My wrist is pretty small tbh, it's just enough to hold it. 🙈
Getting into the Patek world
So I've always wanted to get a Patek since I started my journey in the horological world. Back then my choice was between VC 85180 rg and Patek 5119R, I bought the former as I think it's much more to my taste than the 5119. Fast forward I've learned so mu...
My advice would be
buy what you like and what you rocks your boat. Ignore the reviews and the 'experts'. You are the best expert when it comes to expending your hard earned money. The 6119 is a good watch if you have a large enough wrist to wear it. The long lugs coupled by...
Awesome! Looks great on your wrist.
The hobnail bezel is really nice. I’ve never owned a watch with a hobnail bezel but I think there might be one of my future. It exudes class. Where in the best of health. Congratulations.

Here's for instance my 5124, not the most lively watch on its own, especially with the original strap that came with it to match the salmon dial...So upon purchasing it (many years ago), my AD and I ordered from Patek a flashy red strap for it, which I LO...
Congratulations and welcome to the Patek owners’ club !
The new Calatrava is a good choice for a watch with a classic and timeless look. Love the Clous de Paris design on the bezel ! Enjoy it often !
Thanks GLau!
It's quite different from the usual patek calatrava, but it's so beautiful. Gonna enjoy it thanks!
