You're very correct!
The wait was a long time not only because of the small Patek Philippe authorized dealer in Charlotte, NC (and their diminished allotment of 5712/1A per year compared to the amount of buyers on that AD's wait list) but also because the years seem to fly by as I get older! 
Our beautiful Saturday
Can we open it now? Champagne and Patek chocolate ready Open it! Oops, out of order! Torture... Still with you Dad We did it! Thanks honey 4 year wait over ...
What? The dogs waited 4 years....
Robert65, Can I surmise that the dogs waited 4 years to present you with this Patek Philippe box? What did you do wrong? Four years is a long time in dog years. Hey! It's a long time in human years too..... Mighty big felicitations are in order! Regards, ...
Nice 👍🏻 well worth the wait! I hope you get it paid before the price increase?
That’s a lot of champagne and chocolates to add to the celebration 😬 Rgds Raymond
We paid the FULL increased price - and we're still ecstatic to have this watch
for inquiring minds the new increased price of the 5712 1A is *US dollars* 39,797. Paid it without hesitation. We're extremely happy.
Huge congratulations Robert
One of the favourites Nautilus here in the forum. Wear it in the pink of health!
Biggest congrats, Robert! The first PP will always a very special watch for you.
The 5712 was the entrance to the PP universe as well. Simply a great watch. After many years I still love like on the first day.
Congratulations! Beautiful sequence! 👏👏👏
Enjoy your new baby. You'll see that it's been worth the wait 👍
Many thanks! It's inaugural wearing will be this morning.
I'll probably be looking at the dial the entire time. I'm simply happy and very satisfied.
I'm also happy for you, enjoy it I good health!
I can feel your excitement after such a long wait. I know that feeling 😉
Congratulations Robert.
I believe the wait was a bit too much but now with the watch on wrist,You can only look back and Best, Ahmed

Wore the Nautilus for the first time this morning and what a complete joy on my wrist. Compared to my Daytona (which pulls my wrist hair constant and makes me fidget constantly) the Nautilus has seemingly a bespoke fit and sits their comfortably.
I feel blessed to be in such a tiny percentile of the watch community by owning a Patek!
