A new toy - I've thought about this for years...
I figured now is as good a time as any to support my AD and get something I've thought about for so long. Thanks to all for the posts about this watch. New straps will be on the way!

Great one, congratulations and wear it in good health! Looks good on your wrist. If I had smaller wrists, I‘d go for one as well. [nt]

The case is listed at 37mm...
...but I met a man last summer who was wearing one. At about 6' or 6'1" he was not small...the watch looked fantastic on him. With my 7.25" wrist I would wear it in a second : )
I‘m 6‘6“ and I don‘t wear below 39mm anymore (got one at 38mm, but that one got a very large dial and narrow bezel).
Had a 35 and a 37 but sold both after a while. But I‘m used to have limited choice. 80% of all cars don‘t offer enough headroom for me.
It wears larger than 37mm, but is not a big watch. Also very thin. Thank you. [nt]

Mercedes E-Class sedan and estate, Audi A6 sedan and estate, BMW 3 series GT and 6 series GT are the ones that come to my mind atm.
All without sunroof. I’ve given up on testing italian, french and asian cars as well as coupes, cabriolets and sports cars tbh. There are of course also some SUVs that offer good headroom. Even though some of them only look tall from the outside, but are not made for tall people. The Tesla Model X is a good example. It‘s a huge car, but my head is right at the point, where the huge windshield meets the roof and my head touches the bulk at the border between both (also the seats are not comfortable at all at my height).
Heartfelt congrats! The 5196P is indeed a much beloved Calatrava reference here, and with good reason! Great gesture towards your AD as well. Enjoy for long🥂 [nt]

Yup! It was a win/win situation. I got a watch I've thought about for years, and he sold something even though they are closed. [nt]

Thank you. One of these days when we can get together, you'll see it. :-) [nt]

I am surprised
That any of the Patek AD’s are open for business! Good of you to support them.
I'm sure you can't just walk in...
But I suspect that if you know what you want, and they've got it, they'll figure it out.
You're right. They were not open, but we've developed a friendship over the years. [nt]
