New Patek’s at Aussie AD?

Curious at the obtainability of hard to get Patek models at Australia ADs?
Anyone had recent success with any nautilus or aquanauts? What was the waiting period or are they simply unobtainable?

Any other recent New AD Australia Patek purchases? What City?

Ever see the Aussie movie, 'The Castle' from ca. 1997? Michael Caton's tag line was always, 'tell him he's dreamin' when his son would discover some ad in the newspaper for some obscure item at exorbitant prices.....like jousting sticks. You just aren't going to find stuff like this at an Australian AD unless you have a good relationship with them.

Yes I’m an Aussie I’ve seen that movie 😀

🙁

I asked because I got an entirely different impression for the various dealers then I do get from online forums, social media etc

That’s sales people I guess 🙁

In 2015 I walked into an AD in Cairns and they had a white stainless Daytona in the case and I proceeded to buy it very quickly.
