Don't resist, Fancois, they are made for you.
Now, it is just a question of time, but face it, mly friend, you're obsessed by these beauties.
And you're right... Coming from Patek, or VC, these are the epitome of the elegant watch, a bit precious, maybe, but so tempting.
Play your game, stop looking at them!
Best,

2 pink 2526 , kind of perfection.
I think this post could please some fellow purist Patek enthusiast ( Arthur, Roni etc ) Some months ago I had the luck to have two pink gold 2526 in hand (not mine, a Munich reseller) I thank Mr Meertz for this great moment. I am very sensitive to case di...

Give me some time ;)
For sure I am obsessed but I need to make my way through it. I love the 2526, but I also like a less regarded 2481 a classic round with a concav bezel, I do love the extrem simplicity of a square 2488 (chocolate square)... etc etc and my grail is maybe th...
Can an automatic watch be better than that? !
Love the 2540 which is not too small for a vintage square watch, nice "presence" on the wrist and fantastic "galbe". Your 2526 dial is amazing ! real beauties cheers Francois
The eternal dilemma, indeed.
I don't see you letting your Rolex 1675 go... Yours is such a beast! Take your time, build your project, that is so good! It will be even part of the satisfaction you will feel when you get YOUR watch. Wish you the best of luck, my friend. Nicolas.
Wow!
Thanks Francois, agree the 2526 is indeed a classic. I'm not a fan of bracelets on watches but on this one I must confess it does indeed look rather nice!! Roni
Thanks Roni
Well bracelet and colored gold watches is still something I have problem with, but I suppose it is cultural. There is a bunch of different bracelet for the 2526 which is another detail which makes this reference special, all done by Gay Frere if I am not ...
Here is the pic from the old catalogue in 60's
You can find type"F" and "K". Both types are for 2526s. There are nie types of bracelet that were used for 2526. I have no idea about B, E anf H.....
The best calatrava design ever seen !!! Thanks for sharing
I agree totally - this is the best case design AND the best dial layout of Calatrava from Patek I ever seen. No doubts. I only wish one day Patek issues something similar in its modern collection. Francois, my congratulation with your perfect 2526. Thank ...
Wow Francois,..what a treat to see 2 Pink 2526 in one shot,..
Yes, I completely agree with your assessment of this wonderful reference. To see one in the flesh is sheer perfection. Thx very much for sharing. Cheers, Arthur arolex
