Patek Philippe

Hi fellas, as my post number 1000 approached I started a lot of consideration where to post it... I am torn between PP and Omega. So I made the decision to post 2 special watches, one on the PP forum will receive number 999 and the 1000th post will be on ...  

But, before going on the Omega forum, a few words about this Vintage PP. I'm not a colored gold but what's not to love here? The delicately worked lugs, contrasting with the simple, sober beauty of the dial, that is indeed a keeper. A piece which reveals ... 

Thank you for the kind words my friend! Glad you like it. See you on the Omega forum - post is ready now... kind regards Erich

Love those old PP cases with "flair" Off to Omega forum now Julian

Hi Julian, I know that you are also a "vintage guy" with beautiful pieces! It is a pity that there are so few vintage lovers here on this forum - it is completely different on the Omega forum - there we discuss mainly vintage pieces - interesting differen...

Hi Jerome, I appreciate your kind comment and I also agree with what you wrote about PP watches. This is the reason why I have several pieces in my collection I do not collect modern Omegas, vintage only. And there are incredible pieces, both in aesthetic... 

... thanks for posting this beautiful "flame" PP. my knowledge on PP is very little. your PP looks very nice to me. by the way, how to call the lugs. to me at my sight it looks like drumstick (sorry for ignorance)? stefan

Hi Stefan, thank you for your kind comments. The name of this model derived from the shape of the lugs which look like flames... kind regards erich

Thanks for sharing. I think vintage Patek is a fantastic world to dive into. I am just looking at it for the moment, maybe it will be more concrete one day . cheers Francois

Hi Francois, it is the right time to start now! 1) Vintage pieces are smaller than the contemporary ones - so they can be bought much cheaper as fashion commands large pieces now... 2) Due to the financial crisis some people have to sell now... a chance t...
