i was hoping it would heat up like the 5522 thread.
Still waiting for the op to share what references he was able to get out of them.
A chatgpt summary of that old thread (closing in on 10 years old!):
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...highlight=5522
in a rolex forums thread, members discussed the patek philippe calatrava pilot 5522a, a limited edition of 600 stainless steel timepieces introduced exclusively in 2017 for the u.s. Market.
The watch features a 42mm stainless steel case, a matte blue dial with arabic numerals, and luminous hands.
Powered by the self-winding caliber 324 s, it offers a 45-hour power reserve.
Participants appreciated its design and exclusivity, noting its resemblance to the 5524g model.
Some highlighted its investment potential due to limited availability, while others debated its value relative to other patek philippe models.
Additionally, discussions touched upon the practice of bundling watches with jewelry purchases to secure highly sought-after models.
Some members shared experiences of being encouraged to buy jewelry or less popular watches to improve their chances of obtaining limited editions like the 5522a.
This practice elicited mixed reactions; some viewed it as a necessary strategy in a competitive market, while others felt it was an unfair sales tactic that detracted from the purchasing experience.
