You have a great collection with some rare pieces, such as the 5131. Cheers Gordon

This write up proves that Patek at times used movements from JLC. Nothing wrong with that it proves JLC is also a very good brand. 2nd to Patek , my opinion. Cheers & best to all. Geross.

This kind of posts make it worth to visit this page. Best, Kari

You have a very nice Patek collection. Do not hesitate to post others photos of your marvels. Cheers, Patrickh

It is full of history and information. For example, I did not know Patek previously had the face of a person printed/engraved on the moon phase disc. Thank god, they do not do it anymore. Best Jim

I discussed about this one lately with a fellow purist and this is for sure a fantastic square Patek. Cheers, Mark

Dear All, Many thanks for your kind works. This will certainly encourage me to publish a little bit more often. I have several articles of same vein that I posted elsewhere. I just need to find the time to translate and update them. Kind regards, DCC
