Always when Patek calls me a collector, I am correcting them: I am not a collector. I like to have a couple of nice watches and wear them all! I also asked yesterday why the watch was kept for me. The reply was more or less like this: "Patek wants to hear...

This is a fantastic story. Exactly how the entire experience should be in a perfect world. I have had something similar happen to me in the past with a Patek AD. It was not an 18 month affair, but more in the tune of Patek wants to reach people who actual...
Thank you Keks.

Patek is all about great experience and great stories. I must say that 5550P got me with a great surprise. I did not post a wrist shot (yet) because no pictures can tell anything about this watch. The dial is simply stunning: onboard the plane I noticed t...

I'll post one heck of a story in August when I have picked up another Patek from far, far away. It will be a story about a fantastic watch and fantastic Friendship between PuristS. Uh, I nearly forgot that also this new watch is coming... I have been so e...
Thanks Blomman

But it wasn't a wait. When I said "no" some 18 months ago, I thought it's gone forever. You can't imagine the surprise when I was told that "the watch is still waiting for you in the back of the safe". I went speechless... Best, Kari
great AD

you have a great relationship with your AD! He could have easily sold the watch. I have "started" collecting again late last year and saw the pictures of the 5550P. i tried looking for one but did not have the luck. now trying to get a 175 anniv watch, so...
Thanks Glau,

You nearly made me cry: next Patek is in May and then in July. It does not look like I'd manage to reduce my watches this year. But perhaps in 2016. On the other hand, it will be 40th Anniversary of Nautilus. Best, Kari
Indeed!

And I have never done anything good to my AD. Furthermore, it was him offering a good lunch and bribing my wife with all kinds of nice presents. I would simply call it the spirit of Patek Philippe. Best, Kari

Indeed, it was like a dream coming true. At the same time this kind of dreams are never really cheap and when having a big family, some consideration is needed. Naturally, the other side of that story is that when the price of 5550P was identical to 5140P...
Excellent....

I was actually arranging to come down the following week but will you be there all day on the 28th for an evening GTG..? I could arrive mid day Thur and see if the others are free for dinner.? Speak soon, Andy.
A GTG

on 28th would be wonderful. The Funny One still speaks about the oysters she had last time. Do you mind if I'll be wearing my modest 5550P or my new Calatrava I have ordered? Best, Kari
Thanks Mike,

My crazy year has not ended yet. The next Patek or two will appear in May, perhaps one more before that. And then I need to fly 26 hours in the first days of July to pick up one more... Thought but enjoyable! Best, Kari
Thank you Count!

I saw the watch earlier only on the wrist of the CEO of Patek. It was impressive. Now when I'm playing with the watch, I can only repeat what others have said before: "no pictures can do justice to this watch". In fact I love the watch so much that the wh...
