I can’t thank Patek Philippe and my new AD enough for making this happen! The Ice King is here.
I was in a quite difficult situation after I had left my previous AD at the beginning of this year. The situation got even worse when I came to the conclusion that I desperately wanted a 5131/1P (after I had fallen in love with my 5231J). At the first per...
Huge congrats V!
Did you also lose weight during the pandemic so need this heavyweight to counter balance
Leaving an AD.
I'm interested by this concept of "leaving" an AD. I gather that's more than just making a decision that next time you want a watch you will get it from someone else; presumably the AD was aware that the relationship had been severed. I suppose this could...
Yes, I told my previous AD that I wouldn’t buy from him anymore (and I also explained why).
The problem is that you loose your personal buying history with that particular AD. But I also informed PP about my decision to move on to a new AD because they generally don’t appreciate if customers go AD shopping.
Congrats 🍾🎈
Its the watch that gets the most wrist time of my small collection.. I have a feeling this will be the case with you as well 👍👍👍👍
Hi Fram, you are so...
humble to say that your collection is small ! You are a true gentleman ! 👍
Many thanks! 🙏
You are probably right. I love it already more than the 5231J. The cloisonné is absolutely stunning.😍
Yep, but the 5231 set.
5131 set would mean going grey market which I certainly don’t do.
Hi V, in collecting your 5231 set, you can finance it by...
selling your ice king ! LOL !! 😂
You have the same opinion as myself regarding gray markets. I would love to have a full set of 5131
But will try for a full set of 5231 instead at retail prices and new 👍
Yep, I already talked twice about 5089s with my new AD.
2019 models weren’t my taste, I have to confess (the African elephant was okay though). Let’s see what the new models will look like.
WOW! Great story ;-)
You probably were at the right place at the right time. One more evidence that the worst things not always happen in life Big congrats to you on this keeper, enjoy it and wear it in the best of health
Thanks a lot, Mike.
I guess, it also helped that I kept PP informed about my move and that I met those guys in person at a couple of occasions before. Cheers.
Ice King indeed, with the polar circle in full display!
Congratulations on this outstanding acquisition. It looks stunning...
In my opinion the best modern Patek Philippe
many congratulations, you have hit the jackpot with this one Its also a very underrated piece for a Patek Congrats again
A great package to wrap up the series in my opinion, it distinguishes itself a lot from the other 5131s. And of all the enamel references produced by Patek (including other historical WTs)...
...the 5131/1P is the first model ever to be offered with a P bracelet. A nice extra touch of exclusivity ;-)
