At the GTG I tried it on and thought...
highly of the 5212.
If you can get one, I would encourage you to do so.
Hello Patek fans, This rare piece belongs to a pseudo lurker (he wrote a few replies previously and has not posted for over a year) whom I met at a GTG recently. The story behind this piece is so wonderful because it…
demonstrates our unspoken bond via our horological passion. A little while back, I saw a 5212 from “horoloupe” on Instagram and was intrigued with the blue strap & how great it looked with the watch. Upon a closer inspection by enlarging the photo, I foun...
Great story. :)
The whole Tiffany stamp thing is something I simply don't understand - what's the attraction?
The rarity went up...
a couple of years ago when Tiffany was bought by a watch industry player. Wonder if the “change in control” clause existed and whether it would be triggered.
For some people, probably rarity is a factor, and also the special bond of the two brands, which goes back to the 1800's...Or much less romantically, today that extra "T" is somehow considered "fashionable", see e.g. Instagram... ;-)
Personally, I don't have a specific interest and never sought one, but I don't mind it and can understand why it's certainly more special/attractive to other collectors ;-) Cheers.
First thing I thought was Horoloupe?
We had dinner together and he told me he was acquiring the 5212. Tiffany stamp suits it well. Great guy and passionate collector
I was with you when my friend called me to surprise me with the 5212!
What a memorable night in London! Hoping I can come back soon and we can catch up over another meal! So much to learn from you my friend
Thanks for that charming story. I'm curious what people think about the 5212 -- those who've owned and worn it?
How would you describe your bond with this watch? I'm intrigued by the idea of its calendar, its layout, the fact that it's steel.
