I understand Joe.
I just spoke to my AD an hour ago and apparently the UK allocation was not as good as expected. Perhaps quite a number went to the Salon so ADs received two or three (that is not two or three per shop but two or three for their entire network!). Definitely a talking piece. I was fortunate to see it at Basel but I had tried on the 5164/1A previously and it was way too large for me especially as the Aquanaut rubber strap does not bend very well. I hope there will not be too many speculators around because it just sickening when you see a sought after watch like this in the used market when deserving people like you missed out on it.
5650G arrived - stunning piece
I was really surprised that the 5650G already arrived - a stunning piece!! ...
wow congratulations boxster..a very unique Patek for sure
with high precision and a very practical complication! This time patek delivered and fast...wear it in great health !! Christian
Congrats and thanks for posting !
How does the "terminator" looks and feel in the metal ? More photos and your experience as an owner please ! Cheers, Gordon
Congratulations!
Arrived very early I have to say. Do post further detailed thoughts - I'm sure many here are curious to hear.
Surpised that Patek Philippe went the cut-out, open heart, route...
p.boxster, Thank you for showing what must be a new model. The cut-out dial is reminescent of a couple of brands, including one whose factory is in the same industrial estate as Patek Philippe. (A few hundred metres away) A brand that has been rendered an...
i can't reply for the owner.....
.....but for me, the very fact that it is atypical for PP makes it attarctive. They are doing something that is very much out of character. As a starter, that gets my attention. Second point is that they have created a movement that is essentially more ac...
Hi Joe!
I can see you are a big Terminator fan!! And yes the accuracy gets me too especially as now Rolex has increased the bar to +2 -2, it is good to see Patek seizing the initiative with +1 -2!
Sham....
.....i was too pre-ooccupied with the 5131P and so was too slow to the 5650G party. This is one that I really wish could become a part of my collection, but I applied too late and the watch is in such high demand. I find the watch fascinating on many leve...

indeed...
.....i am on the waiting list, so its not a zero hope....but its not a high hope either.
i just looked on teh grey market....
....it actually makes me fume to see this watch being flipped. For a limited edition that is an allocation watch, something is going wrong when so many are being allocated to people who are flipping them immediately. Just wrong.
Agreed 100%
Patek should actually have an investigative team to check out the sellers of these watches and to identify the origin of the watches The relevant ADs should then be informed that these customers should be blacklisted.
One would think it would be reasonably easy
for Patek to track down who is flipping these if they wanted to. Would be easy to shortlist ADs who repeatedly sell hard to get pieces to clients who flip. It is supposed to be a relationship business as far as I am concerned. There is however a part of m...
I think the desirable situation
would be if allocation pieces do not appear in the used market so soon after the launch of the watch, at least for the first two years anyway. Patek UK with hold the certificate of origin for the 5131R so if they can do that, surely the same could apply t...
I tend to think Patek enjoys observing the premiums for these pieces
If PP really wanted to crack down on resellers it would be easy for them to narrow down where each watch originated. However it is a marketplace and if someone wishes to pay a premium for an item I can not see it being wrong. Naturally if ADs knowingly so...
Congratulations,
The Advanced Research family of watches have always showcased technical innovations from patek, but this one is different. The cut out part showing the mechanism highlights the fact that oils are not needed, and therefore can be exposed to direct sunlight...
5650G
Congrats buddy. It's an amazing in good health and enjoy. Was hoping to get one also but not looking good . It's sad to see so many for sale on the grey market already when passionate collectors like us can't get one . Enjoy buddy Iqbal
I'm going to claim ownership...
...of the "Terminator" appellation. I also think that the flippers should be.....terminated. "I'll be back" once I have seen this intriguing piece. In the meantime, enjoy yours and "Hasta la vista, baby" [err, ok, that's quite enough for now].
Congratulations p.boxster. Nice catch and photo.
Could you post a photo with the open dial hidden by your shirt? which should be the usual wear except if you wear a polo ;-)) or go to the beach... Thanks in advance. Best, Patrickh
I don't believe it,I tried to get an allocation
And failed,While 5 watches are being sold online for at least 2.5x the list I think we are still in the first week of sad these watches turn into a money making object for greedy resellers. I am starting to think it's kind of an unspoken of agreement th...
This is the best photo that I have seen of this special piece....
Congratulations, it looks fantastic on your wrist.
Beautiful Blue
What an amazing piece! Congrats on a rare bird. I am hoping to get one myself
