On the way to the AD
This is probably a nice closeup of this spectacular Rare Handcraft piece, that even made it as my WhatsApp status today since I have no IG! The dial is hand-engraved on a base of G gold, and then filled in with back enamel. The Platinum case and buckle are also hand-engraved.
Thanks a lot Alberti, I love how this strap makes the watch less solemn/serious while preserving its charm! Will obviously also keep the original black one, but I doubt I'll revert to it anytime soon.. (and I might also add a pink one at some point ;-)

The only downside, to be honest, is the official client price (825 euros --- glad that I usually don't pay for these things! ;-)) But quality is of course top so it was totally worth the wait! Cheers.
Your fashion statements are something only an Italian could pull off successfully xD, but that dial is as far removed from fashion as it gets - it's a timeless masterpiece . Cheers, and thanks for such excellent pictures Fabrizio!! Filip
Thanks a lot Filip, that is indeed the way I see this Patek --- a timeless artwork, that I'm honored to be able to include in my collection! ;-) Enjoy.
It's great to see purple making more presence within the timepiece community.
Wearing a low-end fun timepiece today, regulated it myself to +/-3 seconds a day. The textured dial reminds of far more expensive timepieces, plus the Timex has great lume and I never worry when wearing her and banging it around while i work outside.
