Patek Philippe: My personal story of 25 years since I bought my first Patek- watch no 1
It was in 1992 that I bought my first Patek Philippe- a reference 3796 in rose gold with a beautiful rose dial. I 24 years old and here I was with David Duggan,the man responsible for my initial education in the brand I would grow to love. My interest in ...
A mundane 3796 is actually a "mondän" 3796 in German, which means lavish
Curious to read other parts of your story ...
Thank you for this very interesting and sweet story Imran
This 3796 in this livery is absolutely gorgeous. A splendid jewel. Simple, pure and timeless with so much warmth. Best wishes Alkiro
Acually
the perfect watch in every respect. I wish I had several were they were available.
Wonderful story. Congratulations on Silver Anniversary!
Hope to hear more. And of course the Silver Anniversary requires a beautiful gift. 😁
Great story. I suspect others have a unique experience which led him/her down this horological path of ours...perhaps a new thread???
Imran, what do we need to do to identify this mystery wise-man?
Alas I do not know, he was probably in late 60's when I met him
Would be late 80's /90 now I would like to think
Dear Miramda,
Thank you for sharing your first with us! Absolutely stunning watch! I wish I would have been that insightful at young age and would have had such guidance as well. Best Blomman
Thanks Imran
No such thing as a mundane watch, esp with a back history like yours I love hearing the journey into the minute world of collecting esp PP and Rolex I hope to see more of your journey soon Julian
Thanks Imran....
.....it is always interesting to see how different collectors started and what influenced them.
Thank you for this wonderful story..
It's great to read about experiences of other people and how they came about...I do feel you were fortunate to experience a face-to-face with knowledgeable people as that gave you the opportunity to understand why it was such a great and beautiful brand.....
Perhaps a coincidence
But I too bought my first Patek (3520D) from David Duggan in March 1992
