The jumping hour caught my eye.

Hi,

I like what I see.

... the first two on the left

The jumping hour is unusual and well designed

While the "layered rings" on the case of the second watch is eye-popping and has the WOW factor.  BTW, what is the reference of this watch ??

Cheers,

Gordon

from 1989 and one of the pieces presented for the 150th Anniversary.

... different references (other than caliber 89) were made for 150th anniversary ?

Thanks,

Gordon

3960, 3969, 3974, 3979, 4760, 4761, 4762.

Which you can read about here: patek.watchprosite.com /

Best,
Oliver

.... there was also 3718 in steel with enamel dial. 3923 steel with dark grey dial for the Japanese market.

the ladies version of 3960 is 4860 & 4861.

Those haven´t been part of the official anniversary catalogue, at least not the German one I have. But you never know what they did for special markets ...

Thanks!

Oliver

Thanks...Some more of the 1950's layered rings genre... From the left...2550,2549,another variant of the 2549 too thanks Roni

For your generous sharing.

...the guilloche dial is just so delicious !!

François

Thanks François...unfortunately no still looking for the 4th and final Gilbert Albert,the elusive Ref 3413

Roni

Is it safe to assume that you are still searching for the one we discussed years ago?
No to worry: "Someday your prince will come" ;-) Miki

and therefore I thought it could be nice to use it as our new masthead photo.

Roni I hope that is fine for you and also that I photoshoped it.

Cordially,
Oliver

I'm so humbled you have selected the image for the masthead...thank you! I'm sorry it was such a poor pic in the first instance.

Thanks ever so much,

Roni

Some pieces you never see anymore...until perhaps the anniversary.
