Hi All, Saw this Patek Limited Edition in the wild !!
A test: what event was this watch produced for and how many pieces were made ?? ...
I went to the Saatchi exhibition
And had followed the limited releases at the time I do not have a specific web source for this
I don't know the event but as far as I know, it is "end of series" edition
I read, 5 example is known and existing according to the owner of one of them. A stunning version of my dream watch indeed. Cheers. Kerem
Thanks kerem, it was end of series and sold during the...
London grand exhibition in 2015
I do not think Patek informed the numbers of London pieces.
What I heard was "maximum 5 each". Best, Kari

London. Exhibition.
And from what I have been informed max 5 is correct and less for some. M.

Has sources that have the inside track (so they say) but who really knows without a shadow of a doubt. Have to wonder why on some of the releases PP didnt give the actual number???
So would you say Patek would be a good source????
I would. Most urban rumours are started by dealers who want to buy them or people who can’t source one. M.
Where did Patek say it's an LE of 5?
On the 3940 / 5070 / 5950 I dont believe they did....my question is they did for the 5159 etc so why not these
Well then it would be nice to have it in the
Public domain to cut out speculation once and for all. Collected Man quoted "believe less than 10" K2 about 5 but it still begs the question why it wasnt published...what's the secret? As a side I sourced the 3940 a friend and there was no indication of ...
Sorry can’t. I thought that would be what you asked.
A few have seen it. It only applies to the 5970 Salmon at the time of the Exhibition and it’s not 10,17 or 5. M.
