Patek Philippe

Over the moon!

My first Patek, bought a couple of months ago and dropped off for a service immediately. Collected today from London fresh from the full service. Sadly they’re waiting for the new strap so excuse the tatty affair spoiling the photos. I posted previously canvassing opinions on a polish too. Although the consensus was “no”, this watch is new to me, and if it’s going to get war wounds I’d rather they were mine. It was in good condition so only required the most delicate of retouching.
I know compared to many of the exquisite pieces I see here this is very modest, but as my first PP, it’s very special to me. I love the lines of this watch. It has a more modern feel in P variant I think. It feels very substantial on the wrist, which I love. I’m thrilled..!!!
And thanks to those who’ve shared advice from my first post when I was contemplating a purchase onwards. Much appreciated!!

...the only downside for me is the tiny movement.

Yes

The movement is small compared to the caseback. The 215 obviously wasn’t bespoke for this watch. However, I quite like the chunkier look of the case. And, the way I look at it, I don’t see the movement when I wear it, but if I want to get a loupe and admi...

Congrats! Looks like new.

I’ve several automatic watches, but I love the tactility of the manual wind, and it’s ridiculously smooth!

Such a nice watch. Well done! [nt]
