PP2526 - when an image is worth a thousand words...

 
 By: Alex83 : May 23rd, 2017-14:13
I could talk about refinement, work of art, perfection, craftmanship... or just let the pictures do the work for me... ...  

Thanks for these beautiful shots, Alex,

Not only 2526 is one of the nicest (if not THE nicest) Calatrava ever made by PP, but your first series dial is to die for ! Congrats again ! Mike

thanks Mike!

I really like this Calatrava, so many details, all that hand-made work on the enamel, and off course the historical and beautifull movement, there is not much I could ask for in a dressing watch. Thanks for you input, and actually thanks for the post you ... 

Congratulations on your three year anniversary!

So many details to discover with the macro.

Very enjoyable pictures Alex

As I said in the past it is not everyday we can have several pictures of such vintage watches. I'm glad you enjoy that watch so much. These models are full of little details and imperfections that are definitely unique. Thanks for sharing Alex. Best, Mark... 

thanks Mark,

 
 By: Alex83 : May 24th, 2017-13:46
Very well said, the design is perfect bit actually what makes the watch so special are the hand-made imperfections, you don't find that easily anymore on newer watches.

thanks! [nt]

I have definitely felt under its spell!

Wore it today at the office and found myself staring at my wrist very often. Not sure if someone saw me, they must think I do not read very well the time

Hard to be productive

 
 By: beejo : May 24th, 2017-18:00
With such beauty on your wrist. Best, Ahmed

A classy watch and excellent photos!

What do you use to take such nice macro shots?

thanks Glau!

 
 By: Alex83 : May 24th, 2017-13:52
Well, the key is the tripod off course The lens is a canon 100mm 1.4, very good for macro but portrait as well, I use it for my kids so that they don't feel me too close, otherwise it's impossible to take a good picture of the younger one, he won't let me... 

Fantastic shots! [nt]

You see I put on a strap of your favorite color

Crazy thing , 2 manual wind PG ref 2577 are being offered this weekend- Ok only three were ever made

 
 By: watch-guy.com : May 25th, 2017-02:24
It is a manual wind with a different shaped case but also has a porcelain dial. I bet you that both will sell for much , much more than a perfect 2526 can be bought Such is the power of marketing!! Julian
