Double ellipse trouble
Hi guys!
Just wanted to share with you these new Pateks i just added to my collection!
I personally LOVE them, so beautiful, hope you enjoy the pictures !
Glorious.
I am partial to the hand engraved dial that Fabrizio owns as well.... Thanks for the pictures, cheers, Filip
Thanks Filip, two pieces from different (both current, in-catalog) collections, but indeed the same Rare Handcraft techniques are featured in this beauty and in my 5088/100P -- hand-engraving and Grand Feu enamel! ;-)
After the engraver finishes his work on the while gold base of the dials, the same are then filled in with black enamel to complete these masterpieces! 
Cheers.
It's mesmerizing....
and it's besides the point that it likely takes you ten seconds to figure out what the time is 😁.... Cheers, Filip
I probably never checked the time on a Rare Handcraft…but I’m sure it’s much less than ten seconds, provided I have my iPhone within reach!😂😉
Double wow !!
The 5738/51G is actually one of my grail watches ! Congratulations and thank you for the pictures !
These are indeed remarkable Pateks, in my view they simply represent the highest possible encounter between art and horology --- I sincerely wish you to be able to include this marvelous 5738/51G into your personal collection, Sir! ;-) Cheers.
No kidding…we have 2 of the 4 rare miniature monkeys in the world here on this forum!!!
2 of the nicest GEs one can hope for. Congrats 🎉 and Thanks for sharing.
If the monkey was carrying a pear, then I'd say that would be my portrait!
As I like to eat pears!
😂😂🙊🙈😂😉🥂(definitely not trying to look like a former ‘emoticon moderator,’ but this reply was TOO good!😂😉😘)
Which reminds me, I haven't had any pears lately!
I am currently on a gilded island and they give me tangerines here and tea.
I can see you’re (back) to your wonderful gilded island…if I didn’t have two more weeks of (crazy) work before Thanksgiving, trust me that I’d reach you in a second my friend!😂😉🥂
Come to California sometime!
We have better weather. And we have wine! And I think we get pears too. Although the pears come from Oregon and Washington I believe.
;-)) I will, it's WAY too long since I visited California (I believe last time was to give some talks at UCLA, which was years ago! ;-) Time flies always REALLY fast wherever I am, now it's 2 weeks to the Thanksgiving break, and then 6 to...Italy! :-)
+1! Or also, there's another nice city that as soon as I'm retired from academia (or at least from the teaching/administrative duties!), I'm going to visit MUCH more often than I do today.....oh yes, Geneva!! ;-)))
Yes! I seem to meet most people in Geneva!
I was complaining to a friend and member on this forum that I see him more often in Switzerland and Dubai than I see him in the States. Despite both of us living in the States. But I'm bound to have to make a trip to Boston someday! I actually miss Boston Common - I actually like the park quite a bit.
I've never been!
Although, I was joking once a long time ago. I said as a joke that it would be a privilege to live there and that it'd be one of the best neighborhoods in San Francisco if it was developed for residential construction. Imagine if some developer bought the island and built villas there. The HOA would cost a fortune (assuming that the HOA would have to have a boat shuttle service to the mainland). Plus, there'd need to be parking on the mainland for the cars of the owners (on the island, only golf carts would be used). I'd like a little villa on the West side of the island with a view of the bridge please. But I'd have to win the $1.9 Billion lottery in order to afford it. Low crime too (ironically)! And prime waterfront property!
Someone from Calif won the $2B Lottery
They haven’t released a name yet (was it you?) but did say taxes would be at least 50%.
