This is very special reference indeed. Looks great on your wrist. Perhaps reconsider bidding? 😎
Hi 👋 All, going for an auction preview I saw 👀 my GRAIL !
Although I will not be bidding for it, Jonathan Siu was kind enough to let me hear and wear it ! I will be dreaming 😴 forever !🤣 What do you guys think of this enamel dial by AP (Anita Porchet and team) but without AP on the dial, unlike the 5531G? ...
I'd have to disagree, I remember this watch for the enamel and case first
But I have been hands on with like a dozen patek philippe repeaters so maybe I'm just desensitized
Hi Patekfinity, 5531G's enamel dial is
better than the R to me because G has the dial signed by AP and has a Swiss flag !
For the self proclaimed enamel addict/self on WPS, the enamel is
just as important as the MR !
Lucky you, Gordon!
Funnily, I am planning to do a post dedicated to the variants of the 5531 someday (I've started gathering information and photos, but I lack time right now). Having never seen any example in real life, it's hard for me to be sure of how I would feel in re...
I understand quattro's opinion. The design of the enamel dial is a matter of personal preference.
Two years ago, during the Tokyo Exhibition, AD told me I could order any model I wanted, and I initially considered ordering the 5531G (lake view), but the high price put me off, so I quickly gave up. I was also interested in the G, which is my favorite m...
Yes, it's just my personal preference,
there's nothing wrong with the lake views of course. And, as you say, these Swiss lakes are wonderful in real life ! Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, the New York skylight was a LE for the
Grand Exhibition in New York City in 2017 with enamel dials made by Anita Porchet and team. 5 pieces for day sceen and 5 pieces for night sceen.
Don't people who got high level approval for these MRs get banned later on for re-selling them?
Like in the case of Stallone....but...or I guess rules don't apply to these HNW people or they don't really care, lol.... Or maybe this is good marketing for the brand as they have been very proud to showcase their treasures held great value, are true tre...
Hi Clueless, I cannot understand why the owner
would sell this grail ! Perhaps due to financial distress ?
A very special moment, even if just for a moment, to have 5531, a true masterpiece on one’s wrist. You are a lucky guy!
May your dreams of it be even more vivid now. While both the R and G are at the pinnacle of watchmaking, aesthetically I prefer the G although of course would be thrilled to own either one. Sweet dreams Gordon! Best, Patekova
Happy to advocate for you any time.
I’ll start with “he definitely deserves to wear a watch like this.”
Yes... I GET to SEE it at the Patek Exhibition here in SGP. 😃
I don't have the resource or pull to make it happen. ...
