I am not surprised. They are known to give bad service. Got a run in with their boutique in MBS few years back and end up having to complain to Patek regional office. I would have answered the guy with, “I know the price and I bet you cant afford a three million baht watch or you wont be working here”

Pure arrogance in Bangkok
By: Maltie : December 1st, 2019-05:15
We just spent a few nights in Bangkok, indulging in exquisite food, enjoying Gaggan’s new G-spot and visiting James Suckling’s wines of Italy event. We took the opportunity to visit two Patek Philippe boutiques and we were “welcomed” at both with pure arr...

Sry for you but as long as the food is ok ;-) I went to a shop and said i might buy tomorrow and then the sales person took the watch from me and said "ok but then we dont have to talk today" lol

Had tried Gaggan mid part of this year and it was interesting. I did went to a PP boutique beside the Grand Hyatt. I inquired about something but was told it was difficult to get. I remember there was a 5320 on display that time.
Seems...

As though the 5320 has become a pretty easy watch to find. I really like it.
It seems that none of you have ever dealt/worked/met other people

We ALL judge by the cover. It's unconscious processing. But we do so. Likely those employees are trained to spot "casual" wealthy persons from the time-wasters, which are the vast majority. Asking a 90k watch without being known is a legit question by OUR...
Pretty Woman scenario!!! Sorry you has a bad experience!

For me It was in New York. my wife and I went to De Beers boutique. It was raining and we were wearing casual clothes! The SA insisted on the fact that we might find what we are searching for on the first floor: where the less than 1ct are on display... I...

For a respite from condescending, obnoxious and rude customer service people. I’ve visited that location twice in four years, and both times the sales person was helpful, knowledgeable, personable and treated me with unforced friendliness. And no, I was n...

Happens in all parts of the world too... I generally ignore and at times when I am in the mood I will let them know outright. Feel no shame in that...
Exactly what I did too, told them off bluntly

Must admit that this only happened so far at these 2 boutiques, both in Thailand. And I always walk in a Patek boutique wherever we travel. Lately I have been walking in to Lange boutiques again and in London, Hong Kong and Thailand they were very kind an...
The food and wine looks good! the arrogance part...

happened to me before in Dubai as well, albeit not in a watch shop. I was at their largest shopping mall and if I remembered correctly stumbled upon their Club or members-only floor. I walked in and was greeted by a staff member of South Asian origin. He ...

Great pic and beautiful world time watch. Wear it in good health. C
Terrible service, I think they are used to different clientele

Reminds be of early 2000s in Paris before the Chinese tourists came - the big spenders were Russian and they were dressed like s***. Staff quickly learned that if you walked in with fur boots or hat you were able to go BIG. I find nobody goes into a luxur...
