If Patek limited editions are reasonably rare, and unique versions produced for special collectors are (in modern times) even more exceptional, titanium pieces appear to be among the most exclusive and prestigious of the entire Patek production. So for so...
As much as I love a wide spectrum of Patek timepieces, I too am most intrigued about their rarest pieces. Having tried a titanium edition in the metal so to speak, I can’t say I prefer it over platinum or gold, but I no doubt found it very intriguing! Tha...
I would be all over a titanium Patek if ever produced within reach for mortals like myself... I once mentioned to Thierry Stern that I would love to see a titanium piece in my collection and he told me there usually is an opportunity for anyone to purchas...
did you check with our honorable cbb? From what I observed here, her late dad’s PP collection seems second to none, maybe even the uber famous collector you mentioned 🤔 We might be in for more surprises.
Thanks for sharing! I wonder who the original owner was? Perhaps a low key individual with unique taste. I’m happy with their steel pieces although a bracelet Nautilus would be pretty light and spectacular on the wrist at that weight.
I don't feel like posting any details at this time, however, since that information is still entirely uncorroborated. In any event, I do agree that an individual ordering the first titanium Pateks ever in the early 2000's, whoever they are, certainly have...
Well, nearly four long years later, number 13 has just seen the light! It's this stunning, green-dialed ref. 5270T, of course a unique piece like its 12 predecessors, which will be auctioned for charity come November on the occasion of "Children Action 20...
Goes many years back… recall handling the 6000T at the Phillips HK preview about 6 years ago and have been dreaming of this piece since… I see now it sold to a passionate collector who will likely never let it go which is great since I can give up on that...
I sincerely wish you all the best in realizing this dream one day --- it's not an overstatement to say that a Titanium Patek would become THE single most valuable piece of virtually any world-class watch collection! Cheers.
I did tell TS about my wish for a T… and he told me one was coming up for sale later that year at Only Watch … I did also tell him I wished for a green dial Nautilus or Aquanaut as an alternative to blue… and he did two years later release greens … but I ...
All of these are obviously *incredibly* rare watches, and some of them also truly surprising..... The 3928T below, with a 9.44 carat diamond encased in the back (!), is easily one of the most unusual modern Pateks I have seen! Cheers. ...
At this point the iconic 5396 whose antecedents include the legendary 2497/2438, is getting a little long in the tooth. Maybe it is time to retire it. If so, I think it deserves a special send off, namely a limited edition. While a T would be fantastic, c...
I happen to have the R-011, which I bought in 2011 and is still in production today, outlasting several more recent versions (I even saw it, of course "exhibition only," at one of the ADs today here in Italy! ;-) Patek is reading our forum, and your sugge...
This FANTASTIC result is the best obtained so far at any 2022 watch auction. Thanks to the Brand's generosity, the entire amount of CHF 9.7M will now be used to benefit countless children around the world! For further details please see Patek's official a...
It is not an overstatement that these 13 Titanium watches are among the most rarefied and exclusive timepieces produced in Patek's 183-year glorious history. I can only imagine the honor and responsibility of the fortunate custodians of such historically ...
