Wow. This is the second time I hear about someone being allocated a 16202 50TH anniversary as a first piece, without purchase history. Big big congratulations and please do share the story behind it

Congratulations mate.

mykii · 3 October 2022, 05:35 AM

How on earth do you get a Jumbo, in 2022, as a first piece? Genuinely want to know. VIP??

metzgergt1 · 3 October 2022, 05:53 AM

Congratulations!

Crazywis · 3 October 2022, 06:08 AM

Thank you everyone.

Like many folks here, I had been wanting the Jumbo since time immemorial. I seriously started discussing the possibility with my SA sometime back in ~2018. I got offered a few other pieces along the way which I politely turned down. There were a couple of other references that I did express interest in too but was clearly told by my SA that those weren't going to be a possibility and I never brought those up again. The Jumbo never fell in this category though. And all along, I felt I was always treated like a VIP.

When I expressed continued interest in the new Jumbo this year, I had no idea I'd actually be allocated one and I don't think my SA expected it either. When I got the call I was stunned and TBH, when delivering the watch my SA seemed more excited and happy than me. The delivery was easily the best I have ever experienced (take note PP).

grahammackay86 · 3 October 2022, 06:25 AM

Wow, quite the first incoming! Congratulations.

JRell · 3 October 2022, 06:56 AM

Congrats there must be an estate sale on APs! Not going to lie can’t stand the AP. Looks like nuts and bolts with old kitchen tile for a dial. But I know they are an investment and well finished.

Pw92676 · 3 October 2022, 09:53 AM

Marvelous!!!

7sins · 3 October 2022, 11:52 AM

mazai · 3 October 2022, 01:42 PM

Absolutely stunning! congrats! :)

Seddyspaghetti · 3 October 2022, 02:08 PM

A miracle indeed. Congrats.

rtanjaya · 3 October 2022, 05:32 PM

Wow.. amazing congrats to OP.

I wonder how do they decide if the person is worthy of a jumbo as his first watch, nevertheless i am pretty sure i've not heard someone got a nautilus as the first watch, before barring any connections through friends and relatives

Mini2 · 3 October 2022, 06:00 PM

Knock it out of the park

Crazywis · 3 October 2022, 06:07 PM

Well, now you have. My first Patek....

Congratulations, that's a hell of a first AP! And probably not your last one, your SA did you well.

You made this post 5 times in a row yesterday across 5 different threads... why hang out in the AP subfourm in you don't like AP...?

Reign · 4 October 2022, 01:18 PM

This is the kind of stuff that AP is able to pull off and others can’t.

Congrats on a great piece!
