Patek Philippe

I think this post could please some fellow purist Patek enthusiast ( Arthur, Roni etc ) Some months ago I had the luck to have two pink gold 2526 in hand (not mine, a Munich reseller) I thank Mr Meertz for this great moment. I am very sensitive to case di...

You can find type"F" and "K". Both types are for 2526s. There are nie types of bracelet that were used for 2526. I have no idea about B, E anf H.....

I agree totally - this is the best case design AND the best dial layout of Calatrava from Patek I ever seen. No doubts. I only wish one day Patek issues something similar in its modern collection. Francois, my congratulation with your perfect 2526. Thank ... 

Not mine , I was just wandering in a "candy shop" Francois

Yes, I completely agree with your assessment of this wonderful reference. To see one in the flesh is sheer perfection. Thx very much for sharing. Cheers, Arthur arolex
