5136

My watch is a rare 5136/1g. It went in for a Complete service and refinishing of bracelet which had to be sent to Geneva. So I’m fairly certain it went to henri stern agency also because the service estimate was from henri stern. But again I didn’t mail t

For me though, the bracelet gets in the way of the very sober design: just my feeling and personal taste, of course. And I'm only judging from photos: I would maybe feel differently in real life. Thanks for looking. 5136/1G-001 5136/1J-001

The Salon does not accept deposits and will not allow payment split via two credit cards but I am not too worried about the latter. If only they took a deposit from me, even a sizeable fifty percent deposit would be agreeable. To find a brand new watch th

Having more than one perpetual is not issue at all. Especially not if they happen to be manufactured by Patek. The 5940 and 5136 wears differently so suits different occasions. Good luck with your decision and look forward to reading about how it evolves!

I actually wish I can purchase the 5136G today but my golden handshake from my retirement comes in only in June hence the wait! But yes you are right Mark - I have a good friend who has three Patek chronographs and is looking for his fourth! Others have a
