Congratulations on the 5212A
I have asked my AD to find out whether he could source a copy of the 2022 Rare Handcraft book as me mentioned Geneva had allocated me a piece with an "AP" signature.
Congrats for the 2022 PP Rare handrcrafts allocations
It looks like the allocation choices have been made by Patek, and i have been in touch today with the Salon to hear that unfortunately i wiill not be one of the happy few ... Very disapointed but that's the way it is .. Any one here who has received a nic...
Hi Chris, I need to correct this as we are being read by customers all over the world (and by Patek itself). I can tell you that, as of today, allocations have NOT yet been decided in several markets.
For certain markets, we don't even know which watches will be available yet (let alone which customers will be assigned those watches by the local bosses). For other regions, as you correctly pointed out, allocations have already been made. Of course, I'm...
Thanks Fabrizio for the precision
I guess you are much more aware of the internal process than i am, but it looks strange to know that decisions on allocations are not made for the whole world at the same time. I do not get how it could work and be consistent. Communication might be a bit...
No problem. Please understand it is a complicated process for Patek, made even more challenging by the *enormous* interest these artworks have received by top collectors in recent years (incomparable with even just a few years ago! ;-)
For obvious reasons, I don't want to go into greater detail than what I said earlier. However, let me mention that (communication delays aside, which are generally nonexistent these days) it's natural that certain markets --- and/or certain collectors the...
Thanks
For the more complete answer ..; Being a bit competitive (and really disapointed not to be able to be allocated the one i had a crush on...) i wanted to understand what could be done on my side to increase my chances % ... besides not being a 7 or 8 figur...
Hi Chris, I am sincerely sorry it didn't go the way you were hoping for this time around ;-) The good news is, you already have an exquisite Patek collection (including an in-catalog Rare Handcraft), AND you are genuinely passionate about the Brand..
With this enviable profile, I am sure your application was considered very seriously this year. So even though I can only expect the competition to access these out-of-catalog pieces to get stiffer in the future, I am pretty confident that you will ultima...
As a quick update for everyone as we await all allocations to be finalized, the literally AMAZING 2022 Rare Handcraft *book* is now or will soon be available at your AD for viewing (the ADs who picked it up in person can already display it)! :-)
Huge thanks to Patek for sending me a personal copy so early this year --- it's a real treasure with all the 2022 models, and obviously a must-have for the library of any Rare Handcraft collector! In case you missed it, see our live announcement for WPS o...
Congrats !!
On the 5212 .. I had the book since the exhibition and it is a "torture" to open it ... look at the cover
Many thanks (on behalf of my girlfriend! ;-)) She’s so incredibly happy with this new piece since last night….now I’m officially afraid to have a huge Patek competitor within the family!! ;-))))
Collectors/visitors and also ADs who attended one of the Rare Handcraft Exhibits (this year we had both Geneva and Paris) should indeed already have been gifted a copy of the 2022 Volume, and I’m sure that other collectors will receive theirs as well soon...
Congratulations on the 5212A

Many thanks (my girlfriend is the lucky recipient :-) and *HUGE* congrats to you on this incoming Rare Handcraft!! You've been selected by Patek for a watch that most collectors can only dream of, and Anita's signature makes it even more special! :-)
I'm told by Patek that she was only assigned to create some Golden Ellipse Rare Handcraft wristwatches this year, so you will likely be allocated one of the Ref. 5738 themes in Grey gold. Hope you'll enjoy immensely and that you'll share pics upon arrival...
Many thanks
I was told it was a 5378/50G-023 and delivery on August. I will post some pictures when I receive it.
My pleasure, your "Zebra" is one truly STUNNING artwork! :-) Since this well-written Rare Handcraft thread is deservedly receiving a large number of views, let me include some official info on Ref. 5738/50G-023, to the benefit of all interested viewers:
(From Patek's official Rare Handcraft release, which was first published here on March 30) And finally, a gorgeous, full-page "picture from The Book"... ...
