Thinking of buying a Patek Philippe 5726/1A-00
One of my local AD had one come in last week they've been holding for me (w/a deposit) and I'm having a hard to pulling the trigger. I've not purchase from them before. The AD I purchase my Rolexes and PAMs through has a 10 person waiting list for this Patek and told me it would be 2-3 years before I would see this watch. I trust them as I've bought many hard to get watches as one if their good customers (PAM 507 & 508)I called around to out of states ADs looking for the 5726 before I found the one locally, and all of them did not have one in stock and said it's difficult to aquire.This would be my first Patek and although I have spend more on only one other watch I have, not sure if I can justify the $44k price tag plus the taxes.Has others who have wanted this watch experienced the same challenge with availability? I love the watch, there's a simplisty to this gorgeous looking complicated watch and I understand the band to be extremely comfortable.Thanks for again for the fee
