Patek Philippe

But never mind, it's simply my (all-time) favorite watch 😳😄 ...  

Truth to be told, popularity is of no concern for me. It's a way to speak about this watch that I particularly like, and to share one or two (I hope) nice photos.

that these were probably the last classical Calatravas. I think that's right. But I'm not as sure as you are that there won't be more in the future!
