My AD told me last year that my 5164a should arrive first quarter in 2019 and I have confirmed it again in December. But when I asked them yesterday, they told me they have no idea when they can get it. Does anyone get any delivery this year in UK?

Well a fellow TRF member just posted he had the opportunity to buy a 5164a & a 5711 in the UK. No AD can tell you exactly when a Patek comes in as they come at any time and sometimes in batches with other watches. They use sometimes past year experiences and roughly give you an approximation depending on a model when it would come in. I would just keep asking every month or so. Make sure you speak to the same sales guy so you dont get mixed stories as other sales usually give a random line that doesn't make sense to what you were told before. Good luck though, i know the 5164a demand has gone quite a bit up in the past year for the 64a.

I have deposit on my 5164a, so the next delivery should be mine. Just confused about the time.

There should be a lot of AD deliveries around this time as all the allocations have just happened. Good luck.

Waiteu2 · 26 February 2019, 05:23 PM

Mine arrived last week after approx 4 months on the list.

Nice. A 4 month wait is pretty good.

4 months is no time at all, fantastic watch. My boss purchased a 5170p this year and they quoted 12 months for him to get a travel time even with a big opening purchase.

My AD has been given his allocation details for 2019 so you should get answer soon.

Best of luck,

Congrats

A 4 month wait is very good for a 5164A. I spoke to a small independent AD and I was told they were only getting one 5164A this year.

Waiteu2 · 27 February 2019, 05:34 AM

Thanks everyone^^^
I think it helped id bought the Calatrava first then the 5990 which i was told was a cancelled order:)Does anyone know how many allocations a typical AD would get per year.
I know theres one around this time but is there usually more through the year?

You can read allocation threads on here but a typical small-medium AD will receive usually 2-4 5711/5712 total with mixed dial combo's. 2-3 5167 and maybe 2 5164A's and 4-8 5726 as there was 3 models now only the strap is still available. These are rough numbers, great performing AD's receive many more like in HK.

For a 5164a, I was told likely early 2019 (but in any case in 2019) in the summer of 2018 by an AD in the U.K. He received his allocation last week, and told me it was now scheduled for November 2019.

Yes, I was also told early 2019 but seems that my AD still doesn't receive it. I am waiting now and afraid I will miss it. I think my AD will give me since I have already placed deposit on it.

Good news, I have just received the call and I will pick the piece next Monday.

I was hoping to get some good 5164 news but told to check back in around October

I guess it’s a waste of time trying to get on London Salon list for this reference?

Few months ago London Salon told me they have closed their lists for all stainless steel Nautilus and Aquanauts as it was getting out of control. Even you get on their list Boodles will be able to get one for you sooner than them.

Hi, everyone. I have one more question. I will do tax refund for this watch and I want to get cash. I do see that the maximum limit for cash refund is 1400. Is this true? Does anyone know this?

Mini2 · 1 March 2019, 09:33 PM

Wheres the watch coming from may i ask?

Amazing. Well done. That looks brilliant on you!

I was supposed to be next in line for the white dial but now the AD isn't getting any. Did you get yours from an AD or salon?
