bypassing AD? I'd like you to tell us how it went
Although I am only a PP fan at this point, I see how one could become impatient with their AD.
I have been in the shops at Zurich years ago, and I recall some hateur as well. Maybe that was also an age-issue then.
No doubt the clerks in Geneve have seen oil sheiks from Saudi Arabia, royalty (pardon if you are in this groups) rolling up in Rolls Royces with guards.. So perhaps "ordinary" - as if any PP enthusiast is ordinary - gentlemen are grouped as "commeners", even if you are wearing a prized Patek.
Geneva Boutique
Dear Guys, I am going to be in Geneva next week and thought I would drop by the Patek Boutique. I have been to the Museum before and enjoyed it very much. My questions regarding the Boutique are two. First, what is the availability of hard to get models -...
my experience....
....with waiting lists is that they have never worked whenever i have given my name in a big city such as london, geneva, paris....and that was for simple watches like nautilus (5711, 5712, 5980), aquanaut (5167), 5130. they are all always polite and keen...
I was greeted warmly

Patek Geneva Boutique Experience
Glad to hear that you had a pleasant experience visiting the Patek Philippe boutique in Geneva. I've only seen photographs of the interior of some of the public salons and it looks extremely beautifully decorated. Were you offered access to the owner's lo...
I was not even offered to view any of their watches
like I said maybe it was just a bad day, but I was a bit disappointed. I had just come from the museum where I was treated like a long time friend and one of their VIP clients. Perhaps it was my age, I'm almost 30 now but when I shave I look about 17. Who...

I had a good time....
I was part of the Purists group who visited the PP Factory tour, followed by the Boutique and Museum visits. During the Boutique visit, the group bought the last remaining 5050's in the store. the boutique manager showed us around, and gave us any missing...
ON my last visit to Patek boutique in Geneva ....
... it was early in the morning, the sales people clearly isnt ready for any polite service without their few shots of cappucinno. My friend and i went through the ground level, asking about the availiability of a few pieces, without much luck. We then pr...
