Enjoy! Regards, Baruch ...

The two first Vintage Patek and, in another register, the Vacheron for me, please.

By: amanico : May 3rd, 2026-16:35

The 3417 is the epitome of Patek understatement!

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-16:52

The VC for me represents one of the great innovations in mechanical watchmaking: forced hibernation! Regards, Baruch

One of my grails, the 3417. I still blame myself for not having jumped on it when it was quite doable... The Vacheron is, in my opinion, is one of the most interesting modern Vacheron, technically speaking...

I suspect the technology was too expensive to put into a 'cheaper' watch. Shame it can't be universalised for all perpetuals!

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-17:23

I agree, once again.

By: amanico : May 3rd, 2026-17:55

I agree, but I have to admit I am no fan of the VH

By: aperna : May 3rd, 2026-17:02

The VH is definitely what we would call a marmite watch in the UK!

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-17:24

I think within the historical context of its introduction, it was a very interesting approach to watch design and utterly novel at the time. Regards, Baruch

Wow, the Marmite! :))))

VC forgot day of the week : (

By: mdg : May 3rd, 2026-18:37

Too focused on installing the slo-mo function!!

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-21:59

Your photo of the South America 2523 is absolutely stunning!

By: quattro : May 3rd, 2026-16:39

Would you allow me to add it to the thread I dedicated to this major resurfacing? Span Style Color Gray Patek Philippe Span South America Ref 2523 A Major Resurfacing I also love the Antiqua! Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos, Baruch. Best, Emmanue...

Would be my pleasure Emmanuel.

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-16:52

+1 the 2523 is so Beautiful 😍

By: SALMANPK : May 3rd, 2026-21:45

VC 🤤

By: TeutonicCarFan : May 3rd, 2026-17:23

One of the great mechanical marvels of recent times.

Ranks at the top for me! A truly rational approach for those with too many watches and not enough patience to keep re-setting a PC!

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-17:27

That vh is just so funky

By: m2 : May 3rd, 2026-18:07

Too funky for some!

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-22:00

The Antiqua still captures my imagination best 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

By: KMII : May 3rd, 2026-19:30

First time I've photographed one. I'm a fan

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-22:00

That Vianney Halter, wow!

By: KCLQMULKU : May 3rd, 2026-20:00

Particularly fine example.

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-22:00

Where is the 3417?

By: Cozmopak : May 3rd, 2026-21:21

I can't see it in the auction catalog

Good question 🤔

By: gadalex : May 3rd, 2026-22:01

Can't see it in the Hong Kong catalogue either. Maybe coming up in New York?? It was definitely there in London 😂

It looks incredibly nice

By: Cozmopak : May 4th, 2026-01:12

Mystery solved: will be included in the New York sale.

By: gadalex : May 5th, 2026-14:51

That VH 👌🏻😘
