Thanks for the info and...

Thanks for the info and suggestion Dje. I will be attending the Basel
Fair next April and stop by the Patek Showroom in Geneva to try my
luck.

By the way, what are my changes of getting Mr. Stern's approval to let
me buy 5959?

I have some grand complication, 5101, 5102 and 5970RG

Other model that I have is 5712WG, 5960, 5070 and 5980.

What would be the minimum requirement to get that piece?

I am also presently queing to get 5074 in RG, but my AD says the
chances are a bit slim and even if I can get it, it will take a very
long time. Would going to the Geneva Store improve my chances? Sorry
for asking too much, but I am a bit confused bt the way Patek sells
their timepiece.

No problem....

Hi, That's not against you! In fact the 5070 is a hot seller, always hard to find, and may be discontinued! You may check with your Patek Philippe AD or even contact the Patek Philippe office in your country. Chance of availability seems very small indeed...

Hi, 5959 has been on the Patek Philippe catalog for two to three years now. If an AD doesn't know it he may not be an AD. This watch is made in very limited quantities (AFAIK production is limited to ten pieces a year). If you hope to buy one yes the best...
