How I managed to purchase a 5711 from an AD in 2 weeks
Hi,I thought I’d share my experience of how I managed to purchase a 5711 last August from my AD, waiting only 2 weeks...I’ve been a customer of my local AD for nearly 15 years, from my mid 20’s. Back then I bought my first watch; a Panerai 104. I then went on to purchase a Rolex Milgauss. And later on I purchased a Jaeger Geophysic.

How do you clean your Patek on a leather strap

Sign of the times or another reason???
Yesterday, two other friends and myself took ourselves of to London for a few hours, to visit as many AD and vintages shops in Bond Street including Old & New Bond Street.Now for those who know that area, will appreciate that there are several Patek Philippe AD's including their Boutique.Now for the first time ever, I saw pieces in the window, that would a couple of years ago, already had buyers or were kept in the safeThese included pieces across the board such as PC's AC's WT, Chronographs.Models such as: 5140 all metals, 5159, the new PC from last year, 5960P both coloured dials, 5170J, 5130, 5726, 5205, 5980, 5712 etc etc.And this wouldn't be in just one storte but most of themNow is this beacuse of our current favourite phrase Economic Climate, or that AD's are stocking up or that they are just tooooooooo expensive or maybe another reasonOn a slightly different note, I visited the new watch department in Harrods and found it to be a HUGE improvement over their previous one.
