Finally i’m Patek Ready! - Got my first Patek + some ektras.
So a little a funny story first - my AD has been really good to me the last 4 years and can call him my friend now. My first watch was a Rolex Batman and at that time we talked about Patek and I said when i’m 40 i’m Patek Ready and we laughed about that “saying”

Fast forward 12 Rolex (only hot steel models lol - pretty wild under corona and still get watches) later and he called 2 years earlier than expected and asked if i’m Patek Ready? I sure was!

So now the Patek 5167a is finally mine and some cool gifts! Brought my friend who purchased a 5164r travel time as well.

We were offered some other watches as well - the cubitus platinium model, 5236P, 5270P,5205R and 5961R.. The last one was insane but not my taste.

It was quite a day went to AP House for a whisky event later that day witch also was awesome!

Wow, what an AD relationship you have! Great watch, great gifts. It's funny, I would never wear a Rolex hat, but would wear a PP hat. Maybe because I don't own a PP? Anyway, major congrats.
