Blancpain, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Bathyscaphe, released a limited edition model this week. Only 300 examples were produced and the price tag is approx. $18,000.
I like the design and all, but it just doesn't speak to me.
However, I enjoyed reading people's feedback here. Already two people posted their new allocation. I'm very happy for them.
Just let everyone has a favorite dish or fruit, watches are as unique as the person who wears them.
Wear your watch in good health!
I can't stop thinking about the 5320. I'm seriously considering it as my next watch when my business achieves a revenue milestone of $1mm. I love setting goals for myself and can't wait to celebrate owning it.
I've watched countless YouTube videos (thank you Tim Mosso!) learning all about the watch. LET'S GO!!!
On my way to a meeting, I stopped by a jewelry and watch shop in Burlingame. The sales associate was super warm and helpful. I told her that I didn't plan to drop by but the Patek logo on the glass display caught my eye, and while wearing the 5212, I wanted to peek at what they have in stock.
After waiting a few seconds for the store's glass door to open (there was a cop car parked right across), I was ushered in. As expected, there weren't many Pateks in the display cases, but before leaving, the SA took me over to the pre-owned section. The 5320 caught my eye. I haven't seen a Patek like that before; it had everything that I could possibly want:
The retail price is about $110K which is way beyond my current means. BUT, the secondary market has the creme dial, which is my preference, for under $60K. For half off, this is -- in my snobby opinion, because no one needs a Patek -- an absolute bargain!
When I have a monetary or business milestone to celebrate, this is what I'm getting. One can only dream.
