Both Husband and I are new to Patek, husband wants a 6119R
He is not a watch lover like me, but he wants this one badly. We have been to our local PP boutique 2 times in the past 6 months. We have no purchase history with PP or this boutique. We will not go to the reseller market because it is not anywhere near our scope of expertise.
I know all about the Rolex and AP game and have been an active participant and proud owner. I am just confused as to what needs to be done in this case. The SA actually told my husband he was next in line for when they get the watch. So what should we expect? Thank you. Also take it easy on me , this is actually my first thread ever.

Oh, Hi, Alex -
Welcome to the Forum! 6119 is a beautiful reference in R and G, although I'm partial to G. What a great starter reference—no doubt your hubby will enjoy it for many years. Hang tight—you'll likely get a call within the next three months or so to pick up that beautiful new 6119! Tell us what reference you are considering for your first Patek. |

From my observations, these seem to be available at ADs with little wait or discounted via grey.

Welcome to the forum! If your AD says you are next in line, then I would think you should get the watch within 6 months. Has your husband had the chance to try one on? Based on the specs I thought I would love it, but on the wrist it was awkward for me.

Welcome Alex,
The 6119 is a great model. One or two years ago, the market was on the retailers' side, the demand exceeding the offer, especially since 2020. However, last months trend shows a reversal. Hence, like mentionned above, I think it becomes totally possible to get one, without waiting too long, from AD. Keep us informed :) |

Hi Alex,
I think you will receive the call and it's usually come when you least expected. I received my first Patek Calatrava from the AD 5 months after initial visit and expressed my interest. And I had no prior history with this AD. I really believe the AD is just waiting for the piece to come in. Just a little patient and good luck. Enjoy the moment when you pick it up. |

Welcome and great choice! I'll second the suggestions in this thread for using one of the many trusted dealers already mentioned and saving considerably on this model. It's a stunning piece.
