Patek Philippe

All so different with three things in common: 1. They are all Pateks 2. The are terribly elegant 3. They are all mine!!! Well, the last point is not quite true, not yet anyway. Here I am in the UK on a very short trip primarily to collect the discontinued...  

As they say “ the messiah will come when they are reunited” Well done and try be patient It will happen J

At least it gives me something to look forward to!!

1) Your secret stash is in the UK. 2) You're an international travelling playboy. 3) You still love your limbs...... 😆 Congratulations MTF P.S. I'm still trying to make it to KL at end September.....

and buying my London flat from me at a ridiculously cheap price??!! Think of it this way - you will be helping the watch industry!!! I would even buy a Chopard to show my gratitude!!!

sham1, Since returning to the UK from glamorous Singapore, most of our watches are unused. No more red carpets and brand events to attend in North Wales, where sheep outnumber humans 😕 Many of the watches fail the 'worn once-a-year rule' and must be elimi... 

just for you, you may have my flat in Canary Wharf for half that price!! And Canary Wharf can remind you of glamorous Singapore. Personally, I seem much happier in a place where sheep outnumber humans - I can think of only Wales and New Zealand where this... 

I am happy for me too!!

There is a pre-owned from 2017 with considerable discount. I am so tempted by it but I just don't know if I can put my faith in the seller. They look great.

I love the dial, I love the raised Breguet numerals and the case shape. I am not too keen on the black dial version though. I think 'used' they are excellent value for money - find a reputable dealer and buy it with peace of mind. Yes you may pay a bit mo... 

I tried on all three watches yesterday and must confess that I am most comfortable with the 1530A, not because it is of the lowest value (and therefore less risky but the way it fits the wrist is perfect for me. It also seems to attract a lot more attenti... 

Huge congrats with your new watch . A beautiful skeleton dail indeed . Wear it in best of health and i hope your other ,,new ,, watch will join your collection soon 🙏🏻

I realise skeleton watches attract a niche market but the handiwork on the Patek is quite something. Hope to show it to you one day!!

Looking forward to see you and your new watch again in the near future 🙏🏻🤗

but I am glad I am in good company!!

wrist shot soon ! Hold on, wrist shots may not be possible because you might have lost both arms ! LOL !

I have kept my left wrist for obvious purposes and also my right wrist just in case. Besides, the going rate for a wrist is pretty low apparently!!!

I am actually quite astonished that in such rarefied company that the 1530A can still stand out!!

with elegant dress watches but perhaps that is because I am partial to such watches. The 5940G is without doubt the most complicated watch I own and will probably ever own as I tend to like more simple watches. But yes, you are correct that some of their ... 

I am not surprised the 1530 gets your vote as a daily wearer it is superb elegant and less risky but on the other hand, do not hesitate to wear often the 5940 it is fantastic and also very easy to wear. Congrats again for this superb trio my friend. Btw w... 

I think you may have the misfortune of having to meet me in November as I am tempted to collect my Tank Cintree in person rather than risk it being couriered to Malaysia. Besides, I like the sales assistant at Cartier very much!!

...I am talking about the watch my friend, not the salesgirml at Cartier hein ! so I'll be glad to see you then (give me the dates asap, I am travelling a lot these days and need a long notice…) ...  

The Tank Cintree is expected to be ready for delivery in November so on the safe side I am looking at the end of November which will also allow me to drop by at Salon QP in London.

I get back on 1 August which is why our GTG is on the next day! I wish I could have brought back the skeleton too but you will have to settle for a perpetual calendar!!

Congrats Sham1!

Together with the Patek 7200R London Edition and my incoming platinum Tank Cintree, they are probably the most elegant watches I own, in fact practically my entire collection!!

I am just nuts about Patek dress watches

Finally I have a watch with a moonphase on it!!!

Beautiful trio here! Congratulations on this collection.

My 'style' is actually quite predictable and I hope to be able to add this to my collection soon (in keeping with the style of course! ) ...  

I love those lugs!

And the dial is not bad either especially the raised numerals in yellow gold.

I love the watch on the top.

Someone who appreciates the fine detail of the skeleton. Thank you for your acknowledgement! I love that watch and look forward to take delivery of it one day.

I could stare at the skeleton all day. I hope you achieve this piece one day soon. CB

it is fortunately reserved for me so it is a case of my selling more body parts to acquire it

All are beautiful, but that 5940 is amazing. The proportions on that watch look great.

It is my favourite ever perpetual calendar. I know many purists like the classic shape of the 3940 and the 2499 prior to that but for me, the 5940 with its raised Breguet numerals, silver dial and cushion shaped case is perfect!

I am nuts about your 1530a how cool is that. And the 5940 is such a charmer. The sceleton very esoteric and exciting piece. Do you have close up pictures of it? I know patek do them very well.

The attention to detail is amazing and the side of the case if also hand engraved! ...  

I love this kind of esoteric horology. The watch Transforms to sculpture with such finesse and the extreme expression of craft. Clearly not for everyone - but who cares. Bravo!

I have this habit of liking watches that many may not!
