A gold 5131 is my grail. I'm ready to start working on getting one.

I intend to keep it until it's handed down.

I works for me at retail, but on the secondary market I can't touch it.

I know it's an application piece and something I can't just walk in and purchase.

So my questions are. How do I go about being considered a viable option when I submit an application? How many watches does one normally have to purchase prior to being accepted for a 5131? Is it completely out of the realm of possibility to be accepted with the 5131 being the first Patek purchase?

Generally what do I need to do to put myself in a position to get a 5131 at retail.

I'm looking at this as a multi year process for myself.

Thank you.
