How did WT 5231 landed on me ! (Long Story)

Many people who sees my watch in the off line world is  
saying that 🌍WT croissone enamel is one of the most wanted 
but hard to get item .

And from curiosity,  they ask me how I  got to come across with it.

So this time , I would like to honestly share the story and experiences behind how I purchased this WT rare handcrafted watch 🌏last year.

Well the story is quite simple,

my wife and I , we went to the Authorized PP dealer shop on my birthday looking for something nice. 

We couldn’t find anything special in the display so we were looking into the catalog.

Since we like to travel a lot , and quite frequently we travel overseas internationally, my wife came across with the  particular model and was in love at first sight 😍which was the WT 5121.
I also was fascinated with the enamel color, world map and the unique design so we agreed to put our name on the waiting list🌎.

Then the time flied and filed , ⏳we had completely forgotten what we ordered. ⌛️

Last year there was a unexpected surprising email landed from AD.

When the email came from AD that the watch had arrived , we didn’t even know what they are talking about it and moreover this was not a watch that we ordered.

“We didn’t order any watch named 5231”

I told to the the A.D.

He told me that

“The model 5131 was discontinued and there is a new succeeding model which is this 5231.”


Then it struck me to my mind that we had ordered the watch at the year 2010. 

So believe it or not , it was 10 years  long waiting time which we had already forgotten about it completely.

So in spite of Corona, this PP WT incident was 
the biggest news and surprise for me in the year 2020.

Since my sons birthday was coming near , we set the date to purchase the watch on his birthday. So that we can write the memorable date in the certificate.

My heart is still beating with joy and love to become the Owner of WT croissone ever since when the watch arrived to our family from the last years my son’s birthday.

What I have learned from this experience is that if you keep on living your life , you will never know what's going to come up and catches you by huge surprise 😳without any expectations.

So live a life you love and
love the life you live❣️

Thank you for reading this long story 🙏

Having your 5231 dated on your son’s birthday is icing on the cake 🎂 ! Very special indeed ! A 10 year wait does passes by quickly if one forgets that he/she was on the wait list. 🤣 Enjoy this enamel art piece often because you are merely looking after it... 

great story of a lovely watch

I really admire your 5740 which is now on my top of wish list 🙏

Thanks. 5740G is indeed nice, an all weather ultra thin perpetual calendar. The only draw back being it's a genuine scratch magnet.

I like to wear all my watches and at the same time would be super careful to keep them as pristine as possible. Yet, my 5740G is already full of scratches, over the clasp, multiple bracelet links and even the bezel !. Though not as dramatic as Mr Stern's ...  

Thank you so much for your response

I didn't know that it magnets scratch so much. But maybe I can referred to as a line in my face so that it gets older, more lines and more vintage it becomes .😅 I was also told from another friend that he polished the White gold watch from the polisher an... 

Great story, congrats!
