Patek Philippe

I must admit that I was enamored by this reference since it was introduced in 2007. I love the strong vintage look and also the story of the Brazilian *Gondolo Gang*, their lottery system etc. The king of the show is of course the stunning hand turned gui...  

...this is a watch for an admirer of watches and beauty...

has a vintage vibe and is so lovely ! div>Will you spice it up with a colorful strap in the future ?

Considering reaching out to my trusted gator strap maker and order burgundy and darker lime green.....also considering a true chestnut brown as the current brown strap is "very" dark.

Your photos are wonderful, not only showing the great beauty and charm of the rose gold version, but also the "naked" case and the screwed strap and buckle bars. I didn't know you liked this reference so much, but obviously I understand why and it's defin... 

Not sure what was happening but I was getting the

Its my first post on WatchProsite...it all started with a link to Quattro's post on the 5098, sent by my friend Marc . It's certainly helped me decide to buy this model. 18k gold dial, hand applied guilloche, blackened 18k gold hands , gold cartouche plus... 

and congratulations on this choice: I really think the 5098 is a very special reference. You can’t go wrong with either the rose gold or the platinum variant: which one did you choose? Anyway, I’m glad if our posts have been helpful. Best regards, Emmanue... 

Am getting the 5098r, because I get more vintage vibes from it and the pictures of the museum piece makes me feel its closer to the original production. Its also a little cheaper!! I hope to lock the deal very soon...I can't wait to have it on my wrist. L... 

And I also like your three other pieces very much: you have a great collection, to which the 5098R will be a strong addition. Congratulations. I hope you'll be able to close the deal very soon. Best, Emmanuel

Received my 5098r over the weekend...there's something about the rose gold colour against sunlight and in dim lighting...absolutely gorgeous. I hope the picture comes out fine on this post. If not ill try again. In the meantime, i need advice on how many ...  

Congratulations, I'm very happy for you. Concerning the winding, I would recommend to look at the movement (crown wheel, ratchet wheel and click) while winding: it will let you see how efficient your winding is. The power reserve of the watch is small: ma... 

Will take the advice and do that more brave act of winding this morning....

So i had a friend who is a watch dealer to help me. We looked at the beautiful details of the dial and movement under a microscope, just mind blowing...and how Patek details are pain stakingly done to the highest standards. Also learnt how to feel the cro...  

And it makes a very beautiful duo with your L.U.C Quattro. I'm glad you found help and can now enjoy your watch fully. Best, Emmanuel

I just spotted your reply in my old thread and I'm very happy to hear that you found one as well. Also happy that Emmanuel and I were able to nudge your decision 😎. Sincere congratulations again and I hope you will wear it in a good health for a long long... 

You have a wonderful collection...and I'm glad I had a chance to read your words and Emmanuale's on the 5098. Buying your first Patek is a wonderful journey, and this platform provides valuable insights to people all over the world. Certainly..I'm already... 

This is a wonderful community to belong to. 🤝

The dial is just insane and the gallouche on the inner dial is just beautiful as is the whole watch, those lug bars remind me of early Panerai's. Wear and enjoy it in good health. iv> div> Marc

Huge congratulations, and welcome to the club!

What a charming reference. Glad you've finally got one after all these years!

Big fan of these case designs

..... and just to spice things up a little bit I just ordered dark lime green and burgundy gator straps from my custom strap maker...

This is really the watch of a connoisseur, I am not surprised you love it… 😉 What a classy watch! The only thing that surprises me is that… it took you 21 years to pull the trigger 😂😂 But you did so well to do it now, I am sure you will enjoy it tremendou...
