Patek Philippe

Thank you Sam!

 

I was as impressed with your photographic skills as I was with the watches themselves. Would it be ok for me to ask you which obscure dealer held all these beauties? I had thought all the limited edition London exhibition watches were sold out by now and was actually hunting for a 5153G myself. Good thing you bought it or I would be a poorer man today! smile
Best wishes,
Sham

A worthwhile visit to London

Last month, I made a detour to London on my Europe trip, hoping to do some watch hunting. With the weakening Sterling after Brexit, I naively thought there might be some lucrative bargains - not true - because Patek quickly responded by raising its prices...  

I am impressed by your resourcefulness and hunting abilities!

And a very special 5153! Congrats! I suppose you will be an auction soon too. Best fernando

Thanks. Yes, I went to the preview on Sunday and saw some lovely pieces,

Thanks. It's almost like Heaven

MRs are lovely, but not my first preference....I hurt my ear while diving many years ago and now cannot hear whatever my wife says :P

Thank you Sam!

I simply took the pictures with a smart phone (Huawei Nexsus 6P.....I was told the new model P9 (which houses a Leica lens) is even better. On the dealer, I will send you a PM Yes, they are all sold out, but once in a while, some people change their minds... 

You got a nice watch, congrats!

The selection of this AD is telling clearly what is going on. Best, Kari

Thanks Kari

The visit was enlightening - The watch booths at Harrods were all 'manned' by Chinese salespersons - All Patek dealers have nothing to show, the Salon can only show me a 5204R, not even a 5270

I would be quite content with the 'modest' 5135.

Nice collection of arm candy. I was also looking at the 5204 last week as well, but I did not get turned-off by the upside down moon. I was mesmerized by the split second.

impressed? I am feeling quite dizzy!

Congratulations Sam not only on your new addition but on finding such a stunning collection of Patek pieces. Can I also respectfully ask if you would also PM me details of the store? On occasion I visit London, purely to peruse the various horology shops ... 

That 5213G it is truly gorgeous!

Never heard a Patek MR yet and the watches you could try is a nice experience for sure. I found the 5204R from this year very appealing as well, I prefer even that version to the Pt but that's a personal appreciation of course. Thanks a lot for taking tim... 

There is a clip on Youtube comparing the chimes of several Patek minute repeaters

including the 5078 and 5213.... You should definitely take a look, assuming you have not already done so Best Sam
