Has to be something with Patek and France which I clearly do not understand as Italy, Spain, etc...have multiple points of sale (ADs, boutiques, etc...) 🤷♂️🤦♂️ Maybe Fab can enlighten us as I unfortunately have no clue to the reason why 🤔 ...
My dear friend, I can easily understand as I am also fan of the Aquanaut...
I cross fingers you can get it one day… "On n'est jamais à l'abri d'une bonne surprise" is a good motto, always keep hoping I'm sure you will get it one day my friend, cross fingers 🤞🤞 Best, Mike
