Trying on 5226

What do you think? My wife and i happened to pass by a local dealer here in Singapore - with no queue in front of the store. We decided to inquire about the 5226 - they did have an exhibition piece hence decided to try it on … and voila. Simply amazing. T...

Trying on 5226

I personally love it! I went to my local Patek AD to order one. Still unclear to me if I will even get one in the next 18 months but at least I should be on the list!

Wonderful, very happy to read this Chrono --- truly hope this new marvel can soon be your first Patek!! Please keep us posted when you hear back with the good news! :-)

Crossing my fingers! I have no prior buying with this AD so not sure how it will go...Several existing buyer whom already have other Patek have expressed interest for this one so i will likely have to get in line behind them!

Yep, for good and for bad, like with all other Patek models nowadays the competition is very stiff, at any AD....fingers crossed for you my friend! :-)

Thank you for Fabrizio!

I had no idea you wanted one of these! I am surprised this is a Patek you would chose.

LOL. My wife says the same as she cant figure me out! There is something i cannot explain about this one that draws me in!

Sometimes a watch just sings to us. To me, that's a big part of what makes this such a special hobby!

So true! A lot of it has to do with the emotional connection ... cheers

What an interesting development — hoping you get one — one well known pre-owned watch site put one up for sale and it sold quickly this week.

Interesting, maybe i should keep an eye open on these channel as well! Cheers!

Unless you need it immediately, *personally* I'd wait on a call from the AD....not only you'll save tens of $k vs. market price, but this reference is frankly one of the best bets to build a "Patek relationship", which is invaluable these days ;-)

Yes I totally agree I wanna get this one from an AD

🤞🙏🥂

All the best. And yes, fell in love with it

Thanks!

I swear...

Looks good on you

+1

Thank you!

Charming is indeed the right word for it. Nice shot.

Thank you!

I agree. Unlike other watches this one somehow is very photogenic even with iphones

It looks amazing in that picture! Was that a demo or a piece you could have bought right there?

This was a piece I could have purchased yesterday, but...

I know what you mean! Looks like you will have plenty to enjoy in the mean time! 😎

This is the best photo I've ever seen

Magic of iphone i guess

Good luck!!!

Looks fine on your wrist given its more sporty looks 👀!

Thanks and yes the dial is different. I would personally describe it as asphalt dial 😁

Thanks for the very nice pictures, glad this new reference is already attracting so much interest -- simple, modern, and sophisticated at once! ;-) Hope you can receive an allocation if interested! Cheers.

I was told this is now very popular due to the casual vibe. I am still dreaming at this point

Definitely in agreement (both on its being popular and casual) -- fingers crossed for you as well! ;-)

Thanks so much👍

✅✅

I'll forgive you this time, but only because of your sincerity! ;-)))

I was

Thank you. Please enjoy yours.

Thanks! Hope you’ll be able to get one

The genius of Stern!

An excellent (and highly nontrivial) point, as proven by the unprecedented demand for Patek's *entire* catalog in recent months....pretty amazing indeed! ;-) Thanks for commenting.

Big hobnail bezel fan so...

Looks fabulous!!!

No not yet. I have somewhat limited means. I will dream about it more to see if temptation gets the better of me eventually🤪

You know what they say about the best way to overcome temptation? ;))

Hahaha 👏 well said !

This is an excellent release

I agree - well described. I also think it will be a huge success.

Unless you need it immediately, personally I'd wait on a call from the AD....not only you'll save tens of $k vs. market price, but this reference is frankly one of the best bets to build a "Patek relationship", which is invaluable these days ;-)
