I still cannot believe this is happening...let me dream on. Isn’t she lovely? I think I’ll have to put the Orange strap on. ...  

You are bringing the heat, Raymond!

Congratulations on such a special arrival! I´m guessing a very nice steak dinner to celebrate is in order? All the best, Alex

A bit on the stressful side for the moment...

Lots of traveling, then the whole family was sick and in hospital but should get ok by April 😉 How about you - all good?

April was not meant in the health sense 😉

It will probably take us that long to have everything sorted and to catch some rest here or there 😊

Huge congrats Raymond, that is a very very cool catch! 👌👏👏👏

And yes I agree I would put the daring orange strap, no need to « hide » this beauty behind a classical black one, my 2 cents...

Huge congratulations, Raymond.

It’s a really cool watch. I would definitely put the orange strap on. Enjoy! Best, Volker

Congratulations!

I really like the sub-seconds dial that echos the shape of the dial.

Nice observation 👍🏻

 
By: Clueless_Collector : February 3rd, 2019-19:02
I didn’t noticed the shape of the 60-min chrono matches the case, thought it’s circular 😜 Thank you quattro98.

Big big congrats, super nice catch! 👏🏻

How do you see it in comparison with your 5167? Different watches for different purposes? Thanks.

Thank You 🙏🏻

1st noticeable item is the weight and thickness but I’m used to over 40mm watches so I like the heft. The additional Orange strap and orange accents is very vibrant and summer-like. As for purposes, most of us have a chronograph but how often do we use it... 

More than lovely, and the big news is that next week I will take possession of mine!!!

 
By: mywrongwrist : February 9th, 2019-09:20
I believe I will follow you wearing it with the black strap, while leaving for summer the orange one, unless I will change my mind By the way, maybe you know already that living coral is the 2019 Pantone color and is pretty similar to the orange one... Be... 

At this point maybe I don't exclude to start directly with the orange strap even if...

 
By: mywrongwrist : February 9th, 2019-10:11
Imho catch too much attention and on top lower the orange accents on the dial a bit too much You will see my first (not last one thankfully to the double straps) decision in a few days Best and have a great weekend with the people you love more, like the ... 

Looking forward to it and enjoy your weekend too with your family.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : February 9th, 2019-11:19
Like some members said, why hide this beauty 😉 but have to consider where we go with this one, don’t want to be pry off by bandits 😱 Enjoy your new incoming.

You are definitely right... but at this point the orange strap is more suitable for winter than for summer...

 
By: mywrongwrist : February 10th, 2019-09:54
Food for thoughts, at least during winter you can hide it under your long sleeves, not so easy during summer time, imho I will see in some days and make hopefully a wise decision Best Luca

i have left the watch in the vault...

 
By: Peter : February 9th, 2019-10:39
...at home and won't get back from my current trip until march 20. miss it:: )) it is soooo coooollll!!!!

And as anticipated here we are...

 
By: mywrongwrist : February 15th, 2019-01:24
Totally in love, chosen for the first weeks the black strap The second hand and accents on the marvelous dial shine more I will leave the orange strap for a summer of joy I wish a nice day to everyone Best Luca ...  

Thanks FabR, fine this way, not a shy guy, but really happy about my new piece, even more than I thought...

 
By: mywrongwrist : February 16th, 2019-10:22
... now I can rest a bit, just a bit my friend since I’ve already seen a new watch I need to try on my wrist and see if we could live together, since it’s huge va my little wrist I really need to try it before pulling the trigger Meanwhile the AquaChrono ... 

Enjoy it a lot, it's a fantastic piece my friend! Can I ask you if you bought it in Italy (no need to answer if you don't want to, of course)?

 
By: FabR : February 16th, 2019-11:03
I've been buying Pateks only in Italy so far (I'm in Genova on vacation 3+ months a year, so for me that's by far the easiest time of the year). I'm also on the lookout for something new, I'm mainly hoping for some rare handcraft piece next month, though ... 

FabR one last thing, trust me on the wrist is much, much better than in pics...

 
By: mywrongwrist : February 16th, 2019-12:43
... wonderful dimension and balance, a little funky dial, but with elegance and using one of my favorite color (I have a white dial Daytona Ceramic with orange RubberB strap...) Now I will keep for a while the black strap and than go for the orange one Ci... 

No doubt about it, I haven't tried it on the wrist yet (just saw it at a few presentation parties last summer, but always locked in a window!:-), but no doubt it's stunning. I'm sure you'll enjoy it also with the orange strap!

 
By: FabR : February 16th, 2019-13:33
It's certainly quite unusual to be a Patek, but for me that adds to the charm -- and as you say it remains very elegant. With the black strap then you can go with it virtually anywhere ;-) Yep, I'm also Italian -- born and raised in Genova, but I work in ... 

Oh wow, we are almost neighbors in this huge forum!👍👍😂😀 I recently found out that another friend shares my alma mater (in Canada), and now even a ‘conterraneo’!😀

 
By: FabR : February 17th, 2019-03:36
Let me know of course if you pass by Genova in summer, or even without letting me know, just show up in Boccadasse any evening after 10pm and chances are pretty high you’ll find me there!😉😎 A presto, buona domenica a te😀

That’s terrific.

I have been on a supposed waitlist for a “regular” 5164a for over a year....
