[QUOTE=pav333hp;13238351]. I was told my 3 different Patek ADs that 5811G is one Nautilus that requires approval from Patek Geneva, and they have to approve an allocation for each client, while for other Nautilus models, ADs have discretion on allocation.

Thanks for the info. That is very useful. I won't have to worry about that Geneva approval for a while. lol...

I'm in the same boat here, but I wouldn't hesitate for one second taking a 5712 allocation either as I do like this reference also. Just preference would be 5811, 5726, and 5712 in that order.

I think you 'qualify' for the list for the 5740 at the same time as 5811 (all my read of things)
Great info. Thanks. My profile has a long ways to go still. My spend with my AD is only around $110k between two PP's and a Rolex. I moved my Rolex requests to them in the last year hoping to build my overall spend with them. I'm just hoping for a white metal Nautilus allocation as my next piece. I'm not sure my spend history is even strong enough for that, but if you don't ask yo u don't get...lol.
