When I got my first Nautilus (3710/1A), I bought it because it appealed to me – at a (nice) discount! It was very easy to buy. I became a fan of the brand. That was awhile ago, and since then it seems Patek has become the Hermes of the watch industry. OK…. I have bought many Pateks since, but the gamesmanship does dampen my enthusiasm.
The geek side of me wants more data on how the Nauti-Birkin thing actually works. For those in the U.S., are you able to get a green Nautilus from an AD? I asked mine and was told "an impossible watch to get", but it really can't be, can it? (And I've bought quite a few expensive Pateks from this AD).
Knowledge is power for the Patek connoisseur to understand if s/he is being treated fairly by the so-called rules of this game.
