Patek Philippe

I gave in and finally bought the Patek I have thought about again and again for years. And I'm so happy - she may be shiny, she may be simple, she may be brash but she makes me smile! - How about you? ...  

Nice one, congrats and enjoy!

Best wishes on your watch purchase. Geross

It’s much rarer than the 011 for me. Well played 👍 Big congratulations for this new Patek. Really happy for you after a so long wait. And warm welcome here by the way. Best wishes Alkiro

Mosts 5085's are SS with a Black face and they remain very popular - only occasionally do you see a gold one and mostly with a white face but this has a grey face. Regards

You’re absolutely right, with the light, I thought the dial was black but I would say that in grey it’s even better. It works very well with the gold case and bracelet. Very nice. Best wishes Alkiro

....what a beauty. Best from the UK, John.

and off the beaten track. Well done!

......seems there may have only been 100 of the 5085/1J made!! Great catch. John.

there is nothing more to add...big congrats. Cheers D

Congratulations to a nobel full yellow gold Patek.

It is an unusual version (especially these numerals) and this is nice to see you have reached acquiring a dream watch of yours! The bracelet looks very comfortable, as other bracelets from the brand are (Nautilus, 5960...). Enjoy it well now Best, Mark

Many thanks for all your comments and encouragement. It is a super comfy bracelet and as soon as I put it on it felt at home. She feels like a long term keeper. I have to admit though I have had another watch all these 10 years and haven't been wandering ...
