Icon10 Today I got the call my 5575 came in so...

Here you go from double sealed to wrist shot. I have to say this piece is even much more special in person than photos. The 5575 was the one from very start of the 175th collection preview that got me. So here you go all....Cheers,

Huge congrats Ken! This is definitely my favorite 175th anniversary piece. My AD had one but it was sold before I had a chance to see it in person. Looking forward to lots more pics of this watch from you!!

I'm completely in love with this one. By far my favorite in the 175th collection. This moon phase is just perfect IMO.

Thanks James! They actually came from Patek with papers filled out by Patek and not open. It was allocated to my AD on my behalf as to the AD's who got them had to submit names and address of buyers.

Darn ken. You did it again! Congrats.

If it only had an exhibition case back, I'd cancel my 5131 application in a heart beat. That dial is Devine.

Thanks guys! And Ian love the special engraved case back very fitting for this special occasion 175th that is! As for 5131 I was told officially I am out of luck even though I was supposed to get in 2015. I was told however as I have stated in other posts that if they do make it in another metal my application will be transferred and I am at top of list. Also the 5575 all sold out and fully allocated. Again Patek Geneva sent to my AD with papers typed in complete with my name and address.

Congrats again. Seem like I totally whiffed on this trade. I passed on the 5575 because I was hoping for the 5131. Now, I have neither.

Sorry Ian I did this one just in case as I feared they would retire and I heard rumors.
