Thanks Jay!
No cake, yet anyway.
It was whammy #3 that decided this was the piece I wanted.
I was hesitant about the size since the deal was done online and by phone. However, I now realize that size doesn’t matter. (😉)
No! I mean there’s room for going smaller than the average watch size of the 21st Century. I like how this looks on my wrist.
8003304821REally beautiful choice Happy Birthday
I too looked at one in Yg many years ago but never bought it. I loved the dial and the case case . Enjoy the birthday with or with out cake Julian
Happy Birthday and many happy returns !👍
Lovely gift to yourself ! The raindrops look 👀 so great on the bezel ! How does it wear ?
Thanks Gordon.
It’s quite small for me in terms of my collection. But it’s making me contemplate the virtues of small cases. I like the way it looks. And it’s quite comfortable.
5015g was my first Patek back in 1995
And I purely bought it because of its aesthetics and the porcelain dial is to die for . Hunter back was a novelty back then
I clearly remember this from the early 2000s. It was already discontinued though I didn’t know that.
It was so idiosyncratic that it’s always been on my mind/list. Finally got around to it.
Thank you.
Yes, a hobnail bezel. Most recently Patek is using it on the new 6119 Calatrava.
Very nice, and more importantly Happy Birthday!
I hope there was cake, if not the watch will have to suffice. This is a quadruple whammy I think; first the dial and the dial layout, then the hobnail stepped bezel, then the officers caseback and finally (at least these days) the smaller case. The first ...

This is the bad part of being my age…
I have no idea; and it was just a couple days ago when I took the picture.
Definitely!
People might not be influenced by celebrities wearing watches and photographed in precarious poses... But to see the joy of a centuries old vampire who has seen and experienced the best of what life has to offer enjoy a watch... That's definitely a wisdom...
Happy Birthday!
it's a great looking watch! i managed to try on a similar looking one recently. beautiful!
Happy Birthday Mike! What a beautiful self present!! You did well: a superb addition to your fine collection. I wish you had a nice day yesterday celebrating...
... and enjoyed it so much. Enjoy this superb watch so much and in the best of good health my friend. Best cordial regards, Abel.
Un placer Mike!! You deserve it!
Doing well here… in spite of my Country! Lol! Dreaming with visiting NY again! Hopefully some day soon. Abrazos y Felicidades!! Abel
wow very nice !! Happy Birthday👏
If I am not mistaken some years ago you had several Lange incomings...what happened to them ? are you still enjoying them or did you switch to other brands? Thanks! Christian
Thanks Christian.
I did switch loyalties several years ago. I’m limiting myself to independents these days. I haven’t cared for the way some of the conglomerates operate now.
thanks again, always curious to know what happened since I also bought a lot of watches (and 2 Lange) around at the same time.
sold some, hope you didn't lose too much or that you gained.
