Fantabulous!
Many, many congratulations! So wonderful to see a splendid piece like this find what is obviously a very, very good home with someone who admires the watch, the maker, and the craft.
The other thing that really strikes me is that sometimes you need to trust the maker -- if someone had said to me: "how would you like to have a PT Observatoire with a brown dial?" I might have politely demurred. But from your pictures, it is clear that your watch is absolutely, positively killer.
Welcome to the KV Klan! I think we need to get the Australia and California chapters together sometime soon... 
All the best,
Gary G
The joy of going Independent
Two years ago when I first laid my eyes on my friends Kari Voutilainen Observatoire I vowed that it would be mine one day. This day has come and I simply cannot express the joy of finally owning this wonderful creative work. I’ve always felt that independ...
Congrats

Congratulations! Is this to say...
...that the watch will stay 'down under'? Enjoy (as if you need to be told!). Cheers, pplater.
Congratulations on fulfilling your dream.
I admire that stuck to your guns and were able to convince your friend to part with such a beautiful watch. Wear in good health. Best regards, George

Congrats Rene!!
Big big congrats on getting the KV and having it stay Down Under!! Enjoy the beauty! Hope to see it in person one day! The brown dial is gorgeous!!! I'm normally not particularly attracted to brown dials but only two watches make the exception. One is Hab...
Certainly one that stands out! Congratulation
I am one of those that have tried keeping an eye one all the various Obesrvatoires published on tjis and other fora and this one is one of the most remarkable for being platinum and exhibiting this rare copper gold dial. I only know of one other of Voutil...
Never tire of seeing that one....
Congratulations on acquiring such a masterpiece. I'd have a hard time getting that KV off my wrist. Wear it in good health. Darren
Congratulations
This is a very, very special watch, among the most fine a collector can ever own, and to be cherished and quietly admired and held for generations. Kari really has his own style.
Huge congratulations..
... so modern and still a big vintage touch with the dial, hands and case Nice "killer" Best Hans
Very nice dial color...
Congratulations on such a masterpiece. Very nicely detailed and that blue circle on the hands is just superb...
Well done
So glad to see this one in your possession now. As its from a friend, its all the more special. Its a stunning combination. Regards, Richard.
A little bit hard to read all the comments...
...but I'm still convinced that it really was time to move on, and I'm very glad that the watch went to a good owner and that I will most likely still get to see it again from time to time. Congrats Rene! Cheers Tony P
Only you can judge
...when it is time to move on! I've sold a few (the RG PSM Shimoda #1 comes to mind) where I've had second thoughts, but all in all if your gut is telling you that it's time it's probably a good idea to listen. Onward to new treasures, I hope! Best, Gary ...
Congratulations Rene

Sorry for the delay, but wow, René, BRAVO.
you just put your hands on a superb, very desirable watch. I really wish one day to be able to write the same lines, and to proudly show you my KV. For the moment, I am feeling your happiness, and sharing it, too. Best, Nicolas

The KV has been on my wrist everyday. I just love it! Regards Rene
