Patek Philippe

Earlier this year I acquired a gorgeous Patek 5056 P, which I love and wear almost almost every day. My father, now in his mid-70s, used to be "into" watch collecting when I was a kid but mostly more "modest" names and pieces he'd find at local antique sh...

I wrote about my 3940 and its importance awhile back Big big congrats to your Dad who has excellent tastes!

My J says hello today ;-) ...  

At the same time, 16 years old... he has time to buy his first PP (even if it is never too early). Best wishes Alkiro

I gotta say though, I think your dad has the (very slightly) better taste here!
