I was told for my 5131R up to a year and watch arrived in 3 months! So I’d be on the lookout about 3-4 months to be arrived

5131p is a totally different animal from the g or r. I recall a certain user here at TRF who had both G/R and had many gifts from Patek and still did not get the chance to buy a 5131p. So to the OP congratulations to being invited to the exclusive club.

Fantastic news!! Advance congratulations

It was having the G & R that actually disqualified Brian from getting the P - Rhone policy.

Congrats to OP.

Well to be fair, Rhone have decided that so many extremely good clients haven’t had the chance to get a J/G/R that all P’s will only go these customers. So I won’t be getting mine.

[codecow]

I'd say you're lucky. That will be quite an incoming!

I know nothing but read a thread from a guy on puristpro who has all four and claims all four from the same AD.

To the OP: congrats!! 2019 is just around the corner. What other watches do you own or did you buy? Just curious what “ it takes.” Thanks

Congrats!! Usually the dates are conservative so you might even get lucky before then!

Think there will always be exceptions...but I can certainly verify Russell's story

Yes for sure, there are many with J/G/R that will get a P, this is a UK only policy - Brian was a UK customer.

As I see there are three different PP policy maker;
HSWA for the US of A
Rhone for UK
PP Geneve for the rest of the world

Correct. The UK is much stricter in all aspects whether it be allocation, holding papers, transport boxes etc. I doubt you will see too many pieces at greys from the UK.....

Congratulations. I will wait for the incoming pictures.

Great collection! Did you buy those from this AD? Sorry for all the questions.

I guess timing will also be determined by when it's the AD's turn to get an allocation. Not too sure how it will work in Spain but certainly in UK they try spread it out a bit.

[The B]

Huge congratulations. I have asked for it as well, I do not have confirmation I will get one. I think the all Platinum with the enamel is just amazing.

My take on allocation is: It's a tough spot for the AD's, they need to reward those that have bought and been loyal and also spread the love around to satisfy other clients.

[zerocool]

Funny thing is each Patek AD is different from another, so getting ahead on waiting lists depends on a lot of factors, established purchases, perceived future potential, PP allotment, etc.

5131s in the US are incredibly difficult to obtain in the US because of demand in the States and established client lists at each AD.

I do know that they are protecting these pieces from the grey market more now than ever. PP is making a big push so that ADs don't deliver watches Sealed or Double Sealed any longer; they have instructions to open the watch in front of the clients... We'll see how that plays out. Rolex kind of did the same for Daytonas 116500 instructing them to take all plastics off yet we see many in the grey without plastics so who knows...

[GB-man]

Congratulations in advance! That’s as good as news gets for a wis

[levelero]

Thank you!! hope you are lucky too ;)

[levelero]

thank you :)

[levelero]

Its my pleasure! Not, from this AD i got just the 5980 and the 5712.

OP, congratulations in advance! That is quite the piece!

Just a data point, when I picked up my Aquanaut from my AD this week the watch was unsealed in front of me and the infamous brown shipping box was destroyed (ripped up) right there. My AD mentioned that they are under strict orders now from Patek to unseal watches when sold and destroy the shipping boxes immediately.

All the points which mission is fight against speculation in grey market are welcome for me, even if as purists, would love to keep these bonuses like the brown transport box
