I love the new grayish blue color on the 5164G. I have a good relationship with my AD for other brands, but wondering in the next year or so if I can get my first Patek and likely a Calatrava, if I would have any chance of the 5164G as my second?

have a candid discussion with your AD and ask.

Looks like you are from California (competitive) so chances are slim.

If you are a one and done, grey is the way.

Impossible... 0% chance

In the other thread you are considering between two entry level calatravas... i would also say very unlikely to get the 5164G as your second piece, maybe your third/fourth depending on what you get next.

Love the new color and am hoping for a 5167G or 5968G in that color as I am not interested in 5164.

Your chances to land an Aquanaut have got to be better than they would have been 2 or 3 years ago. There are always cases where people get lucky. Maybe not in the most affluent markets but you could shop around. When I wanted a 5711 as a first new Patek several ADs in my town said no chance. But an AD 2 hours away delivered the goods just before the market went crazy. Sadly, that AD has since been discontinued.

I think the relationship with the AD would need to be at the point of view they have of you.

An analogy may help explain.
A GM fleet buyer places over 100 orders with ABC Dealer for trucks. $3.5MM in revenue.

ABC Dealer also has a Porsche franchise next door to the truck lot.

If the buyer asks for a Porsche allocation by year-end, I'd guess that buyer has some power in the play.

Question is: Does your AD see you as an important buyer? If so, maybe a good chance - especially if there are other PP ADs in your city.

As others have said, slim. You will never know if you don’t ask though. Hope it works out for you.
