Patek Philippe

Because I have two sons and each son is treated exactly equal. My wife of 24 years explained that if I purchase a Patek as heirloom to give to the next generation I should do the same for both children to prevent any family conflict. All I can say is than... 

and easier to apply when both children are boys.

There are many reasons to get 2 of the same watches... - One can be a beater, the other is there in the safe, just in case the first is broken, stolen, lost, etc... - Two sons or more, like you, Aussie. - The Flipper...Is it useful to elaborate? Best, Nic... 

Aussie, I've owned more than one identical model several times: Once with a platinum AP because I thought it was so special; several times with beaters that I wanted to make sure I had replacements for, and once with a model my son and I both like to wear... 

For Patek, it's too much money for me. I have two pairs of IWCs: Ref. 803A steel, one anthracite and one silver dial; Ref. 810A steel, one plain IWC and one IWC Turler dial. In the somewhat unlikely event that my kids like watches, I guess they can break ... 

I have a Tag Heuer 2000 Professional (quartz) and a 2000 Automatic. I received the quartz model as a gift when I turned 16 and purchased the 2000 automatic since I really like the 2000's look but wanted an automatic movement.

for models that unisex.... for my son & daughter..... cheers

I never wanted 2 of any Ref in my collection but when the 5970p came up I just could not part with my 5970Rg....... But we will see what the future brings.... M....  

i used to sometimes buy 2 but as i've matured as a collector (and realized that there is no such thing as a grail and i'll always want something new).... I've changed and now my view is why bother.... except for the ultra high-end stuff you can always fin... 

I think there is always something new that you will want go after............why spend money on the same thing, unless money is not an issue.

so which Nautilus gets more wrist time? thanks cheers

They are all beautiful, yet so easy to get hairlines. So I often end up wearing my 5107P or 5091J (the Sculpture).

All gone now, except this one...  

i had been looking for something specific and just couldn't find what i was looking for. Then two great versions came up at once, and i took them both. These are both vintage watches. WOuld i normally do this? No.

why....just because...  

I only own two Pateks, both of vintage variety. One is a ref. 1450 YG "tophat" with original dial and 9-90 movement like the 1593, the other is a 1970 thin dress watch. I do not wear either watch, but have them in my vintage collection along with a '50's ...

so to answer your question If I could, I would ... without doubt !
