    I actually like the green dial. I bought my wife the green dial Twenty Four. I really like it. I think a green dial 6711 would sell like hotcakes.

    I was trying to be funny with Patek jumping on the "green" bandwagon. I actually think a annual calendar green dial/rose gold combo to replace the 5146 would look good.

    Green is the new Black! :). I love my 5168 Grenade. Wear it all the time. Excellent piece. Im hoping for more 42mm watches from Patek.

    Dear Mr XXX, [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG] I hope this email finds you healthy and hopeful, despite the ongoing global situation. As we enter the second quarter of 2021, I certainly feel optimistic and proud about what is to come for Patek Philippe.

    As you know, each year we release an expertly crafted collection of new and innovative models. One of my favorite things to do is meet with you in person and tell you all about them. Although that’s not possible at this point, I am pleased to say that Patek Philippe has found some other ways for you to experience our latest offerings in digital form. Today, as Geneva’s Watches and Wonders show opens online, we launch four new Nautilus models, and I’d like to invite you to discover more about them atpatek.com, including a special treat for those of you who are fans of the steel Ref. 5711.

    Next week my team and I will have the pleasure of presenting to you from inside the manufacture, showcasing a selection of new 2021 models that reflect Patek Philippe’s technical and aesthetic know-how. For your private invitation to this event, please look out for an email from me on April 12 at 18:00 CET.

    I hope you and your loved ones continue to keep safe. [​IMG]

    Got the same email, I was hoping there was a teaser link but we'll have to wait. Would love to see that 5990 in person.

    The whole Patek market is nuts. I think the nautilus is a nice watch but I have no clue whats going on with the prices. I remember it wasnt too long ago that they were sitting in display cases, difficult to sell. Hell, the only reason I want the green face is cause you cant get one. lol. I dont even love the watch all that much. ITs too small for me at 40mm. Prefer minimum of 41 but ideally 42.

    Im looking forward to getting my 5270j. Let the rappers fight over the nautilus. lol

    What they said... decided to look for my first PP late last year, been an IWC guy for a long time. Basically no chance I’m paying the money being asked out there right now.
    As a buyer, hoping it’s back to normal soon, although I’m hoping the same with lumber for my house addition. Lol

    Luickly I have a great relationship with my AD and can pretty much get most pieces as long as Im willing to wait a bit. The allocations he gets is nuts. He showed me his computer screen- its like 1 piece here, 2 pieces there. Every popular watch he is getting 1 or 2. its insane how they articfially limit the supply.

    The AD here had no idea when the new models will be available, not sure if just being coy or actually don't know? @SoCal to az @roma1280 curious if your AD's told you guys when they were expected to come-in?

    All ADs are meeting in NYC next week to see watches in person and get allocations. Now I assume that first deliveries are in line with what has happened in the past. q3/q4. But my AD is in NYC at Patek to see new pieces in person.

    I didn’t ask, normally they say they don’t know. I get the impression they just get sent stuff but don’t get advance warning. When I picked up my 5740 they told me it came with in a “7 figure care package”.

    By 7 figure care package, I think they meant they got a bunch of Pateks in one shipment that had a value of over $1m

    Well actually I did get a nice package with the 5740, a travel case and a watch winder in addition to all the usual box and books etc.

    All the goodies were in amazing rich chocolate brown leather. Here is the travel case.
