NWA - my first PP
Today I picked up my first Patek and I am very happy to be part of this community with this new arrival. When I received the ADs call about one week ago I got so excited and it will be a big honeymoon for the next days and weeks.
Last summer I was waiting for the strap adjustment of my DD40 at the AD and during that time I flipped - believe it or not - for the first time ever thoroughly through the PP catalogue. Four watches took my attention: this Aquanaut, the 5088P, the 5196P and the 5320G. Whilst I had to learn a little later that the 5196P was discontinued (still kicking myself for not taking the one available last autumn) the 5320G never grew absolutely to my heart although there were several occasions to buy one. With all the rumors about steel sport PP being discontinued my hopes for the 5968A vanished this spring and I had already set up my mind whether then to choose the blue 5968G or not….
So now I am very grateful to my AD for allocating me the presumably only piece he receives this year (instead of as usual two pieces). It surely has wrist presence through size and color, but as I love colors this was what also drew my attention to it about a year ago. The 5088P will arrive in September or October and I am very curious whether I will like it or not - but in any case I guess that my PP journey has started by today 
You all have a great weekend!

Fantastic addition
Great watch for summer! It will be fun yo see your future PP acquisitions. I really like how fun this watch is for a PP. - Kevin
Thanks Kevin
Indeed a fun watch to wear - pretty different to their own range but also other brands
Huge congrats!!
It’s nice to have an AD that actually takes care of you those are becoming increasingly rare these days.
Yes, he has been delivering very well the recent months
And I am in high hopes for the new YM SABR....
That is one super nice AD…this as a first PP is quite unheard of, so Big congratulations 🍾
“With all the rumors about steel sport PP being discontinued my hopes for the 5968A” I have not heard of this but we’ll never know when something will be gone, while some can be around for 15-20 years. This 5968A was from 2019 so should be around for a bi...
Thank you - unheard of I actually don't know being a newbie to PP. But for sure it is a nice timepiece :-)
And about those rumors - that's maybe only AD talk, I at least was worried and then happy again. So maybe a good AD strategy, who knows...
Good evening Nico!
Yes, quite a surprise - I am happy as I preferred the Aquanaut to the Nautilus shape. Will be a good daily beater for vacation / summer time
I’m wearing one now
Love this piece and a hell of an acquisition for your first Patek.
Thank you!
There are so many options ... in my mind Aquanaut is more sports than business so I went all the casual sports style in my choice. Now waiting for our Hentschel ;-)
