It is the right box

Congrats. The 5107 with the flat bezel is more attractive than the 5127 but it is a magnet for scratches. I am biased as I have one in rose gold.

New (to me) 5107G plus question on box
By: glimmer : December 13th, 2017-03:26
Hi everyone, I just took delivery of my 2nd PP today, the Calatrava 5107G. I am happy to have it and it joins my 5711 1A in my small collection. I was a bit surprised on how small the box it came in was. It differs from the wooden box I received with the ...
Congratulations.....

.....a beautiful and classy Calatrava. To be honest, I am not sure about the box. I have not seen one like that before and have not bought watches in that era to verify. It may well be perfectly correct, but I am not sure. Will try to dig into it. Looking...

5107 is a great complement to your 5711! All bases covered... Now in terms of the box I am quite certain this is the right box for a watch sold in 2002. This reference was in production for quite a number of years so likely box supplied depends on year so...

Always buy the seller, pay a little more even if you have to. I'm not sure that I trust that box either. I'm not sure I've seen a 5107G come in that box. I always like to buy watches from true watch collectors; preferably local, and someone whom I can tru...
My 5127R came in the same box when...

My 5127R came in the same box when I bought it new from Patek in Switzerland. So the box is correct for the watch. The 5107 is a lovely watch in all colors! Nice weight, great size, elegant yet non-conformist! Enjoy it if you decide to take it!
Thank you
