Falling in love with the daytona

After 15 years of collecting Pateks, i am falling in love with the daytona… started with the platona few months back and got another impulsive buy yesterday… i am loving the black dial. Need to find a way to stop this obsession🙈

Spontaneous Italian Journey

My dear watch friends! Sometimes travel plans change. And occasionally that leads to something unexpectedly nice. We were actually supposed to be in the Maldives starting today. Due to the well known circumstances it unfortunately did not work out. At the
