Patek Philippe

But Sir Winston does not have a wristwatch. Why? This sign is next to the statue. The statues was made among other things to remind about the friendship of UK and US during WW II. If Sir Winston could wear a modern watch fitting with the past atmosphere o...  

with a special strap with ivoiry (white?) stiches. Perfect on your wrist. Happy for you Kari. It was so rare and difficult to find and get one. Best regards, Patrickh

It's very dark grey with off-white stitching. I'm waiting other straps to come. I also changed the "Anniversary Clasp" to a standard platinum folding clasp. It feels much better like that. Best, Kari

sits right outside the Patek Boutique in London if I am not mistaken.

And about the dozen of other top Swiss watch brand Boutiques )

Chopard is right there, Cartier close, Breguet, Blancpain, Hublot... Best, Kari

.....a doctor's watch for a Doctor. One of my favourites from the anniversary.

this is an artillery man's watch. But I served in the navy... Best, Kari

I do not think Winston Churchill wore a wrist watch. Here is a picture of the gold pocket watch he wore (found on the internet), apparently now owned by his grandson. The large watch was affectionately known as "the turnip". Best Clive Nick-named 'The tur...  

5975 would have been a great watch in the wartime. Best, Kari

5975P ! + 5575 ! Two 175th watches !? WOW, you are official a BSD ! Cheers Gordon

Getting 5975P was just pure luck. I understood that somebody started flipping and I was in the waiting list. Or something like that. Anyhow, I'm very pleased with 5975P. Best, Kari

Big Swinging DxxK ! With both 5975 and 5575, you DEFINITELY qualify as a BSD! LOL! Cheers, Gordon

very influential ! A crude and hilarious term to describe a VIP , which you are one to Patek. I meant it in a nice way honestly! Cheers Gordon

Just a good and loyal, but demanding, client. Best, Kari

Under the radar, A classy watch for a classy one is quite rare.I think a lot of collectors wanted one but couldn\'t have access to one . Best, Ahmed

For calculating the distances. Or for just plain enjoyment. Best, Kari

5975 was my favourite from the 175th collection. BTW, did you see the 5524?

The second hand is very dark blue. Pictures lie. Best, Kari

as if it wouldn't, the price difference to others is too big. Best, Kari

but found a better one. That's just now on my wrist. Best, Kari

Anyhow, much better for the purpose than my 5975P. That's also a wonderful watch but I can't see it as a watch of a GT car. Best, Kari

This 5975 has one of the most beautiful and interesting cases that Patek has created during the last 20 years IMHO. And I love this dial, completely coherent as a measurement instrument (max 1 minute) and unusual display in watchmaking. Huge congratulatio... 

This 5975P fits well to my modest group of Patek Philippe. Best, Kari

Actually he favored a Breguet pocket watch that had been in his family.

But I thought that Sir Winston would have liked a watch which can measure the distance to the enemy's artillery. Naturally, not as much as a good glass of whisky. Best, Kari

;-) Kidding aside, big congratulations on this purchase. What a watch! ...  

Congrats on a great piece.

Congrats Kari, and wear it in good health! And more photos of this in the wild please!!

Wow! I guess if and when caught, one becomes banned from these watches to be allocated to ...

do you need to take the sign seriously? Congrats Kari, wear it in good health. does it get more wrist time than the 5575?

I tried to be "economical" last week and in one visit to the Salon, I picked up 4 new watches. Let's see. Best Kari

but one was for my Head Gardener.....

not a competition. We are always polite and thus, I congratulate both you and your Head Gardener. Best, Kari

.....my Head Gardener just hates bragging. I like that about him.

But probably you have educated him well. Best, Kari
