Does anyone have a minty example and looking to sell?

benlee · 1 February 2017, 11:50 PM

I think you can buy one from Patek directly.

Check on eBay. I bought a copy from a wholesaler. And even though they had plenty of complaints, the copy I got was absolutely pristine, with the cardboard cover, thin paper wrap over the book etc. I paid 50% of MSRP.

RussW · 2 February 2017, 02:32 AM

The Foulkes book is at a good discount on wordery. I foolishly paid full price

The Foulkes book is excellent in providing the history of Patek and some major developments over the years.

John Reardon of Christie's, who worked for Patek NYC for over a decade, shares some of his recommendation on the following page:

Has anyone purchased anything from them?

I was looking at getting off Ebay, for about £150.00 but their's are even cheaper.

I've ordered a few golf books from Wordery. Never had any problems.

skippy1416 · 2 February 2017, 11:46 AM

Thanks for the thread. I just ordered from Wordery - great price and free worldwide shipping.

KarlS · 2 February 2017, 02:26 PM

Just ordered myself as I doubt my AD is going to give me one!!

.db · 2 February 2017, 03:35 PM

Same here. Let's see how it goes.

topcat30093 · 2 February 2017, 06:20 PM

I was thinking having seen the further posts after my question that they wouldn't have any left! So I have managed to secure a new one that was slightly cheaper from Amazon

Wordery just cancelled my order said they made a Mistake....

.db · 4 February 2017, 01:30 AM

^^ Same here.

"We are sorry to inform you that the item detailed below was incorrectly advertised when you placed your order and we are unable to ship this item to your delivery country."

Hopefully those in the UK still get theirs.

And now the USD price is 181.37 (was 132.30 before). Webpage still says available for delivery in United States.

KarlS · 4 February 2017, 01:40 AM

Mine was delivered to my UK address this morning. Pity I won't be there for a month!

ju5t1nb · 4 February 2017, 04:59 AM

Haha mine was cancelled too

RussW · 4 February 2017, 09:39 AM

This is a disaster! Hopefully yours is OK Karl, otherwise it was pointless me posting the link!!

watch-guy.com · 4 February 2017, 11:30 AM

I ordered one here let's see if it materialises

pp5575 · 4 February 2017, 01:34 PM

Surprise gift!

I don't ask for the book, but I just receive the book today from Boodles. Free of charge. I don't even know AD send me the book.

very nice AD.

soundserious · 4 February 2017, 03:29 PM

I have the 3 volume set. Massive is a good word to describe it. Nice pics though.

skippy1416 · 4 February 2017, 10:51 PM

Wordery cancelled my order as well. They claim that they don't ship this item to Canada. Disappointing.

.db · 5 February 2017, 02:00 AM

I wonder if they'll ship it now at their updated $190 price.

unknown · 5 February 2017, 06:13 AM

I ordered it about 3 hrs ago..... I didn't receive a mail that it was cancelled yet

I'll let you know if this changes

If the price went upwards in usd somebody should order it again
If they don't cancel it when you pay the higher price ..... well, it would be disgusting

unknown · 5 February 2017, 06:37 AM

The patek museum book is very good too
But at 660chf pretty expensive

Almost 1000 pages wchich makes the price a bit less crazy

But still a good suggestion

watch-guy.com · 9 February 2017, 01:35 PM

Mine just arrived un mint condition from wordery!

Mine arrived last Thursday C/O Amazon.co.uk from Browns - Books cost was £98.47 + £2.80 P&P. It was fully sealed and very well packaged.

But the link below have one copy going for £89.99 + £2.80 P&P

skippy1416 · 16 February 2017, 01:41 AM

Wordery accepted my reorder and it arrived last night. Perfect condition. My cost was £112.80 including free shipping to Canada. I was not charged taxes/duty. Any other source in Canada was significantly more expensive.

.db · 9 March 2017, 02:20 PM

I ended up ordering from amazon.co.uk — £120 after postage to the US.

Amazon never seems to pack books well (and this was no exception), but I felt pretty comfortable after I saw the packing box the book comes in. It arrived in perfect shape.
