Hi, thanks, pretty ironic yes?...

Hi, thanks, pretty ironic yes? That's what I think too.

I deal with 3 AD here and they all said the same thing. It would be
very2 hard and almost impossible to get the piece (5074).

I don't know if that's part of their trick , very common in where I live.

Anyway thank you all for the input. Will let you know after I got back
from Basel, it will be my first trip to Basel or European soil as a
matter of fact.

Cheers

No problem....

Hi, That's not against you! In fact the 5070 is a hot seller, always hard to find, and may be discontinued! You may check with your Patek Philippe AD or even contact the Patek Philippe office in your country. Chance of availability seems very small indeed...

Hi, Please do not post here any watch offered for sale. You can use PM to answer and offer a watch, or post your watch in the Collector's Marketplace. Thank you Dje ps: may i invite new comers to have a look here: patek.watchprosite.com = This message has...

I am also looking 5959. why is it that most AP do not know this model even exists? Where do you suggest I go to get this piece? I did read the interview with Mr. Stern and he mentione something about the Geneva showroom. Is this model only available throu...

Hi, 5959 has been on the Patek Philippe catalog for two to three years now. If an AD doesn't know it he may not be an AD. This watch is made in very limited quantities (AFAIK production is limited to ten pieces a year). If you hope to buy one yes the best...

Thanks for the info and...

Thanks for the info and suggestion Dje. I will be attending the Basel Fair next April and stop by the Patek Showroom in Geneva to try my luck. By the way, what are my changes of getting Mr. Stern's approval to let me buy 5959? I have some grand complicati...

You're welcome.....

Hi, You're welcome. That's not that Patek Philippe has a strange way to sell their watches but there are aparently die hard fans who buy all their pieces (well a bit like you do indeed) If you've been entitled to buy those you have already you can try you...

thanks

Ok, Wish me luck

I wish you luck in your search for 5074

By: WatchFan1 : January 28th, 2008-14:33

...but frankly, I am somewhat surprised about some of your questions above considering your fabulous pieces you already own. I'd figured - if not you - your AD would be informed about the procedure since you already own 5101(!), 5102 (!), 5970, 5712, 5960...
