Thank you Ken...
Thank you Ken for reading and responding! I'm sorry to hear that you could not attend the presentation in Japan, but we all have priorities.
Personally, I was really hoping to see the 5208P, as I'm very curious to hear the sound of that watch. I've heard a few Grand Complications before; the IWC Grand Complication and the Audemars Piguet Grand Complication are perhaps the ones that I've heard the most number of times. The IWC has a very quiet sound, poor tone quality, and was very slow while the AP was very good. I wonder how the 5208P minute repeater would be in terms of tone, volume, and speed.
Thanks again!
San Francisco Mini-Basel
Last Tuesday, on the evening of May 17th, I had the pleasure to attend a special Patek Philippe event in San Francisco hosted by Tiffany & CO. At this event, Patek Philippe took the opportunity to present the latest pieces from Baselworld 2011 to a lucky ...
Wow, thanks!
... due to family matter, I had to cancel the invitation to the presentation and the dinner :-( We are in the middle of selling parent's house and some weekends must be spent in suburb about 1.5 hours away from Tokyo. Anyway, so many novelties and I am lo...

i want some of those plants
that the Pateks grow on - did you break off a few branches and see if you can get them to root?
I wanted to...
I wanted to do so very much. But there was security everywhere and I'm sure they noticed even when I held my hand to push down the leaves so they wouldn't be blocking my view of the watch. If only I could get a tree that grew Patek Philippe timepieces... ...
Looks like a great event!
What best way to celebrate? PP pieces, great meal, and a handroll cigar after? WOW, you get all the perks in the Bay Area! Thanks for sharing!
Hard to come by my friend...
Those perks are hard to come by and few and far between. I think there were more of these events in Los Angeles if I remember correctly. But yes, great pieces, and they allowed me to take photographs! Unfortunately the stands of the watches were so high t...
Thanks for the pictorial report Patrick ! [nt]

Great post!
Thanks for all the photos! Fine watches, fine food and fine cigars... what more could you ask for? Awesome.
I could ask for a lot of things...
I could ask for a lot of things, but some things wouldn't be reasonable. How about actually allowing me to buy the first 5270G. What they did give me was a nice goody bag that I know I will really enjoy. Because they gave me that for free, I'm too embarra...
