It is extremely hard to get these watches from an AD. My AD said Patek had said they needed to sell 2 other watches with every Nautilus/Aquanaut they sell.

Pulled the triger on 5167A after a costly hesitation…

After 2 months of hesitation, i decided to get this today. Very Costly heaitation😂 but i am loving it. Feel much better than pictures and very different from 5711… will share more in the weeks to come. ...  

Big congrats! Why do you refer to a costly hesitation?

as i you would imagine, i bought this from the grey as there is no hope with AD. in 2 months, i had to pay 20% more. anyway, thats fine, i am enjoying the watch for now,

Ah I see! Make sense now…enjoy the watch!

Mine is coming soon, from the spa. Miss it so much. A benchmark in comfort of a sports watch. Cool. 😊 Geross.

Fantastic and congrats!!!

I will assume the costs for hesitating was down to the value going up within the two month period? Value/costs are of course nothing to acquiring and enjoying the timepiece. Congrats again!!!

Correct…

For now i am not thinking of value. It is a nice watch and i am liking it.

Congrats on an excellent choice, the important thing is that you love this beauty now that it's on your wrist -- in my view, one of the most versatile pieces of the entire Patek catalog! ;-) Enjoy thoroughly.

Big congrats on this great catch! This is an adorable watch. It has to be seen in the metal to truly appreciate its beauty and versatility. I really love mine. I wish you´ll keep loving and enjoying ...

this is why grey is sometimes the solution. yes expensive, but is the only way for those models now.

Don't think 20% above rrp is that bad, considering the prices on certain websites

Congratulations!

thanks but definitely not 20% above MSRP because this is not possible...

it it wayyyy higher. i paid what the market is charging now and i am fine with this. the watch looks really good, regardless of market value.

If you can afford it and you’re happy then the price does not matter

Enjoy in good health, I think it’s a fantastic watch

I was merely referring to the original poster's remark of having paid 20% more..

But life is short and if you really want it , the price doesn’t matter. (The gray market dealer offered me for a certain sports model 84500 in Nov. In Jan they said 107000, In February 125000, Now 150000)
