I dedicate this 5100P acquisition to ch9698
May 09, 2016,04:36 AM
And I blame you for all the time, trouble and money that was needed to find a N.O.S. 5100P.
But now the original (too short) black strap is changed to a temporary one with folding clasp and the watch is on my wrist.
Thank you ch9698! And a couple of quick pictures:
Thank you for watching.
I love this watch!
Best, Kari

Very nice on your wrist Kari. A technically superior watch. Everything is well done. A collector's dream. Congratulations Kari. Cheers. Geross.
I believe so Kari.

good shot my friend
By: ch9698 : May 9th, 2016-05:35
huge congrats but now you have to reach the 3 other metals to have the whole set
I will pick this month
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-05:40
3 x new Patek in platinum, one in steel and one vintage. I think that will do for a month or what's your opinion? Best, Kari
That is not the case!
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-08:35
In a normal month I pick nothing. Now just the orders packed to one big bunch. After this month's Patek purchases, I will just get a GP + one JLC. In the end of the year I'll get one grand complication of Patek and probably one next spring. But I start to...
Congratulations Kari

a really nice model and the platinum case with black dial is awesome. The best combination to my taste too, even much more elegant than the WG case with blue dial IMHO after having seen both. Enjoy it for a long long time. This watch should take maybe mor...
Also my taste. Originally I wanted 5100G
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-05:36
but "grew" to 5100P. I'm happy like a small kid! Now in May I will still pick up 3 x platinum Patek from the Salon, one steel and then still one vintage. Crazy month. But I'm trying to get a couple of alternatives to my 5960A. Best, Kari
Kari, always a pleasure

to discover your new additions. Wait to learn more about them and I will follow your future posts. Enjoy very much this one until the next arrivals. Best, Patrickh
My future shopping list is not long:
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-06:08
Nautilus 40th Anniversary model, if any plus 3 x pt. watches. Unfortunately the latter ones are not cheap so I need to work for a while to collect the needed extra cash. But all in all. I start to have what I want. Best, Kari
After Nick lately, now a second one, we are spoiled! And tempted....
By: Mark in Paris : May 9th, 2016-09:18
Definitely an emblematic shaped Patek and I see that you got a very well fitted out version. You're now going to play with how you'll dress the case with straps and I'"m looking forward to see that. The decoration of this movement and the way it holds the...
Thanks Mark. A set of
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-09:24
not-so-conventional straps were ordered today through Patek Salon. The folding clasp will sit perfectly when thenstrap is 80 x 125 mm. Funny how the length needs to be a little bit adjusted according to the size and the shape of the case. Flying soon home...
I imagine it will need special adjustments indeed
By: Mark in Paris : May 9th, 2016-13:58
We had summer weather yesterday but cloudy today! Have a nice flight (will pass quickly with this new watch on your wrist). Cheers, Mark PS: I love this little "closet" for those anniversary references.
The closet is nice
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-15:03
but I liked also the booklets. There's a small book with a big picture of manta. I remember when I saw it for the first time when diving. It's really impressive and perhaps the watch can't impress in the same way but for sure, it's far away of being stand...

and with great pleasure. Kari
You pulled the trigger,Kari

Its not very common for me to like a non-round watch but this is super,Congratulations ) Best, Ahmed
Dear Ahmed, I am a hunter
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-11:17
and thus I squeese the trigger. By pulling the trigger, it's easy to miss. Thanks, Kari

i've always loved the 10 day power reserve. With all your beautiful pieces you can start your own museum, charge a modest entrance fee and recoup some change and out toward your next acquisition. Aloha. Bob
You speak like Business Priest Bob...
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-11:45
No, I will not start a museum. But I can take next autumn 10 pieces or so to Lapland in order to let you play with those. Naturally, I'll take some selected pieces to Honolulu next July. We can play with those then. Summer arrived Europe. It's sunny and w...
LOL A business priest. That's good one.
By: masterspiece : May 9th, 2016-22:29
I look forward to playing in Hawaii and Lapland. The weather is great here. Balmy trades, some light showers every now and then, beautiful blue skies and surf is good. BTW. Now that you've had some time to settle in, how is your old age? Aloha, Bob
My joints are a bit stiff
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-22:48
but luckily a medicine has been invented: a piece on platinum on the wrist helps. Seriously: some busy days. Before the holidays should visit London, Paris, Switzerland, Singapore... pick up the new car and also work a bit. But spring is the time of optim...
Oh my word
By: Poky : May 9th, 2016-12:50
What an exceptional watch.
Thanks Poky, yes 5100
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-15:00
is an important reference in the history of Patek. The case is different and very nice and the movement is exceptional. Best, Kari
Congratulations!
By: NML77 : May 9th, 2016-19:21
This is an amazing watch. I just got the 5100g recently and could not be happier with it. Enjoy Nick
I remember your 5100G
By: dr.kol : May 9th, 2016-22:19
and it's a great colour combination. I had for a long time difficulties to decide which one. Enjoy yours. Best, Kari
Your collection is growing faster and faster
By: COUNT DE MONET : May 10th, 2016-01:54
Congratulations to this cool Patek! This time the strap combination is a bit too modern looking. The original in a fitting length would be my choice. Best Moritz
Dear Moritz
By: dr.kol : May 10th, 2016-02:03
I agree with you. This is a temporary one and Patek straps are on order - including the original one. Very often they know what is fitting with the watch. Best, Kari
So how about

Respect your privacy and humbleness, can\'t wait to see your next acquisition.
Nothing spectacular
By: dr.kol : May 10th, 2016-02:24
but something rare, something very rare and something common. Naturally, rarity is nice when the whole queue in the grocery store is not wearing the same but rarity is not a reason to buy watches. My one and only criteria is that I need to like enough to ...
I need to admit:
By: dr.kol : May 10th, 2016-13:36
I was offered the watch you speak about last year. I nearly took it but after sleeping a couple of nights, I informed that in my opinion Nautilus is made of steel. Now when I have been sleeping 180 nights more, I contacted Patek last week to ask if they s...
Wow!
By: thomaspp : May 10th, 2016-07:49
Soo nice! Enjoy it!
Many congrats!
By: Conkers : May 27th, 2016-18:29
I am delighted this went to a good home. John also assisted me before I bought it originally but ultimately I never wore it and it was languishing in the safe. My loss is your gain!
Thanks Conkers.

I'm wearing mine a lot - I like it! Best, Kari

I sold my 5100p as well. Not sure maybe it's the same one! Lol

requires a "fatso" wrist and I have it. I can't imagine that this watch would look very good on a lightly built wrist. Best, Kari
Kari congrats !

My favourite 10 days Patek . The Pt version rocks !! Wear it in best of health!
I love your love for this watch Kari!
