First Patek - 5226G Available from AD?
I have a very nice Rolex collection and want to add a Patek. I love the 5226G and am needing some advise please:
-Is this readily available from Patek AD? (My Rolex AD doesn't sell Patek) -If not, expected wait time? -Is gray an option for this reference (ie how much are super clones are an issue with Calatrva)? -Do they come available here often? They seem to be below retail on gray. Thanks in advance! |

Think that the 5226G might not be instantly available but a short wait should secure it (e.g. within a few weeks/1-2 months?)
Model is however trading below retail on the grey market - like around 20% off retail basically |

From trusted/reputable dealers it looks like it’s trading right around retail. To the OP, you will unlikely find this readily available at AD- there will most likely be a wait , could be a long one depending on your relationship. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I'll answer one question you didn't ask: -Is this really a good idea to have a case construction in which the lugs are an integral part of the case back? Answer: No...Audemars is learning that with their 11.59 by having fiddled around with its lugs. Patek did their fiddling to enable a guilloched motif to continue around the entire midcase. Stylish of course but weaker at the moment of torsional stress when the strap catches on something. Over time I think this will prove to be a troubled design. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
