Eclectic at its best. Respect!
Love that group shot. Thanks a lot for sharing with us, Ron! Oliver
Really nice !
The jumping hour caught my eye. I heard a banker used his fortune to pay for that watch. Are you that banker ? =p.
Banker..
Hi, Thanks for the comments...Far from being a banker...have safari lodges and a few other things in the middle of Africa!! Roni
The banker was infact a student, but his hobby was the ...
stock exchange. His first name starts with a C :-) Cheers, Oliver
Hi Roni, for me, out of the four, I really like the looks of...
... the first two on the left The jumping hour is unusual and well designed While the "layered rings" on the case of the second watch is eye-popping and has the WOW factor. BTW, what is the reference of this watch ?? Cheers, Gordon
Ref. 3969 with cal. 215 ...
from 1989 and one of the pieces presented for the 150th Anniversary.
Thank you Oliver for the info !! How many ...
... different references (other than caliber 89) were made for 150th anniversary ? Thanks, Gordon
The answer is ...
3960, 3969, 3974, 3979, 4760, 4761, 4762. Which you can read about here: Best, Oliver
hmmm .....
.... there was also 3718 in steel with enamel dial. 3923 steel with dark grey dial for the Japanese market. the ladies version of 3960 is 4860 & 4861.
"3718 ... 3923"
Those haven´t been part of the official anniversary catalogue, at least not the German one I have. But you never know what they did for special markets ... :-) Thanks! Oliver
More Layered rings
Thanks...Some more of the 1950's layered rings genre... From the left...2550,2549,another variant of the 2549 too thanks Roni ...
Thanks, Roni
For your generous sharing. As a young member, I have never seen Pateks like yours. Those Pateks with concentric rings on the bezel are an eye opener for me. Are any of them automatic ? Or all hand wound ? Cheers.
Many thanks Roni, the one with...
...the guilloche dial is just so delicious !! Thanks for sharing Gordon

Is it safe to assume that you are still searching for the one we discussed years ago? No to worry: "Someday your prince will come" ;-) Miki
There are outstanding pieces and one from the 150th Anniversary shown ...
and therefore I thought it could be nice to use it as our new masthead photo. Roni I hope that is fine for you and also that I photoshoped it. Cordially, Oliver ...
Thank you..
I'm so humbled you have selected the image for the masthead...thank you! I'm sorry it was such a poor pic in the first instance. Thanks ever so much, Roni
Nice hodge-podge!
Some pieces you never see anymore...until perhaps the anniversary. -Dean
