My sincere pleasure to share, Rare Handcrafts are indeed one of the corners of Patek's production that I am madly in love with, because of the unique marriage of art and horology that they represented at the highest possible levels! ;-)
No two Rare Handcraft dials are of course equal, almost by definition, which makes them even more personal and special to a collector's eyes! ;-)
You have such a nice collection that it would make sense for you to request Patek an out-of-catalog Rare Handcraft for yourself 
I don't have a timeline yet, but I hope we can announce the 2022 RH models later next month, with the beginning of Watches & Wonders. On that day, if you see something that you like, you could ask your AD to put in an application for you....every year, a few dozen people around the world get lucky, and given your sincere passion, I hope you can be one of them! ;-)

First time for posting for my modest collection
First time for posting for my modest collection I had been a long time outside observer in this site and seeing the beautiful pictures of watches from others and got inspired. Since I have to admit in the psychology terms that the nature cause of human ha...
First of all welcome 🙏 secondly I would not call that a modest collection 👍
My favorite of your beautiful collection would be the 5231J. Fram
Beautiful collection
You're being modest, which is a great trait! Today's valuations (chrono 24) would have your modest collection approaching one mil if not surpassing.
Thank you for your comments
Rare handcrafts really makes me high though only one I have is this at the moment.
A warm-hearted welcome here, Prelude
I appreciate your very reflected, almost philosophical post very much. „I never think the way that it was an investment for the money, but rather pure joy of owning the beautiful pieces for the healing of my soul during tough times.“ That’s true passion. ...
Thank you Thomas for your comments.
Passion for time is really important in my limited time 😉
My pleasure, Prelude
Passion for limited time... That is one of the reasons why this hobby fascinates me so much. Aside from the fact that some watches are real works of art for the wrist that you can (theoretically always) carry with you, and apart from the anachronism of me...
Modest collection? 😆 You are too modest!
I would say that to be a humble Patek collector's collection, which is very different to a mere collection. 5231 and 5170 for me!
First of all, a sincere welcome and Thank-You for joining our forum! You have a remarkable Patek collection, which you should be proud to have put together and to now thoroughly enjoy!
Like you said, the important thing is that these beautiful objects (and, sometimes, artworks) bring us joy and pleasure! The fact that you were able to obtain most of these marvels from your AD also speaks volumes about your quality as a collector and con...
Hello and thank you for your reply.
I hope to see more of your rare handcrafts because it really inspires me a lot. I think they are heritage produced by craftsman ship because of the baking each model is different from one another , and you are the owner on one particular unique piece in t...

Thank you for the wonderful photo
I will try to ask my AD about the master piece 😆 Your school of fish is a really eye catching stunner and much lively than the actual aquarium 👍
Amazing collection!!
You have a collection that most collectors would salivate over… there are the sports references, a cloisonné world time, and chronos!! A lot of people would be happy with just one but you have a range of references that are the most sought after!! Simply ...
Thank you for your comments
The more you get knowledge of the Patek watch, the more you want the different models🤣 I only have two hands to wear them and have to control the never ending desires which is very hard😉
Thank you for your comments
I am also a big world time fan and admire the beautiful art👍
welcome and congrats on not-so-modest collection! haha
I vouch for the 5231 and 5170p. those subtle diamond indicies...
Thank you for your comments!
Yes the diamond indices are not so flashy but like a hidden jewels which attracts me also😉
Thank you for your comments aka
Yes I will try to upload more wrist shots in the future 👍
Welcome to the forum. Picking a favorite is like picking your favorite child.
You have a great theme going. Wondering what other brands you enjoy. Looking forward to more post. We are all happy to share and never to judge.
Thanx for your comments Bill
Yes I totally agree that everyone is like a child. Each has its own story for acquisition and development. I tend to like the one which is not so much active and popular but has deep inner spirit and intuitive one.
Thanx for the comments
Yes the spike in Aquanautilus was unexpected and even this last 2 month was shocking 😅😅😅 I also missed many opportunities but tend to think that I was not destined with the model 😂
Thanx for the comments
I too like this chrono very much especially under the sun beam.
Thanks for the comments
5170 recently receives very high popularity inspire it was underrated for many years
A warm welcome to our Patek forum and thanks for sharing !
These pieces are highly sought after and having them under one roof makes your collection top-rated ! Naturally, as the self proclaimed enamel slave/addict on this forum, I am biased toward your 5231J ! The combination of hand-made enamel dial in a WT cas...
Thank you for showing me the great WT
I really like the North Pole version and hope that someday I can be the owner of this model. It is cool🙆♂️
すごい !
Really amazing collection. Like many others the star for me is the WT. 見せてくれてありがとう。
日本語が話せるのですか?
日本語が書けるなんてすばらしいですね。 実用的にワールドタイムはsummerタイムに適応してないのが少し残念ですが、見てるだけでかっこいいので許せます。
That’s a fantastic collection for only a few years! I love the 5065!
Enjoy and keep on collecting!
Fantastic collection
5170p and 5231 are my favorites, but great seeing these all together.
Thank you so much for your nice comments.
Yes both are my favorite ones and I love to see them before I go to sleep 😉
