Patek product placement?
Could it be? Did Patek actually do a product placement deal with last night's episode of 'Billions'?
Granted, the company was not mentioned, but the model certainly was. The 5270R. And the superlatives and compliments heaped upon it are so obvious and stick out.
What do you guys think?

I appreciate quality in whatever form it comes in ;)
And the 5270 is no doubt a masterpiece!
It surely felt like product placement.
Mentioning of the model number. Complimenting it. Maybe Wempe NY had some unsold models in stock?
The also mentioned the number of parts in the watch,
Daily deviation (of +/- 0.5 sec per day, I think), and various other complements.
I suspect they were.
Too many superlatives thrown around, with a few details changed (38mm, hinged dust cover???).
