Patek 5522A; opinions please
Hi everyone; Just wanted to get an opinion as to how many forum members would take this watch, if one is offered to them; I am personally very ambivalent about it and offer the following argument; PROS; Limited edition steel calatrava Simple time only pie...
I saw it...
And I wasn't really impressed. Also I'm picky about straps and looks kind of cheap.
I would get it.
If I have the watch is nice,Steel and simple and a simple modern nautilus in steel with the same caliber is not I am convinced with all the pros but nothing of the cons you the watch sings to you buy it,Don't think if all the people will like it or not...
I would take one
even though I am not into sports watches. It is a relatively budget Patek watch that can be worn in different occasions. It would be in demand even if it was limited to 6,000 pieces! The fact that it is limited to 600 makes the watch far too sought after ...

I saw the watch in metal and in fact,
I was looking at it in three different occasions. It's a very nice watch but not so special. To my taste a little bit big. However, for me it's useless to speculate. I asked from London Salon and one of the bosses of Patek's head office if I could get one...
Glad to be American!!!
Thank you Patek for selling via US AD's. This is not any different during the London show. It didn't help to be an American then. Now it's our turn to get a special piece!
That's a perspective we forget indeed :)
I don't know if US retailers weren't able to have any of the London pieces but anyway, it was maybe more difficult than a European client. Are you planning to try to get one of the models presented in NYC? Best, Mark
Yes indeed...
AD allocation hierarchy based on those invited to the NY show. When in the London show, one can really feel the difference shown to visitors, even at the Patek boutique during the days of the exhibition, when inquiring about the event pieces. Now, it's ou...
