Hi guys, you know that feeling when you receive the phone call or email from your dealer....

So, here we go.

Fantastic view from the hotel and promising morning

Just a cross the lake you know that your new friend is waiting for you...

All you need is to wait know...

Lake is calm and wind firm the Alpes so gentle and still warm yet...

Your new friend well deserved good bottle of wine to celebrate

And actually the main reason of this short weekend trip...

Wish you the same feelings and emotions which I had and have now... Nautilus is absolutely must have watch for any Patek Man... It's simple and timeless... Pure classic from great watchmaker and Mr.Genta...

Thank you all my friends for your friendship and our little cozy and friendly world of patek lovers.

Mark, thank you very much, would you

I perfectly would wear it with a suit

And I do :) I love the sporty elegance of the thin Nautiluses (5711/5712). The 5711 of a friend I was trying for the 1st time during the 2012 patek presentation in Paris (I bought my 5712 less than 2 weeks after): The Nautilus, a true love story! Cheers, Mark
