Begin your own tradition!!!
Lovely post. It reminds me of my response to getting my first PP recently. I kept playing with it & admiring it whenever I was free. Don’t know about the “start your own tradition” bit as my daughters’ response to this endless & unabashed admiration was a “get over it dad”!!! She was taken aback that at this price, I actually had to wind the watch!!! She is still into bling but hopefully.........FWIW I think that if one is limited to only one totally classic watch it would be the 5196P. Just can’t get over it.
I’m still waiting the paperwork. So forgive me for asking something which may be obvious or common knowledge. I note that in addition to the diamond, there is a number (Pt 950), a diamond shaped emblem & another emblem with the letters ? (PPCe)on the rear of your watch. I have something similar on the rear of the lugs. Could anyone tell me what they signify.
thanks

i love it !!! A lot of congrats on such a nice Patek. That dial looks stunning .... Filip
Congratulations!
Stephen, that is surely one of the nicest "simple" PPs -- one of the nicest period, IMHO. What a great first choice! It kind of toes the line between the round and rectangular "debate" that is going on elsewhere on the forums here, doesn't it? What a wond...
Congratulations Stephen
Hi Stephen, Congratulations for choosing such a marvel ! I've loved it since I put it on my wrist on the opening day of Basel 2007! I hope to offer myself a Patek Philippe someday and I'd be happy to pick this one first, even if there are some more reacha...
Beautiful piece Stephen :-).....
Congratulation. I have tried this once on my wrist and I must say it is simply gorgeous. The Dial work is as beautiful as a Dufour Simplicity........it glows And when it turns to the back, what a beautiful rec movement. But most importantly, this watch si...
this is a nice one
If my bankaccount would allow it, I would probably buy this piece. Saw it once IRL and I loved it
Congratulations, Stephen!
Wow! I've always loved the Chronometro Gondolo. The look, the simplicity and especially, the "tonneau" shape of the case. It was beautiful in 20's and it is beautiful still, today. The guillochéed dial is an amazing example of craftsmanship. Although it d...

Thanks for the photo my friend!
From the lighting in this photo, the watch looks patinated in a way(especially at bezel around 6o'clock), and the Platinum seems to have turned liquid yet hold its form! And i love this effect! It looks even antiquated here, and totally gorgeous! Nice cat...

Your 5196P, is indeed a very beautiful and nice choice as well! I had the opportunity to handle it once again this evening, and thoroughly enjoyed feeling it so much! As for your questions, I am able to help you in some of them. About the diamond at 6 o'c...
