Enjoy your time with these pieces.

Like Father, Like Son - and Vice Versa!
Earlier this year I acquired a gorgeous Patek 5056 P, which I love and wear almost almost every day. My father, now in his mid-70s, used to be "into" watch collecting when I was a kid but mostly more "modest" names and pieces he'd find at local antique sh...
That is a great story. Thank you for sharing it.
Best of health to you and your father and obviously the up and coming mini you - future collector. Bill
3940 is a great piece, congratulations
I wrote about my 3940 and its importance awhile back Big big congrats to your Dad who has excellent tastes!
Its good your dad bought a Patek.
Grand complication. Its about time he enjoys life. Let go of deprivations of the past. At 70s he must fill the void of his desires. I am very happy about your tale. I know some people who are well off yet they buy poor watches cause there wives wont let t...

I love your story...

Rose gold 3940
is one of the finest Patek references. Simply a fantastic watch. Congratulations to your old man. Best, Kari
Great story
We share the same taste in watches. I also got the 5056P but a long time ago. It was my daily wear until I got my perpetual calendar. For some reason, I did not like the 5140 and was looking into the 3940 also before getting the 5550.
Now, your son knows which brand he has to buy if he wants to enter in your family competition ;-)
At the same time, 16 years old... he has time to buy his first PP (even if it is never too early). Best wishes Alkiro
What a great story...
I gotta say though, I think your dad has the (very slightly) better taste here!
