Patek Philippe

Received this over the holidays and really like its understated presence. Photos don't really do it justice. Only an annual calendar but reminiscent of 3448? Happy new year everyone This message has been edited by Vwong on 2016-01-18 18:35:29...  

Is it a form of patina over time, or just the picture?

I think it\'s my bad photography skills. Will take some more tomorrow!

A gem of a watch. My admiration on your choice of a watch. Cheers & Congrats. Geross

Thank you very much for sharing Cheers, Mark

Since you mentioned that you plan to write about this soon, I really wonder how many of the 5125 were in German vs English text. I would assume that more were in German, since the only English speaking WEMPE dealers were in London and NY. Therefore, the E...
