Boccadasse in Boccadasse :-)

By: FabR : July 22nd, 2019-09:03

By now, everybody probably knows what my favorite watch is (Patek 5177G-010, a 2018 rare handcraft whose enamel dial represents Boccadasse), and also what my favorite location is in my hometown of Genova, which I'm still fortunate to enjoy for 3+ months e...

Thanks a lot, same here :-) [nt]

Boccadasse in Boccadasse :-)

Stunning piece and scenery, lucky you Fab, congrats on such a wonderful piece. [nt]

Thanks a lot my friend, these 'Boccadasse' pictures were long overdue! :-) Cheers. [nt]

Could you please show your watch and the background again? :):)

OK, here's another one, but promise me you won't ask for more...:-)) PS: Thank-you! :-)

a piece from Geneva in Genova....sounds and looks very nice...enjoy the nice summer there.... [nt]

Thanks a lot, the best spot in the entire town to enjoy summer and a nice cocktail...we couldn't believe it when they chose it for one of their dials last year :-) Cheers. [nt]

honestly, initially when I saw it I thought it's actually Portofino....

Not to mention that even the official name of the watch (which I haven't been able to get changed yet!:-) was 'Cinque Terre', probably due to its being much more famous internationally...;-)

will certainly inform you once I am around Genova, will be a pleasure to catch up....enjoy your stay, y [nt]

Thanks again, and please do ;-) [nt]

Superb watch, and superb location! [nt]

Couldn't agree more, Thank-You :-) [nt]

A wonderful place, and it must give you a strong, very strong feeling to have a watch with a matching dial! Auguri. [nt]

Thanks my friend, no doubt about that :-) [nt]

Great photo Fab 🥂...

Thanks a lot :-) [nt]

Fantastic watch and scenery !!

Another beauty, that's the Toscany countryside that I learnt just recently was (predictably) allocated to its nearest AD here in Italy...hopefully to some beautiful Norwegian theme next (and there's lots)! ;-) [nt]

What beauties! The watch and the scenery 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank-You, indeed I felt I HAD to take 5177 to visit Boccadasse -- and he was as happy as I about it, or so I think :-) [nt]

Definitely you had to, and you did the right thing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 [nt]

🙏🙏😉 [nt]

Can never see too much of this one...

Thanks a lot, same here :-) [nt]

A beautiful watch in, and of, a beautiful place!

Thank-you for the nice words ;-) [nt]

Fantastic location. Wonderful Calatrava, enjoy. 👍

So beautiful indeed, both of them ;-) [nt]

You'll never be homesick with that on your wrist. [nt]

Couldn't agree more, thank you. [nt]

That is quite magnificent! 😍 [nt]

Very much so, thank you! [nt]

Such a classy sleak and elegant piece

"Aquanaut" bracelets, you should see them in person how nice and playful they are in summer ;-) Cheers

A 5968A with the orange rubber strap would be playfull enough for me on a summer day [nt]

Enjoy your 5968, you can’t go wrong this summer with the orange strap😉 [nt]

Troppu bella Zena

👍👍😂You speak genovese better than me!😂 [nt]

Ligure is my native tongue... [nt]

😂Are you from this area? [nt]

Yes next to Sanremo. [nt]

👍👍 [nt]

I want everything in focus!

Fantastic, this will be saved into my laptop first thing tomorrow morning!😍 [nt]

just fantastic [nt]

Thanks a lot😉 [nt]

Fabulous! I would love to hear how are you commissioned this piece [nt]

Oh, it was really easy to convince Patek to create this enamel piece for me...As soon as I purchased a couple of countries full of oil, they immediately agreed to my request. [nt]

Absolutely awesome! Photo of the year for me! [nt]

Thank-You!🙏😀 [nt]

Magnificent [nt]

Fully in agreement, thanks a lot :-) [nt]

Simply breathtaking.

Thank-You! [nt]

Fantastic piece and a great location.

Romantic indeed, thanks for commenting. [nt]

Fantastic “homecoming” for your watch ! It has such a beautiful motif ! It reminds me of the “homecoming” for my....

Stunning my friend, these are indeed some of the most meaningful pictures we can take of our watches :-) [nt]

Lovely place and wonderful timepiece Fab!! Easy to understand your love for both place and watch and feelings being in your place enjoying both! Thanks for sharing my friend! Abel [nt]

Thank-you my friend, I appreciate it. [nt]

My big pleasure my friend! [nt]

I think I like shot #2 the best of all, Fab. The watch in focus and the focus of attention, but the background so prominent as to leave no doubt about why you are standing where you are

Thanks a lot Fred, a fun and pleasant experience indeed :-) Here's in my opinion the best picture of this Boccadasse set, "taken" by Cazalea :-) Cheers to you

Yeah… that guy and his "depth of field…" Well, we'll all agree that Mike's a "keeper." You too, compagno congeniale. Possa la tua strada essere facile! Federico (named for my

Grazie mille, Federico😀🙏 [nt]
