Patek Philippe

Having registered with my AD 7 years ago in early 2009 for a 5131G, yesterday the wait was finally over and I got to own and wear my first PP. A gorgeous 5131R. AD has been fabulous, kept me in the loop every 6 months or so and invited me to many PP event... 

Many thanks. Poor quality first photo, but the memory of being sat in a wonderful restaurant overlooking the lake wearing the WT for the first time - I do kind of like it! Edit - I can\'t see the uploaded photo so guess I will try agin with some proper pi...  

iconic and my Patek executive told me that it has the best color combination of G, J, and R! Here is my G saying hi! Cheers Gordon ...  

Many thanks for the kind wishes.

Huge congratulations, this is a fantastic piece and I'm sure you'll spend a long time admiring its dial work. The purchasing experience from Patek is from my experience and people I know the best among traditional watchmaking brands. Wear it in the best o... 

meaning they pay for your air tickets? Is that normal for watch companies to pay that? I wonder op if they will fly me over from US ) Congratulations! 7 years is worth it. Rgds Raymond

My congratulations for you and your ad. Your patience is admirable. Cheers Geross.

None. 7 years ago after the release of the 5131G I visited 2 London AD\'s from whom I had bought several high end watches (not Patek) and was told there was no chance of getting on the list - basically I was not an important enough customer and would need... 

Pretty sure I know who this AD is and they are very good and always have interesting pieces and time for customers (or prospective customers). Congratulations.

Thank you for sharing a wonderful story of patience in maintaining a relationship with an AD for 7 years! Enjoy your new watch!

Hi Ralph, following your posts, I am interested if you could tell me which is a good AD in the UK for Patek, my experiences so far have been less then average, glad your enjoying the 5131R , I love the world time , amazing piece , I can be mailed on esunn... 

I will get the macro lens and ring flash out for some better shots but for now some taken with point and shoot. ...  

3rd one !

adn especially the delicate transition from a color to the other. Pure beauty. Thanks for taking the time to post them Russell, we will be delighted with the following ones for sure! Cheers, Mark

Does someone on this forum know if Patek shall be changing the cities ring dial to conform to the current timezone on this reference ? Wow a 7 years wait, seems like an eternity.

Having not realised quite what you were referring to and now after a quick Google search I am left slightly mystified. I am sure it is common knowledge (just not to me) that in 2011 Moscow time was changed to be permanently GMT +4 and the 5130 and 5131 ti... 

Tripod and ring flash, managed to pic out the colours quite nicely.

What magnification is it ??

puts the case diameter of the photo at 355mm so approx. 900% enlargement.

but here it is another world. Amazing wrok from the brand's 3 artists in charge of such craftmanship. Thanks for sharing again Russell. Cheers, Mark
