Dear Reuven,
I am remembering very well for that moment when he bought it because I was also there in Vienna, I am still remembering my Father’s voice during the negotiations with the seller: “zu teuer”.😀😃😄
And I am also remembering very well when my Father took out his money from his pocket: after the cash was on the desk everything went smoothly. Typical old school like my Father was!
Everything was in 2011 if my memory serves well…
Just because
it was my Father’s watch, therefore it is the most beautiful Patek - at least for me: Very simple but very, very elegant and modest at the same time: Yours and HAGWE, Adam ...
Hi Adam, your father's now your
Calatrava is beautiful ! It is pure Patek DNA and the Clous de Paris is just lovely ! How long have you had it and do you get to enjoy it often ?
Dear GLau,
many thanks for your compliments also in the name of my late Father! Yes, the Clous de Paris is very-very delicate! I have had it since my Father’s dead, since 2020. Brings me golden memories back to the years when he was alive. I wear it very rare, only ...
Seems like their "you never actually own a Patek Philippe
you merely look after it for the next generation" has truth here. A stunningly elegant watch!

Haha too funny. I remember this time very well. Imo the peak time for PP.
Thanks for sharing this story!
Thank you very much, Larry!
Yes, it is a very special piece for me, part of my heart and my Father’s heart…
The 3919 is the first PP I could identify,
and got me "hooked" to PP until now, more or less. Chk
Yes, this is an absolutely lovely watch!
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
this is a beautiful watch
I was offered one at a AD in SG in the late '90s. I declined as I was looking for a WG piece at that time. One of my regrets in terms of watch collecting 😕
I usually tend to white gold pieces
but this watch is the most beautiful in the yellow gold version - just my 50 cents!
I found it a bit boring, too perfect at the beginning,
but now I find it as a timeless beauty!
I remember how for years this watch was advertised every day on page two of the New York Times
And that's how I fell in love with Patek Phillippe
