Patek Philippe 2509 Amagnetic
The 2509 reference is one of those classic Patek Philippe time only watches that exude more charm than one thinks possible for a time only watch. I have told this story before, buty i saw this watch for auction several years ago. The auction condition rep...
I really like the look of this one, Joe
maybe even my favourite Calatrava fron your collection. CC
There is much to love in these vintage watches

That is on hell of a watch
And a great story to go with it! Well done acquiring it. I always thoroughly enjoy your photos as well. I'd love to see a movement shot.
Thanks Harry....
....its one of the things I don't do. I will let PP open them up etc, but i don't feel comnfortable opening them in case i do damage...which is very probably.

sensual...and this great post is just another proof that you have to be smart to be lucky Cheers D
Beautiful, class and iconic.
What else for a dress watch? I have been debating myself lately for a RG/YG classic watch bringing down the list of candidates to PP Calatrava or a VC Cornes de Vache. Manage to make up my mind finally, should be with me very soon!
Absolutely beautiful reference!
I too am a huge fan of these classic vintage pieces, it's just an area that requires more knowledge then I currently possess to find these real gems. This one is stunning and has a particularly interesting history. Any idea why no "Swiss" designation on t...
STUNNING!
Absolutely stunning. PP does a perfect job restoring these vintage beauties. I have sent several watches to Geneva for full restoration (currently have two there now) and they come back looking brand new! I love your watch! Congrats...
