Made the move on the 5088/100P
One week ago I posted some pics from my first encounter with the 5088/100P and I received a lot of nice comments and questions whether I opted for it. Because it is a very special model I took some time to think about it and made a further visit at the PP boutique to decide on this matter. Furthermore, I had an extensive exchange with FabR who owns this piece himself and would like to thank him deeply for his knowledge and his insights.
Today I paid a third visit and purchased this Calatrava. I also chose three further straps next to the black one with which it is equipped: royal blue with white stitching, chocolate brown and champagne, as you can see them in the pics. The watch will be displayed now at the soon to come re-opening of the boutique so I will pick it up mid January after my Christmas vacation. Further pictures and review will follow later on as I am looking forward to have it on my wrist soon.

Blue strap looks outstanding!! 🤩
The 5088 on a blue strap looks great! The contrast with the blue makes the watch stand out. Would be interesting to see a picture with the champagne strap…that looks interesting as well!
will show that champagne when the correct strap arrives around end of February
the blue works very good imo, my wife dislikes it though...
Thanks a lot!
Indeed I had to decide on a timepiece with low legibility in time showing and some impact on budgets so yes, I felt that I need to be very sure on this. Strap workability pushed me over the edge as well, thus the whole package is perfect and unique to me ...
A very wise decision, and supremely magnificent Patek!
Definitely a strap magnet when it comes to alligators!
Huge congratulations and well done
I think this type of watches is where Patek are shining these days.
gorgeous watch! I admire your patience...
I wouldn't be able to order such a gorgeous watch and wait till January 👏
Well, they want to present it…
And I am anyway gone into the sun for four weeks so there is something to look out for in January 😉 thanks!
