Patek Philippe: Reference 3699: Philippe Stern’s special request

Amazing piece
What is remarkable to me is how ahead of their time Patek was when it comes to watch design back then. Timeless beauty!
Perfection
and interesting that he could have chose any metal for this and he chose yellow gold
Thank you for sharing this piece unique!
Absolutely stunning! Both inside and out! OK, not much left of my socks after this one.... Looking forward to part three! Best Blomman
That pretty much left me sockless Imran
The movement together with the stepped case and Breguet numeral dial appears to be the pinnacle I have put another pair of socks on and await your next masterpiece patiently( well almost patiently) Julian
Thanks for sharing.
To me, this is a peerless watch. I feel a lot for this watch, but have almost no words. Speechless? Best, Brandon
Thanks again Imran for a wonderful and informative post !
This reference has pure Patek DNA of being timeless with understated elegance ! Cheers, Gordon
Great report on a superb watch.
As one member said, it is interesting that of all the metals he chose YG. The watch has a fabulous visual balance to my eye. Again....thnaks for these great reviews. A constant education.
This photo is better 😉
I took this photo secretly at the Patek Museum. I'm the only one in the world who has it. Now I'm happy to share some posts with you. Have a nice day. Everyone.
