It's a complaint made by people throughout history. My user name is taken from a play by Oscar Wilde in which the character referred to that day's 'age of surfaces' to bemoan its superficiality.

16 years with my Patek Philippe 5110P.
I won't tell you again how and where I got my 5110P, you know the story by heart, as I repeat it each year. No, the most important is that it is one of my favorite Patek, if not THE Patek for me, and that the love story becomes stronger and stronger with ...
Stunning watch. I genuinely like them
I know I want one But I don’t know the story of how you’ve got yours? ...
Yes, this 5110P is your....
eternal love ❤️ ! Please say your vows to each other again ! 😇
Lovely post, my friend.
It’s definitely a very beautiful WT. For me, it’s a close call between 5110P and 5130P. Luckily, I don’t have to make a decision. May you enjoy yours for a long time. Best, V.
😂
I don’t have to make a decision because I won’t be buying any of those two. Love both but, as a general rule, I’m only buying new from AD.
Fantastic post...
I had the VC World Time for a time and prefer your Patek. Better legibility and size and quite frankly, more elegant.
Beautiful Patek and story
The 5110P is a nice Patek. I enjoy the story. 16 year anniversary is a milestone. Then MiguelFlash shows his VC Overseas world timer. Oh, a world timer watch can look that way, the right way. I can not help it, i am more a Vacheron Constantin man then a P...
My first Patek love.
Maybe not the P, but the G for me at the time was my first Patek love. And I am not a Patek guy either, but I do love this reference. What is so good about these pictures is that they show a watch which has clearly been worn. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic watch
Good to see a long term ownership of a beautiful watch. Next year my first PP will be 20 years... my love for this one has sorry to say diminish with time and new watches. But it will always be in my collection as it has a personal meaning to me 😏 Good to...
👍🏻 Great post. I know you love it to the bones.
Always a pleasure to read your naked feelings for it ;-) It is not important that I like, love it or that will pick another model, what I find admirable is to see your continuous and faithful emotions for... she.
I love my G to bits
Everything you say about the perfection of this reference is right on the money. It's my only Patek, and I bet that five years from now, it will still be my only Patek! ...
Defining a Brand
I celebrate your post. I include a picture of my collectables which happen to match by color. These two specimens define each one of their brands for life. ...
Thank you for taking the time to write this and share your thoughts and experiences. A pleasure to read!
This is my favorite version of Patek WT, too - the hands, the guilloche, the color... Too bad this reference is long discontinued...
Thank you for this amazing post!
I totally agree with you the 5110 is a classic and a keeper! It is my only watch which I never thought of selling!! It is THAT good and seductive. My RG says hello! ...
That blue dial guilloche..
This is my personal favorite of the PP WT. the dial and hands combination is wonderful. Also the enamel, although beautiful, scare me as a daily wear but this one can go anywhere but the pool. Enjoy.
She is a beautiful 16 year old girl.
No doubt she will become more beautiful as you both age together--- I relate to your sentiments. Steve
Well I’ve not
Seen the backstory before, but I’m quite new here. Fabulous emotional connection you get across in your post, thanks for sharing it.
you write very well Nico :)
I always enjoy reading your posts. I remember during those times I went for an annual calendar and I still have my 5056P. different watches but in the same era. Benz
Such an enjoyable read. Thank you.
I subscribe entirely to the sentiments you express, in particular the value of time and relationship that grows with it. I'm sure the buy-to-flip approach has its own satisfactions but it's not for me either. I use watches to slow things down to enjoy gra...
The love for #5110P is transmitted
It is worthy of respect to continue to cherish the same clock of fate for 16 years. I think that PP #5110P is deserves it.
Wonderful post my friend
I never get tired of you posting some of the watches, which include the 5110p. I know your deep love for the reference all these years. I am contemplating adding a worldtime maybe. Both the 5110 and 5130 are under consideration. I have a strong liking for...
It’s a wonderful story of a wonderful reference, Nico
Absolutely agree that this 5110 is a milestone. It’s the 1st WT in modern PP era. Thanks for sharing your story & lovely pics 😊🙏🏾 Cheers
