My first watch ever. 5496P-015
Hey there 👋 Just wanted to share quickly my story. I have been living in Geneva for the last 12y and working 2mn walk from Patek Salon. I am 41 and never had a watch before. Always though my first one would be a Patek PC and I would buy it some day when I...

Warm welcome here and huge congrats on this beautiful PC.

That's a hell of a first watch : )
I am a big fan of this reference because of the two-tone and the way it displays the information. I have a feeling there are still some at ADs and there might be some good pricing too...
I am happy that you are happy!
The 5496 looks good on you, and I think gold-plat or gold-gold TT looks great. Have a good weekend!
