I start to appreciate the watch (dial, case and buckle) more and more each time I wear it. Hope to see more variation on this model from Patek in the near future.

A very special Patek

  After years of appreciation of the craftsmanship and skills which go into making these rare handcraft pieces, I feel very fortunate to be able to acquire this 5088/100P.  The watch features a black enamel dial which is engraved with a volute and arabesq...  

Huge congrats Huei on landing this rare handcraft piece !

The engraving looks superb and must be a joy to stare at ! The fact that it tells time also is an added bonus ! 🤣 The watch sits well on your wrist and hope that you enjoy it often.

Very nice watch. Wonderful picture. 👍

Huge congratulations. It's a winner of a Calatrava. Fits your wrist nicely. Like very much the design. Cheers. 🥂🍾 Geross.

Congrats! [nt]

Thanks so much for sharing this, and my sincere, major congrats!! ;-) This is the Patek production I love, and yours is another magnificent example of the rare handcraft series!

On a technical note for everyone, this 5088/100P version does appear in the regular catalog and is officially not limited, unlike the earlier release of this series, ref. 5088P. However, like all rare handcrafts, a 5088/100P remains *extremely* rare to so... 

Beautiful watch

I just watched a youtube video yesterday where a large concern just got one of these in, displayed it and said it was amazing and rare.

Congratulations!

provided a photo of your 5088P. Do you know how many pieces were made for your reference ?

Hi Gordon,

No one can say with any certainty, but I do remember the number 25 was the rumor during year of release. I have friends who had initially been told they would receive a piece but later that turned out not to be the case due to limit being reached by patek... 

Thanks for sharing your beauty.

Love that symmetrical engraving dial very much too!

Huge congrats on a fantastic catch! Stunning piece 👌🏻

Enjoy it in the best health, and don't forget to share it with us 😉

Congratulations!

Beautiful engraving, a real piece of wrist art!

The dial is beautiful but the case engraving is spectacular!

I would love to see that as an option on any watch, even those with a 'regular' face.
