Went in for a Day-Date, came out with this…
My wife wanted to get me something “nice” for my birthday. We were going in to have a ring sized for her at the AD where I have been on the interest list for a Pepsi since the day they were announced. I thought I’d like a meteorite Day-Date but of course they didn’t have one in stock and in fact not much Rolex stock at all. My dear wife wandered over to another case and said “I really think you should look at one of these and try something different!” Fortunately we had both attended the Patek exhibition in NYC a few years ago and it really impressed her. Needless to say- she succeeded in getting me something nice!

It’s a beauty. What reference is that?
I wonder how many times a day this happens due to no stock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats for your new gorgeous timepiece!
I think this is 5396G-011, right? I went to Patek boutique couple months ago and looking for 5396R-015 (blue dial with baguette diamond markers) but they didn't have it.

Its a 5396R-011, the rose gold didn't come across well in the picture. Very happy with this and so glad my wife wanted me to "spread my wings" into Patek

Forget the watch! Having a wife that understands and supports your desires—priceless! Well played… Your wife, that is! Nice watch BTW.

Fantastic choice. 5396 is super underrated. I think it's their best AC. Congrats.
