Congrats G., this is another gorgeous entry in your collection -- great looking and sought after, you've chosen a real gem from the current lineup! ;-)
Here's a fun fact you might find interesting: out of the 24 "Porchet monkeys" we introduced last year (four Rare Handcraft 5738/50G sets of exactly six pieces each!), in the end as many as TWO landed in your beautiful city! One of course was delivered for you at V., and the other for a good customer at P..... 
Of course I can't say more, except that now I would LOVE it if you manage to post a joint, all-Italian "monkey shot" for my forum! ;-) If and when you get a chance to track down the other monkey......I'll be looking forward to it!
Ciao, FabR

Thank you Fabrizio as always for the kind words!
Yes i remember when it arrived at P in September, i saw it there and fell in love… i sent a picture to V asking how much it was and he replied with ofc the crazy retail price, so i forgot about it 😅… then in November I receive a call from V saying he had ...
Yep, the P monkey! ;-)) I was of course aware of the allocations, but I didn't actually get to see this in person as I was already back in the US! A double wristshot from the same city would be truly....EPIC! :-)))
Patek usually doesn't include the Rare Handcraft MSRPs when they send me the material for the live announcements, so I remember that I learnt the values of the 2022 'Porchet monkeys' months later like everyone else, by talking to ADs and collectors....and...
Congrats
I will have to see the dial soon in person and then decide on it - hope you can wear it regularly
New Pictures !
Hey guys sorry i forgot to post better pics where you can see the blue!!😍 ...
Congratulations on adding this very complicated, attractive and practical Nautilus. Probably my favorite. The first image beautifully captures the
captivating blue dial. My gray one says hello. Best, Patekova ...
