First Patek incoming... and its a grail
I have a relatively good relationship with my AD having purchased a few watches for myself and jewellery for the significant other over the past 3 years.

Earlier this year I decided to move on from Rolex and expressed my interest for a Patek Phillipe 5270P as my first Patek, at the same time I made a cheeky note to my SA saying I was also keen on a Nautilus 5712 or 5726 in bracelet.

Fast forward this week, I got the call from my SA stating my Patek has arrived. I was busy at the time and simply told him I'll be in over the next few days.

This morning I went expecting a 5270P, instead he came out with a square box with a Nautilus inside. At the time I thought he was showing me someone else's watch. When I asked him where my 5270P was, he looked confused and said hes still working it, but the Patek he called me about was this...

I am still currently buzzing

Congrats on the 5712/1A! Add the 5270p and you will have a perfect 2 Patek collection.

Enjoy!
This is what the intention was…buy the “entry level” steel piece to help garner leverage to obtain the grand complication. Well done, enjoy this and hope you get the 5270P soon :)

Congrats. A small part of me would have been let down thinking I was picking up the 5270 lol a very small part as this of course makes it obvious they value your business. Enjoy it
