I won't repost it here as it's in the official announcement that I gave last week, but let me just briefly remind our readers that the full 2022 Rare Handcraft list is available in the 14-page press release in that thread. Since I believe the 2022 Rare Handcrafts are not yet available on Patek's site, any interested member should consult that and then as usual feel free to get in touch for further information Thanks again for your service Gordon!

Excellent choice with the Lion… I hope you do get the reference that you ask for! All are remarkable. Do you know if there are any marquetry watch references? Would be interesting to see what the theme is this year. I believe there was a hawk last year? Thank you for the photos!
