Patek 5212

I’m becoming more and more enamored with the 5212. I think it would be a nice fit next to my 5205G-013 (and it fits with my overall view of what my collection might look like one day). I have been wondering, though - how hard is this one to get? I’m in a smaller market.

What was your purchase history? Just want to make sure I’m not making a big ridiculous ask of my AD.

I have to admit, I have a lot of Pateks.

But like I said, even for "me" it's been ridiculously hard to get anything worth while

I only have 1 and I really have zero interest in anything that is not worthwhile.

Oh well, I will put in the ask.

A lot of places will say impossible with a long wait list. I’ve been waiting about a year. Supposedly I’m getting one before the end of the year. A couple AD’s I’ve talked to said they have been getting two a year since they came out.

The 5212 is not easy, as you’ve been told. Been waiting on that one too.
