Patek Philippe

Guys the sun has been out again today here in the UK so after a hard day at work I have been doing my favorite pastime......
Sitting in the sun on my decking with a bottle of wine, my camera and a box of watches... ...
Here are the results....
Life used to be so simple when a Rolex that could tell the time and maybe even the date was enough......
I spend many hours looking at, polishing and admiring my humble collection of complications.....
Happy days...
M.

Also took this scan of the 5970p and 5970rg next to each other......

I personally prefer the 5970G but if I have to have 2 of these watches, I will definitely choose the P and the R.
One "Sporty", one Elegant.

...for watches was like mine LOL!!!

Though I understand you perfectly! What a mesmerizing collection!!!

Congratulations

Marcelo

was as complicated as yours. You have a wonderful collection there.

Richard.

I can promise you, that your life would be a lot less complicated, if your were to give me your beautiful Pateks & Rolex Triple Calendar to look after!!!! LOL

What's next?

In an horological way, I presume, because I wouldn't have such a problem with this kind of collection...

But maybe you feel it is too hard to live with those watches.

In this case, I would happily help you, and keep some for you.

You see?  Life is so simple and beautiful!

Best,

Nicolas

 

The chrono bias is mesmerizing. But tell me, have you ever been tempted to the dark side? Something like a seadweller or maybe a very early submariner like the 6204 or of that ilk? Ever a temptation for something totally different? I ask because, like you, I have a real love of chronos, but despite having that bias, i often get this need for something totally different. That gets complicated......

You are tooooo modest, man! That is a one of the most beautiful collection I have seen.

Cheers!

can you spot the fake ?   

that you have......

Anything but humble....

Enjoy it....

Cheers

its saying "Who's the Daddy".

 

Astonishing set of chronos. I keep looking at those pictures.... but Miles, just for quirkiness....you need a seadweller in there.

Had most Vintage Rolex yes including SD, PN`s , Early Chronos, Mil subs...etc.....
And have come full circle to this.......... Enjoy every last one of them... Love the rare Porcelain 16520... And love my Bling.....

M.

that makes me feel a lot better!!

Miles,

Thanks for the pictures. Indeed you have a complicated life. You have a great taste too.

Every time I open my box 9 times out of 10 a Patek goes on my wrist......

Great watches.....Why do you have one or thinking about buying one???
M.

I am also interested in 5960P in blue dial !! What are your thoughts???

As having all the papers etc and the watch being in good shape is now more important than ever with Rolex. I love the 1655 and think it has a great 70`s retro style all of its own......As far as the 5960p goes I like the original dial much more mainly because I just think it all works so well in the flesh and secondly because it was the original milestone 5960p..... The blue is a great looking watch also just not for me....
Keep me informed on the 1655..and good luck
M.
 

Awesome collection. Something to aspire to...

how my dreamcollection would look like ... this comes pretty close

with some amount of sweat and tears..
Thanks again my friend...
M.

as Douglas Jardine said during the Test match against the Aussie...."Nothing of value comes by luck".

 

Great collection. And so nice to hear how much pleasure it is giving you.

spend many a happy hour with a polishing cloth and a beer...........
And yes I guess some sacrifices have been made along the way but my family have always come before my passion for Watches...Well maybe like all of us I spend too much time on my hobby..
I have 2 5970`s both which will be engraved then given to my 2 sons at the right time in their lives(when fast cars and even faster ladies are not that interesting)  then I guess some time the rest will be sold .....
Thanks for your comments....
M.

I have one son, a 5970P and a 5070P..... but oddly its the latter one that holds the emotion for me, so most likely to be given to him. The good thing is, he is starting to like collecting watches....so maybe no need to sell anything EVER!

 

If you had to keep one watch, what would it be?

and feel that what ever my decision was it would change when I woke up the next morning......
Great news about your sons interest in watches.....With a bit of luck he will carry on from where you stop....And either the 5970p or 5070p will give him a massive jump start in his collecting career.....
Regards
Miles..
PS looks like you either are or have been a PN fan???
