Patek Philippe Twenty 4 (ref. 4910/10a-001) Sorry guys, I know it's a quartz one. But the combination of "bling", convenience and brand name definitely has its magic. My wife loves it!...

Dear Oliver, Apart from Patek stating on their site: The price of the service varies depending on the complexity of the timepiece. both of us can indeed just make assumptions on how the prices are calculated in detail. I did not intend to complain about t... 

Was a 40th birthday present to my wife and she is still loving it…. ...
