It is the Reference that launched me into all the other Pateks.

Downsizing a collection….

 
 By: jmerce : May 7th, 2022-16:52
This topic certainly has been discussed before! I’ve decided to downsize/consolidate to just a few watches for a number of reasons but one of them is my eyesight!! I used to enjoy looking at all the complications - but at almost 59 years young, it’s hard ...  

Great selection jmerce ! 👍 Both are full of

hard to read for me also 🤣

What a magnificent two-watch collection that anyone would be very very luck (and proud) to have!

I cannot think of anything else I would want if I had these two! The question is if you had to choose just one to used for a year which will it be?

Amazing answer! It is exquisite!

I “Cleaned House” of my less-than-loved watches a couple of years ago. I am down to three and do not regret the decision in the slightest. Your choice to retain the Patek 2556 is very admirable. That is a classic watch that can be enjoyed ( and read) for ... 

🙏 thank you.

A great duo collection, Jmerce!

Guess in certain stage of our horology journey, consolidation is inevitable. 2525 and 3800 are excellent choice of time only Patek. Though it will be nice to keep one complication reference, say 5050 too. It’s display is relatively easier to read and comp... 

Superb duo 😍🔥🔥
