Is this a crazy obsession or what
I will present 2 watches .
One is a SS watch with an outdated "complication" which is of no use to anyone at all
The second is a gold watch with a stunning automatic movement
If you should ask 99% of watch collectors, I would hazard a guess and say the mojority would value no 2 way above no1
However as most of us here know no 1 ranks way above no2.
Why??
Who knows
They are both just a beautiful- similar case and similar face
ref 3417
ref 2584

Crazy obsession? Nooo!!! :)))
The 3417 is very high in my list. A superb Watch, which I would love to get, to do side by side pictures with my Geophysic.. Wait,, maybe I don't have to wait to get mine for such a picture... I wouldn't say that amagnetism is not of anyone's use anymore....
Similar, but still different ...
Just look at the material of the case, the indexes, the 12 ... but both have great inner values and are beautiful, classical watches. It´s all about the details! The crown of your 2584 is one of my favorites and if there would be one in white metal ... in...

Because 27AM400 is probably the most desiderable manual movement by Patek Philippe (and not only) certainly in the 12 lignes category. Because steel Patek Philippe wristwatches are much more appreciated and rare than the yellow gold ones. This is the same...
