Amazing! Didn’t know it could be a second watch.

Congrats - the 5712 and 5205 complement each other beautifully. Pretty incredible to get as a 2nd - I’m struggling to get it as a 5th!

Thank you. I initially wanted the 5726, but figured 2 annual calendars may be a bit pointless. Have you been offered any sports pieces from your AD? |

Yes, 5167a, allocated to me as my 4th Patek 15 months ago. My first three were two Calatravas and an annual calendar. The 5712a is now top of my wish list, and I have pined for this watch since its release (I was a poor grad student at the time). Congrats again on the 5712 - huge win, and it goes so well with that marvelous 5205 you have (huge fan of the sculpted lugs on that annual calendar).

That's fantastic news—congrats on the 5712/1A! It’s such a stunning piece with that beautiful complication. A year-long wait must make it feel even more rewarding, especially coming from a prior purchase like the 5205G. Your collection is shaping up to be truly impressive—enjoy wearing it!

I'm glad to hear someone being taken care of by an AD without games. Enjoy in good health.

Congratulations OP! It's the best steel sports watch in the world, IMO.
As an additional data point I also got a 5712/1a as a second Patek (first was 5146r), also in the UK but this was back in 2022. Might be a quirk of the local market, but if you simply went off what people say online they would believe this to be impossible. |

Good point and one which isn’t really talked about. There is a bit of nuance in how allocations work from AD to AD, even from model to model. My recollection is that many ADs get c.2 5712a per year (at least the ones I have spoken to) whereas the Salon get several times that, so I guess it’s also a case of knowing where to allocate your time and money. |

Such a great combo, one of my favorite straps on the 5205 as well. Enjoy the new watch.
