AD Allocation and delivery times

[Aziz B]

Hello all,

I just wanted to check if anyone has any information regarding when should ADs expect to get allocations from PP. I've spoken to several AD's and they are expecting to get some info by the end of January. If so, when should we expect deliveries or hopefully start recieving calls from ADs .

Thank you all for your input.

I've got a 5712r coming late February as well. Pumped! But ya Jan the factory is pretty much shut down.

I think I was trying to say that as I have February delivery I know that AD's will get stock then I am unsure if PP is as structured as say ALS when each branch seems to know their allocation for the whole year and delivery dates. I never got the impression that PP AD didn't get monthly deliveries and that these were on a more infrequent basis. Wouldn't be very efficient from PP perspective. Maybe someone has concrete information on this.

I was told by an AD that shipments of new watches arrive unannounced and when Patek decided to limit production last year one of the things they addressed in a letter to all AD's was notification of new shipments.

Just found this thread by mistake looking for another.

Anyhow, regarding the purchase of my first Patek (on waitlist) at the start of the year the AD said he had met Patek regarding their 2017 allocation. Then the AD later informed me that I am on schedule for 2017 but he cannot say exactly when date wise at the moment. As long as I get sometime this year I will be happy as Larry :)
