managed to try on the Patek 5226 at the local AD...

By: terbaboom : May 24th, 2022-15:25

and i must say that it's a very good looking and versatile watch... let's see... ...

I like this one alot!! What's the availability??

By: aperna : May 24th, 2022-15:47

me too! I could only express my interest to my sales contact and wait…

By: terbaboom : May 25th, 2022-00:32

not sure for how long though…

Very very nice. Love modern approach by Patek. Hands looks awesome.

the clous de Paris hobnail pattern on the side of the case gives another perspective to the watch

By: terbaboom : May 25th, 2022-00:35

I like this one a lot as well! I am officially on the list for this one but no date from the AD yet! All i know is it will not be in 2022!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : May 24th, 2022-16:48

hope you’ll get yours soon!

By: terbaboom : May 25th, 2022-00:40

waiting lists can be rather meaningless over here, unless the AD is willing to take a deposit

I am liking that dial more and more!

By: KCLQMULKU : May 24th, 2022-17:40

Great photo and good luck with your decision!

thanks! i think I’ll need more grace from the AD than luck ;)

By: terbaboom : May 25th, 2022-00:42

Thanks for the excellent picture, this is becoming a really sought-after model..hope you can receive an allocation if interested!👍🥂Cheers.

By: FabR : May 24th, 2022-20:05

thanks Fab! definitely hoping for an allocation

By: terbaboom : May 25th, 2022-00:52

just that the market here can look like a modified form of economics’ price discrimination at play

Good looking watch, for sure

By: Ping.Timeout : May 24th, 2022-22:33

couldn’t agree more

By: terbaboom : May 25th, 2022-00:53

Cheers. Thx again for sharing.

By: Ping.Timeout : May 25th, 2022-03:54

Very similar to my 5522

By: socal to az : May 25th, 2022-00:37

It has shades of simplicity. I like it. Will be a winner.

the 5522 is a very good looking watch!

By: terbaboom : May 27th, 2022-01:43

Interesting

By: montecristo#2 : May 25th, 2022-01:05

This seems to be the next logical move in the trend to casual after the introduction of the Calatrava Pilot a few years back. Pilot watch, field watch…. They already have sports watches and turning the Aquanaut into a hardcore diver might be a bit too muc...

hmmm… what does a mountain exploration watch look like

By: terbaboom : May 27th, 2022-01:48

A Rolex explorer

By: montecristo#2 : May 29th, 2022-09:23

Or that Vacheron Overseas limited edition they just put out that looks amazing.

Best new release Imho.

By: MiguelFlash : May 25th, 2022-03:06

definitely one of the best

By: terbaboom : May 27th, 2022-01:50

Patek spirit

Great shot of this dial, which is very difficult to capture well in the pictures! ;-) Thanks for sharing.

By: FabR : May 25th, 2022-07:13

nice shots! thanks for showing the clous de Paris pattern on the case

By: terbaboom : May 27th, 2022-01:53

Anybody knows lug to lug size for this watch?

By: Squishytwenty7 : May 25th, 2022-14:07

Its a very nice modern reference ... my mrs has already expressed interest, but in a smaller size which I am positive will be announced in a year or two

By: HobbyCentric : May 25th, 2022-14:52

wow! is this the strategy now? to get in the queue even before the watch is announced ;)

By: terbaboom : May 27th, 2022-01:55

But only for those models that you are positive they will be announced :-)

By: FabR : May 27th, 2022-07:43

I am dying

By: GLau : May 25th, 2022-15:52

to see this one in the metal ! Best of luck with the allocation !💪

thanks Glau! i understand from my AD that they are required to display a minimum number of watches in their boutiques and as such, there’s a high chance you’ll be able to see the watch in the boutiques

By: terbaboom : May 27th, 2022-01:58

of course, ensuring the minimum number on display technically means they have less to sell
