Patek Philippe

It's so good to be reunited with the piece... I've forgotten how lovely the grey dial combined with the bright white platinum case is in person. Absolutely fantastic, I'm in love again... I have chosen not to get the case polished and I believe I made the...  

A good choice not to polish, she is truly beautiful. Hopefully you did not have to wait long for the return from the Patek spa, I am awaiting a delivery as well from the Patek spa, wear it in good health.

It took about 7 months in my case, so the it wasn't a short wait but the email customer service was prompt in responding with an honest ETA and notifying me with any delay situations so I had a good idea of when to expect it back. Thanks and I hope your w...
