My pleasure and thanks again for joining (and for your PM). That's indeed the gorgeous 2020-21 Rare Handcraft Volume! :-))
We recently requested a few extra copies to be shipped to Italy (even the ADs and boutiques have yet to receive one for their shop), so I hope I'll be able to pick mine up this summer. Otherwise I'll be more than happy to take you up on your offer 
We announced the 2020 and 2021 Rare Handcraft Collections together on June 16, 2021, because of well-known issues with Covid, so this will be the only (three-part) RH Volume covering both years.
Speaking of Mrs. Porchet, one more BIG reason for me to have this book is her marvelous 5177G-028 that you can find inside, which I was fortunate to be allocated for my personal collection
Once again welcome here Sir, and I look forward to your contributions! Cheers.
Cheers.

Hello from windy Wellington !! I am new to the forum although I have read a fair few threads and also the articles on Wathcprozine site. I am truly amazed by the quality of the content, the calibre of the contributors, their insight towards the brand and ...
You've come to the right place!
Many owners of RH pieces including the patek moderator. Keep sharing your collection, this is a top perpetual!
A warm welcome to our Patek forum ! Lovely 5320 PC that you have !
As the self proclaimed enamel addict/slave of this forum, I am immensely in love with enamel dials, especially Patek's and Anita Porchet's. Have you read these posts yet ? I have written quite a few regarding Anita's work over the past years. www.watc...
Welcome to the Patek forum, it is a sincere pleasure to have a new fellow Rare Handcraft lover and Patek collector on board :-)
It's probably well-known that I view Patek Rare Handcrafts as THE highest meeting point between horology and art. Since becoming the Patek moderator for this forum three years ago (technically, co-moderator for the first two years), I dedicated LOTS of my...
Thank you FabR! I might have the missing 2020 catalogue 😁😁
Thank you (and to everyone else who took their time to say hello to me) for the warm welcome and also for the detailed reply. I am humbled. I should have made clear the fact that I am not a scholar or researcher in the trust sense. Far from it. Like you, ...

I look forward to seeing the actual watch on your wrist against the catalogue photo !
I’ve not seen a single 2020 RH in real life to truly appreciate how wonderful they are. I think for a fair few, myself included, the only way to see these works of art is to attend the exhibition. I suppose there are aptly named “rare” for a reason!! ...
Definitely, RHs need to be fully appreciated in person, much more than other watches, but they are hard to come by! The "School of fish" is totally breathtaking for its choice of colors and tridimensional effect....Here's a few archive shots ;-) Cheers.

Wish I had seen this in person!
Thank you for sharing. The images are amazing but I have no doubt these look so much better in real life. Do you wear your RH often?
I do wear them all, though they are clearly very far from a daily choice (not practical, besides some obvious safety concerns). I would say they are my go-to pieces for special occasions, on top of course of most Patek-sponsored events :-)
Wearing it at the dentist's was definitely atypical, but there was a reason for it -- he happens to be the best friend of my local AD and had missed all other chances to view it, so I wanted to surprise him one day... Besides that he's a very funny guy, i...
Is your dentist a RH collector too? 😉
Besides, I think the dentists (and gynaecologists too for that matter) should wear classy wrist watches !
Safely resting in the vault ?!
It looks amazing! Is that a black leather strap or just the light playing?
Welcome to the site
And congrats on your new post. Quick question about your lovely watch, have you suffered from the leather losing it’s glossy/shiney layer and turning mate? It is really a nightmare on this watch (which I do have) but the mate crocodile strap makes it look...
Welcome and good luck
Rare handcrafts are really something… I was fortunate enough to receive my 5088p before it was not any longer available for order. Will be interesting to see whether there will be a successor. Nice 5320 you have got, imo the better dial version compared t...
