Interesting. J & G ran alongside each other in the catalogue for many years, are you saying they were produced by different teams throughout the period? [nt]

I’m going to have to correct our GTG organiser in saying a mistake has been made!!!...
It’s not a 5524R you see but my wife’s 7234R. Thank you so much Gordon for organising the get together. It just added yet further to our fantastic Singapore trip. It was great to meet the other fellow purists too, if you need help with anything UK related...
Thanks rolandc for the lovely and informative posts on the...
this very important Grand Exhibition to us Patek fans, especially the ones in Asia.
Hi John and Emmeline, You are most welcome and thanks to you guys for joining us Asian PuristS in sharing bubbly, stories/information, and most importantly...
friendship ! Looking forward to our next GTG wherever and whenever it may be !
Interesting picture as it proves what I already knew
my eye is magnetically drawn directly to a dial with a lion on it. I am (unhappily) in love with that watch. Secondly I was surprised how good that 3450 looks. I have no interest in the PC complication. That watch just looks SO good, and to me, even much ...
Hi Christian, do you mean you are in love this baby below ? Here is a ...
closeup to test your level of love ❤️ ! 😇 ...
To me it is still the best of these dials I have seen
YES - I am in love. The motif, the color palette and the art work behind it. It really captures my eye and mind 🥰
Yes it is!
And I think of you often, as my best friend lives in HK. I had planned to go there this year. And it was my plan to try to meet. Circumstances made my trip impossible but we are talking about a visit in the new year. Be prepared, I will bring the beer 😉😊 ...
Excellent! Await this GTG ! The enamel lion 🦁 needs more than...
beer ! It wants to pounce on an animal !!
Thanks Gordon for the invite
Thoroughly enjoyed the GTG, my first and hoping not the last. Fantastic to hear each and every one's story with their PP, glad to have my 5990 next to all the other classics.. Ian
Hi Karl, you DEFINITELY need the 5131G after what I shall reveal to you below !!
Antia Porchet (aka the most famous and the best enameler for watches worldwide) told me at the Exhibition that she and her team made the dials for 5131G !!
No worries, Anita said she designed and supervised ...
the process all the way ! Each has her DNA. Just get it ! 5131G has the most colors and best gradations ! I have studied each of the four metals up close and personal.
That was those secret elves that were slaving away and
Could only make 40 dials a year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yes, two different teams I believe
J started out with a mother and son team based on what T Stern said in an earlier interview Guess when G and J were produced at the same time, the Anita Porchet team joined
I way over paid but the enthusiasm of auction got the better
Of me. Tick off the list
So sorry I missed it Gordon!
Hey was my buddy from UK John there? I noticed his 5960 and his wife's 7234R or perhaps it is just a coincidence?! My favourite watch there is your 5131G!
We missed you much Sham !! Yes...
John and his lovely wife came with there lovely watches BTW, the 5131G is not mine, but my lurker friend's and is one that I sourced for him - I brought my Rousseau enamel lion
That is the most traveled lion around!! :-)
Hope to see you in Kuala Lumpur one day soon Gordon!
well, let's see...Rousseau enamel lion has been to Singapore, Hong Kong,...
New York, Toronto, and Kuala Lumpur Perhaps it needs to go to France to pay homage to Rousseau ??
Great idea!
I will be in Paris in December or January to meet Nico, Mike H and Mahesh so if you can make it, that would be a treat!
Thanks Seconds for explaining why the Lion was so lost ! Its master was...
eyeing other Patek candy !!
You will make the lion jealous look at the eyes watching you.
Best Regards Happy Christmas and New year to you and everyone.
Hi seconds, The Rousseau lion 🦁 knows that it is my....
favorite enamel dial ! No need for it to be jealous !!
Dear GLau, Thank you for telling me the Rousseau lion is your favorite .
You said the master was eyeing other Patek candy!! The lion looked sad. When you have a quiet moment you can whisper into the lions ear that it your favourite it might cheer the lion up to know this. please let me know if this works. LOL.
Yes Exactly
The 36 mm 3970’is quite thick for its size. It is a grail watch of mine. I happen to be wearing its cousin today. ...
How about the 5970 Whopper!!
That is a large hamburger we have here in the USA from Burger King. I have never eaten one. The look good in TV. Lol.
This piece is the limited edition for advance research !!
5450P The color of the dial is so great ! I was so proud to have brokered this piece for two PuristS friends !
