Finally got my one-of-a-kind holy grail Patek!
Hey fellow watch aficionados! For the longest time, I've been just a "looky loo" here on the Patek blog...until now 
I recently took delivery of my holy grail piece, the Patek Philippe 5135R with special black dial and I absolutely LOVE it! Patek only made 100 of these babies for the Russian market, so you won't see many of these in the wild.
Here are some very amateur photos I took of it with my phone. Trust me, it looks way better in person!
Available on the marketplace
2,850 Patek Philippe listings are live on the eBay market and 1721 collector listings on the WatchProSite marketplace.

Welcome here!
It's a great feeling finding your Grail and if it happens to be a rare version, it does not make it any worse. Best, Kari
Great catch on this special 5135R and a warm welcome !
The black dial is special and looks sharp ! What was the occasion (and history) behind this 100 piece limited edition for the Russian market ? Cheers, Gordon
Mercury of Russia
Patek made 100 pieces special for its new boutique in Russia: Mercury Jewellers. They made another special watch for them: 5960G with blue dial in white gold. Also 100 pieces.
Its a joy to find your grail.
Welcome to this wonderful forum. You have a beautiful watch , thanks for sharing your joy. Cheers. Geross
one of my favorite references
and this one does look great, must confess that I was not aware of this one with black dial huge congrats!
This 5135 seems to be quite in the light these days
Indeed congratulations and I'm glad you appreciate reading our forum. You were looking for the 5960P blue dial, did you finally get it? Anyway, it is so cool to be able to get the piece we are strongly looking for, especially a rare one like this limited ...
5960 Blue Dial
No, I never got the blue dial 5960. I still love that watch but this one stole my heart once I learned of it. I had to have it
Congratulations!
I like the fine colour combination and the very special shape. Enjoy your watch and wear it in good health! Do you also have a shot of the back? Best, Thomas
what a stunner !!
A few weeks ago I added the 5135G to my collection and I have to say this one looks even better !! enjoy wearing it
