Wiles started working on it at 33 so it took some time to finish it but the base ideas were already in place in his early thirties.

That seems like a pretty weak argument. I don’t think he was just filling in easy details for the next decade plus. Also, even 33 is quite a bit older than the commonly claimed early 20s needed for great mathematical work.
