Dear Friends, let me officially share with you the HUGE joy of this new enamel piece, which I picked up upon arrival in Italy last week --- simply put, one of the best-looking watches I have EVER seen in person! I know my pictures will never do it justice...

Many thanks, love the “aquatic” design but the level of detail and quality of the execution is indeed something to die for!😄🥂

Huge congratulations Fab !!!!

Many thanks Captain, hopefully one day I'll be able to show it to you in person! ;-) Cheers.

I think it’s ….

Most definitely, in the end this is always the best way to fully appreciate these masterpieces🙏🥂

Yes I agree…

+1, and this specific dial also has a great 3D feel....lots to love about it! ;-) Cheers.

Absolutely gorgeous piece!

Thanks a lot Volker -- and congrats again for the amazing Rare Handcraft you also received this year from the same collection! :-)

Hi Fab! What an incredible 3D effect gives this dial! I can imagine your Joy Level: I'm very very happy for you, IMHO these watches represent a true heirloom of human art capacity

Grazie mille Massi, Rare Handcrafts are indeed my favorite type of watches precisely for their unique marriage of horology and art…truly impressed!😄❤️🥂

Congratulations, Fabrizio...!

Thank-You George, incredibly happy and humbled to be able to pick it up🙏🙏🥂

Huge congratulations on yet another special timepiece.

Many thanks my friend, indeed Patek at its finest here🙏🙏🥂

Marvelous! Congratulations on this amazing masterpiece.

Thanks for the kind words Hussam, much appreciated🙏❤️

Gigantic congratulations 🍾🎉🎊🎈!

Thanks a lot Gordon, indeed a real beauty that the hobnail bezel of this "new" 5177 line (I believe it started in 2018 with "Boccadasse") highlights even more in my view! Very much looking forward to having a GTG with your lion one day! ;-))

Awsome

Many thanks Doctor -- indeed both pieces are VERY special and dear to me! Cheers.

Congratulations! What a wonderful Christmas present to add to your carefully curated Rare Handicraft collection

Thank-You Sir, feeling very fortunate about it :-) Cheers.

Big congrats dear Fab on this new arrival of this marvelous timepiece from Patek. Enjoy it so much and in the best of good health my dear friend.

Thanks so much my dear "twin moderator" [same birthday! ;-))], and the same to you for a fantastic New Year ahead! Looking forward to our meeting in person one day! ;-) Cheers.

Ha ha ha!! Thanks a lot for your so kind greetings my dear "twin moderator" Appreciate so much your kind message. I also wish so much meeting you some day. It will be a real pleasure and honor.

😉🙏🙏❤️

That is quite simply beautiful—on all counts — the dial, the case, the strap — you are truly blessed with this PP (and such a thoughtful girlfriend who sourced the Rolex for you). Time to celebrate!

Many thanks, indeed an incredibly lovely thought from my girlfriend as well -- really happy on all counts!

Absolutely amazing, and many congratulations!!!

Thanks a lot my friend, indeed I'm afraid that no picture will be able to do justice to this superb dial (let alone mine which are consistently of terrible quality regardless of the subject! ;-))) Cheers.

Pure art. Congrats on your collection!

Thank you Sir, glad you enjoyed it!🙏🥂

I am so happy for you Fab!

Thank-You Rhyzen --- sincerely honored to be able to include this special piece in my collection!

Incredible

Thanks a lot Kevin, love each one of them dearly!❤️🥂

Major congrats my dear friend

Thanks a lot Gatsby, I guess I got very lucky both in choosing the watch brand and in choosing the girlfriend!😁❤️🥂

Indeed you are !! :-)

🙏🙏😉

What a beautiful addition to your already impressive rare handcrafts collection FabR!

Grazie mille, anche per l’augurio in un italiano perfetto!😄 Cheers my friend.

What a unique piece

Thanks so much, indeed a remarkable artwork that I fall in love with every time I look at it!😍🙏🥂

What a lovely collection of special Pateks that you have!

You are right sham ! I am now

Nice try!😂💚😉

How about...

😱OK, the fish is on your way then!😂😂😉

Many thanks Sham, “Boccadasse” will probably always be my favorite as well…I simply can’t imagine a more special Patek for me personally, than one representing one of the most beautiful corners of my hometown!😁

Congratulations, Fabrizio!!! A spectacular piece of art!!! An absolutely rarity!!!

Thanks a lot for your kind words Tim, the execution is indeed spectacular with almost a 3D effect…glad I was able to (at least remotely) capture it with my pictures!🙏❤️

Waouh ! This dial is just….amazing of beauty and « profondeur » (depth) in many ways 🐟 ! Gorgeous ! 🤩. Congratulations !

Many thanks, incredibly happy to be able to include this special Patek in my collection🙏🙏🥂

Huge congrats Fabrizio!

Many thanks to your wife and yourself for the kind words Samer, a Happy New Year to you both!🙏🥂

HUGE CONGRATS!

Thank-You Sir, hard to beat your golden 5089!😄😉🥂

I lust for your wood marquetry piece!

That is also very special and *very* different, not to mention the rarity of that specific craft (only one artist, J. B., is in charge of creating wood marquetry for Patek)! Hope you can acquire one of his future creations -- you won't regret it! :-)

🤞

;-)

What an incredibly beautiful piece!

Many thanks for the kind words, while all watches can only be appreciated fully in person, this is even more true with this enamel dial…hope you’ll have a chance to view it in person one day, for me this is truly Patek at its finest!😄 Cheers.

OMG what an incredible collection

Many many thanks, I appreciate it🙏🙏

Wow, my friend, I am very happy for you. What a collection you are building!

Thanks a lot Nico🙏🙏🥂

Bellissimo Fabrizio

Grazie mille Constantin🙏❤️🥂

🤩 🤩 🤩

Indeed, hope you’ll have a chance to see this beauty in person my friend…what they did with the colors is in fact totally amazing! Cheers🙏🥂

Huge congrats Fabrizio this is an amazing piece and it fits really well with the other ones in your collection

Thanks a lot Chronometer — for some reason, “water” seems to be a pretty common theme of my Rare Handcraft collection!😂🥂

Just wonderful! Congrats for landing this marvel of an art!

😂😂😂Thanks a lot Ivan, one way to look at it that I hadn’t noticed yet!😂❤️🥂

HUGE congratulations!

My personal reaction was two-step: better in person than in the pictures (which is the case for most watches), and then it simply looked gorgeous and won me over once on the wrist! Hope the same for yourself...;-)
