1. His 1st Patek was 1526 which was a trade! I posted in July this year.
2. His favorite PP undoubtedly are 6002, and 5175!
3. I think I saw the lady’s Nautilus on display in Geneva Salon almost 30 yrs ago (the salon entrance door was still on the lake side!) went in and got myself the time piece! I think I was the 1st of my family to buy from the Salon.
4. He had good collections...all of which he loved & appreciated the handicrafts & technology.
5. Still in the family...fully cared for like when he was alive.

Road to Success

My father always stressed the importance of being ON TIME. As long as I remember, he was never late, always punctual or even early. He often told us that anyone who doesn’t keep time, is never respected and rarely is successful. That’s why, I believe, kee...
True Words!

Being on time is such an essential ingredient to real, long-term success. Punctuality shows respect for the people that you are dealing with as well as respect for yourself. I don’t feel right if I am not wearing a watch. It must also be a watch that I am...
I must be the only one too

Who looks at the watch one is wearing sometime even before I notice the clothings 😅

Not quite!
I agree.

I always try to be a little early, so if there is an unexpected delay, I am still on time. Though I’m the only one in my family with this mindset 😰

and as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words so your 7 photos speak volumes about your father and his love of Patek.
Thanks for sharing CBB. I have a question also if you don’t mind.

I’ve seen you post a few pictures of your father where he was clearly wearing a watch on each wrist. And in some pictures I noticed what I think was a watch on the right wrist, but couldn’t see the left wrist. Was wearing two watches something he did regu...
Good catch!

He did wear both hands very often. Both at home and when dining out with his watch enthusiast friends. There were so many watches he enjoyed and liked to cherish daily. So every morning he’d wind his favorite of the day and wear them on both wrists. Chang...
I love this.

I am always on time even earlier. For me it is a question of respecting yourself and the person you will meet. Unfortunately not everybody has the education and manners like your father did. A great gentleman
