One on the wrist
Just got mine a month or so ago. Very happy, lovely weight and the dial really pops in the sunlight. I agonised over the travel time/AC complication but the thin case, legibility and simple dial won me over. Sadly this may be my last for a while as I think my AD is the same as Sham's in a town in the U.K. with a castle and they did wonderful events. Here's a wristshot.....
I've received THE CALL...
I wasn't expecting news during the summer, but you never know 😜 ...
Quite interestingly
I have just heard that my AD just lost its Patek dealership after 15 years :-(
Ooohhh, sorry to hear that
And do you know the reason? Do you have another one handy?
I will have to contact my AD on Monday
I am not too fussed. If it is not meant to be, it is ok. I am blessed to have enough toys to play with
Thank you Fabrizio for your kind words.
Patek must be downsizing their AD network. I shall also miss the Patek dinners held there!
i thought so too Patrick until I tried it on
and was pleasantly surprised! The lugs really help the watch to fit me. ...
My AD sent me this picture, I haven't collected the watch yet
Nowadays, you cannot take it sealed anymore, you cannot even take the packaging. New policies...
I doubt it will be the case here, but a concern ADs (or Patek itself) will express for certain pieces is not to share sealed pictures, at least before the actual watch is delivered, so as to avoid potential ambiguity/foul play by third parties.
For instance, I often pick up my Rare Handcrafts several months after delivery to a specific AD (I'm always in the wrong place! ;-)) and even if they kindly send me pictures of the watches in advance, they always request that I not share them on WatchProS...
Congrats! It’s my favorite Calatrava.
You’ll definitely enjoy that versatile timepiece! Wear the watch in good health!
Big congrats!!
I really like how it is calm and cool at the same time. Indiana Jones could be wearing it. Post som wrist shots soon. Enjoy!

Congrats, it looks really cool on your wrist!
I love it on the beige strap, but I actually think that I prefer it on the black one 😉
Congrats
I am lucky enough to own this one as well and it’s really a fantastic watch, very versatile for a calatrava IMO. I can be a fine dress watch or more business casual look. I’m sure you will be very pleased with it
