After 18 months of waiting, it's finally here!
My 5271/11P-010 has finally arrived and pictures simply does not do it justice. The blue dial with the sapphires are just mesmerizing in person

My dealer received their ruby version last year and they were told by Patek that not every store will receive both the ruby and the sapphire variants. So after a few phone calls, and a couple of sit down meetings with Patek rep, and a long wait, the watch finally arrived at my AD.

I also pre-emptively ordered a custom strap from Patek 16 months earlier, hoping that my watch would eventually arrive

It's interesting to note that although the ruby and the sapphire variants were first introduced in late 2022, there are still quite a lot of ADs whom haven't received their first one yet.

I think Patek makes a lot of ugly watches. This is not one of them.

Gorgeous, baller piece.

Wonderful, now that not only does not fly under the radar it blows the radar out of the sky. Exquisite.

Definitely not easy to get. My AD will only receive one allocation of each variant from Patek and that's it.

Now if that isn’t a heavy banger I don’t know what is! Amazing; and great taste with the blue strap. I bought a blue strap for my 5131R, go blue!
