Thanks for the compliments.

A new piece, well...

Surely an unachievable dream for many ...wear it in best of health my friend !

I agree it really is the pinnacle for a Patek. Cheers & congrats. Geross.

Taking everything into account, 5370P is #1 in my books. Major congrats! Best Kari

I figured you would enjoy this one, it is everything you like.

but I will pick it up only next year. Best, Kari

What a way to celebrate your 1k! I wish I could get an email from Patek too. cheers fernando

.....to me, this watch is at the top.

to getting this holy grail and to enter the 1K club Really cool piece with the black dail. It appears to be also Patek's first smart watch, capable of sending Emails CC

Who can live without that these days???

May I ask you what is hidden on the right part of the 3d photo, in the box? Enjoy and wear it in good health. Thanks for sharing your photos. Best, Patrickh

But, that will not see the light of day, the mechanism is amazing and I can stare at it for hours...

and also when activating the split second. You are very Lucky. Enjoy.

Absolute killer piece. It's my grail too. Congratulations!

It looks fantastic. Enjoy it. Vte

A fantastic Watch and the 1K post! Best Blomman

What can I say? Very very difficult to find a more stunning, more sophisticated watch than this beauty! Thanks for showing, enjoy it also a little bit for us... ;-)

A beautiful watch, beautiful executed email dial and most interesting complication (chrono rattrapante) A truly grailwatch for many purists I believe

The depth of black actually makes it real difficult to take a good photograph.

That's true love

hehhe

Congratulations on such an acquisition! May I request a picture of that solid caseback that came in the box? Thanks! Regards, skyeriding

I am a complete idiot when it comes to photography, but I have a few friends who can help.

Very warm congrats!! Held this watch in hands in June in Geneva visiting PP. As well: my favorite in PPs collection. Understatement at it's best. Movement is outstanding and the dial is a dream!! Well done!

Congrats on this grail piece ! This is Patek !

Now that is what I call a watch! Many congratulations, from a very, very envious chap! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

Thank you for the wishes.

Many congratulations! A real grail indeed - what a watch!!!

Congratulations on both your 1.000 post milestone and your grail! And with the Email, you will at least have some smart watch functionality on your Patek Very, very nice! To many, many more posts and we'll drink a toast or two to your new addition at our ... 

I will see you in a few weeks, then we can have those drinks. In the mean time, you can email me on my PP...

To me this is the best watch in the current collection,Maybe the best watch period Wear it in the best of health. Best, Ahmed

coincides with your 1,000th post ! Please send more photos and describe more about the feel of the pusher. Now the big question is what watch you seek to celebrate your 2,000th post ? Cheers, Gordon

From now on, only pieces that catch my eye. To me, this is THE one. I will post more, once the first wave of excitement passes.

I'm sure it will provide a lot of enjoyment. Best, Martin

Many congrats indeed - splendid incoming!

I cannot remember a more perfect recent Patek. Great choice. Wear it in good health.

No other model I have seen in a long time comes even close to this, aside from the minute repeaters, of course. Thank you for the wishes.

Congratulations on fulfilling your dream. Enjoy it in good health and for many years to come. All the best, Mike

She is a beauty... Wear it in the best of health.

really beautiful . Best of fortunes with it. Cheers, Filip

Lost of words, OMG, WOW etc....This is the winner of all chronos in my books. Best word I guess is "Congratulations!" Rgds Raymond

Thank you, Raymond. It was my favorite email ever. Also, most expensive, after that Nigerian prince email...

I\'m so happy for you my friend! I wish that such a gorgeous piece will keep you company for many years to come.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

you had the watch but waited to wear it ? I am curious..but may be is something private. Thanks for sharing the photos of this truly amazing piece and congratulations on your grail Christian

As I can't exactly dictate to PP when I want it delivered, I took possession almost a year ago. But, out of superstition, I decided to wait until the day that the watch was meant for. It was a bit of torture, but, as everything else, it passed quicker tha... 

for such a special birthday. Thanks for sharing and enjoy every minute with your amazing grail

LOL I love the "email" comment.

I'm out of words! But do you mean you kept this in the box for a year before wearing it?!?! Or you took a year to get around to buying it? If it's the former, God Bless you, you patient man.

It is indeed the former. I waited a year. And no, I am usually not a patient man, but for this one, I bit the bullet. I would sneak a peek every now and then when no one was watching, but never put it on my wrist.

So it was purchased with your thousandth post in mind? Or another celebration as well? Just amazing. Again, congratulations. Hope to see this one some day.

I promise, you will see it when you visit.

Now, I start scheming for 50th...

Wear and enjoy it as often as you can. Big congrats!

thank for sharing. Nino

And congratulations for the really special split chrono! Certainly a very beautiful and subtle piece! Very stealthy piece!

A bit on the large side for my tastes, but I will have to adjust (poor me).

You forget it the second you see that dial. And besides, it doesn't feel large on my admittedly small wrist.

The dial is indeed amazing and the case case of course too!

And thanks for the taxi ride back!

Glad to have gotten a chance to meet you.

Every chronograph purists' holy grail!! Congrats, and wear it in good health!

epic watch.... Mine says hi! For me the size of the watch is perfect.

I like the size, but feel that 1 mm smaller would have made a huge difference. Then again, I have girly wrists...

This is a beautiful watch, the dial is very well balanced, I love the case (I made a review here : www.watchprosite.com ) ...and this is a very unique looking piece among the recent collections, especially with that very well finished and well des... 

I have re-read your piece so many times while enduring the wait. The photography is brilliant, and the whole post is wonderfully written. It made me want it even more, but it did at least give me some pics to gaze at.

Remarkable. And more remarkable that you held on until your birthday! belated happy birthday thanks for sharing these pics, best regards - - seeks

It was trying, but it made it more satisfactory when the time finally came.

........in every respect. Huge congratulations to you. Wear in the best of health.....

I sure hope I do. And I hope I will be writing the same shortly.

Then let my admiration for this wonderful piece, and you as a great collector, resurface. Congratulations for the umpteenth time! You play in the big leagues, my friend!

On behalf of my grail and myself. And the admiration goes right back, with your stunning collection. We really need to get together and talk watches, especially ALS.

Beautiful to look at the dial and beautiful to look at the movement. Congratulations on acquiring your grail. Aloha, Bob

I appreciate it. I wish I could say aloha back, but, when it\'s 20 below outside, it seems inappropriate. So, cheers.

Alrhough it will probably get seized by the customs.

No message body

What is the reference number of this piece? Why is it so special. Is is a platinum piece? Wear it in good health. Thanks

It is a PP 5370P. So, yes. a platinum, enamel-dial, split second chrono. Basically Patek DNA.

but not finer. Congrats! Kari

Maybe someday, I will have a collection like yours.

Besides, it sure is fun.
