Inspired by Samwan’s thread ... Patek 2021 Hong Bao (red packets)
Inspired by Samwan ... and from one rabbit to another ... adding some photos of Patek 2021 Hong Bao red packets. Not too sure why they chose birds for their theme instead of an ox this year ...although it’s in keeping with their rare handicraft releases from 2019. Just wish they added a watch inside the red packet or even better a red packet with an enamel dial! Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate or wish to celebrate with us!
Superb gift, it is indeed elegantly in keeping with the latest rare handcraft themes on the Ellipse models -- thanks for sharing, and Happy Lunar New Year! :-)

Thank you ...
Thank you ... Yes very much in keeping with the bird theme on the Ellipse Rare Handicraft releases. Reminds me of the beautiful reference one of our fellow forum members (Michael Ng I believe) posted late last year.
Indeed, I believe Michael Ng's is the only rare handcraft GE that we have seen so far on our forum. Here's his original post ;-)
Lovely designs. A lot of class as only to be expected of PP
New Year is just around the corner (in one more hour where we are based) so I wish you a prosperous Year of the Ox.
Cheers
Sam
Yes indeed ....
Wishing you and your family best of health, peace and happiness always, Leon
Yes they are ...
Yes they are ... one of the prettier red packet designs that I have received this year 😀
It is a "red envelope"
traditionally given by elders to minors during CNY for good fortune for the year. it usually contains some cash in it 😀
Yes it’s usually from married couples to unmarried family members or friends as a good luck wish/gesture
Thanks Jim for answering ... to add ... it’s usually from married couples to unmarried family members and friends as a good luck wish/gesture ... although these days it has extended to become a thank you gesture from employers to employees and gifts to the less fortunate etc etc
Indeed always nice to receive beautiful red packets
... with or without money inside 😀
Beautiful red packets !
Who are you giving these Patek red packages to ? How does one qualify for get an "allocation" ?

Definitely to watch enthusiast family members and friends ... I like the way you think and articulate your thoughts Gordon 😃 “allocation” was courtesy of the lovely team at Patek Singapore and my local AD. Something small but beautiful and meaningful. Appreciate their gestures very much
