565 with Breguet

I have quite the obsession with breguet numerals, and this is the newest to join the collection. There are many more Breguet numeral watches from vintage Patek I hope to add beyond this 😆

I also believe 35mm would be the perfect size

There is actually a number of options for Calatravas in 35mm size... and only you can decide according to your personal choice. For example you mention you don't want something "too old". I would recommend don't take something "dated" which is not quite t

Sorry if I bring some confusion in your mind instead of a solution…

Of course I can only agree that both 3796 and 5196 have a beautiful design but as many have mentioned the case design of 5196 is such that it looks odd on a 16cm because of the lug to lug dimension. On the other hand the 3796 is really small and unless yo

For my personal preference, this is an extremely easy one. 5100P, not even remotely close. 565 is an iconic and important vintage Calatrava - full of warmth, charm

and a watch that has aged beautifully. For me the 5565 appears rather cold and sterile … certainly not charming. Again, this is only my personal viewpoint. On the other hand, 5100P is a mechanical marvel (10 day) that is complicated, very different aesthe

A brief tribute to the Aquanaut

I remember the first time I paid attention to the Aquanaut, on the wrist of my friend Tony at European Watch Company here in Boston. It was one of the older smaller references, from before Patek integrated the rubber straps, and he was wearing it on a bla

Yes of course

On the complete group shot on the table; from L-R, PP 2484 (same case as ref 2499), 570, 570, 6119, and the last one on white strap is not a PP -- it is a Racine Royale 3 hander, similar in vein to PP 565. And sitting across them all is UG TriCompax 'Clap

Thank you everyone for praising my 565. I like both the J and A models, but I know that the A model is by far the rarer model. The previous owners of this model also loved the 565A, and there are two archives ( 2006 and 2015) that remain.

It is in English and French. I don’t know if PP is currently releasing multiple archives. Although the double name with Tiffany is a matter of personal preference, I am happy that it still comes with a certificate from the company.

My Calatrava collection has gradually expanded. This time, I will introduce a non-date type model.
