I’m trying to talk a friend of mine into PP.
He tried 5168G on today. Thought I post some pics since we haven’t got much coverage of this one recently. Best, Volker
Damn Volker, now I NEED to grab my Aquanaut out of the freezer 😆😍 [nt]

You are welcome, my friend.
But your 5650G is in a different league, not only technically but also aesthetically. I prefer the smaller diameter of 40 mm.
Thank you. Just to tide you over until I manage my way to the bank (and to make your wait for the Lizard a little more unbearable )😀
I’m curious too.
He will have a second look together with his wife on Saturday. Would be his first Patek.
If only it were Acier
and there was a frame on the date window...
Still, very beautiful as is.
The 5168 is really impressive, I liked it at first sight --- if I were your friend I'd go for it in a second, that'd be quite a big entrance into the Patek family! :-) [nt]

It’s a reference that usually is not offered by ADs to first time PP buyers.
But entrance to a brand is always easier if you get offered a “special” piece. So I’m happy that I could arrange this with my AD. I’m also curious about the outcome.
Indeed, I thought it must have been your AD if he was offered this as his first PP --- I hope he likes it and doesn't miss out on the good opportunity! :-) [nt]

Good to have a friend like you to have that piece as an entry into PP!! [nt]

Definitely looks nice on the wrist of your friend.
Personally like it. Thanks for sharing Volker.
Cheers! 
Geross.
It’s very hard to resist this beautiful watch.
The color of blue on the dial looks sublime yet amazing.
