Green Envy - Patek Philippe 5971P

Jun 29, 2020,07:41 AM
 

Dear All, 


It has been a while since I last posted.

Since this year was a Leap Year, one might not know that my late dad was a Leap Year boy! He was born on Wednesday, Feb 29th and had a β€œreal” birthday only every four years.  He always teased us that he was younger than us because he had the right to count his age every 4 years πŸ˜‚

Being a Wednesday boy, his favorite color was green!  But then again... he also love other colors as well...hence a complete set of 5971P, diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald.

Thank you for sharing a beautiful collection...

I would like to know if you know why the ruby 5971 is the only one with a red counter hand? Is it a different series comparing to the other 3?

A request
