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.

Can't say I'm the right person to answer but I would imagine your odds of getting one at retail are slim to none if the current production levels are to be the norm throughout its run.
To my knowledge these allocations are very hard to come by for big ADs, and they in turn have a long list of established clients beating down the doors for one.
Getting a 5131 allocation as your first patek sounds highly improbable but I applaud your decisiveness and wish you luck in finding one
Good luck Jason
