Figured i had some free time to try taking a creative photo...alas, I have no interesting ideas beyond this. And much too afraid for outdoor photos!! Neo vintage pieces from 2 Maisons i admire. Of course ,Patek for its charm,history, romance and art...but

It's good, but not that good!

If you think about it. A perpetual calendar is also possible in a price range of only several thousand US dollars above this. Thus, while I would argue a 5135 is a great value at $30,000 USD, I'd argue a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar at $39,000 would

Are auction prices 'real'?

I was looking for some articles on the Patek ref. 5135P Annual Calendar. I came across a Sotheby's listing for an auction in September/October of 2025, so not too long ago. This one hammered at 25,400 Euros, or about $30,000 U.S. That seemed incredibly lo

I may not tell you I've won the lottery, but there will be signs...

...yes, this is a meme. But let's have some fun. Post a watch or any other thing that you would buy if you hit the lottery. Your ship has come in...what are you getting?

Third time *IS* a charm.......

I bought my first 5110J back in 2006 and I absolutely loved it. I had three Pateks by 2017 (5110J, 5135R, 5960P) but I sold all three, to fund my freshly started business venture. (No regrets, it was a great decision) Business was doing great and I was fo

Emmanuel, many thanks for another illuminating and beautifully illustrated post - this time about the gorgeous and highly complex 5101!

Including the 3 stepped rectangular historical antecedents creates context for the highly modern modern 5101. Both the beatuful antecedents which at one time were highly desired and the 5101s are sadly not so widely appreciated today. I have a small wrist

Four Generations of Patek's Central Rotor Automatic Movement

In the late 70s Patek was juggling four automatic movements: 240, 28-355 (JLC 920), 27-460, and 350. They wanted a thin, automatic movement with sweep seconds that wasn’t the 350. Eventually this movement family, and the 240, would replace the other three

A peppy, perky Patek to start the weekend.

The 5135J, another one of those, you know, love-at-first-sight watches, which also is a little out of the ordinary. It's a fun one to have on the wrist so I can admire the sunburst guilloche dial. (And yes, the date is off, I never bother to adjust.) HAGW
