Patek Philippe

One of the wonderful experiences one can have when visiting the Patek Philippe Museum is seeing the Star Caliber 2000 , created to celebrate the start of the third millenium, in each of the four precious metals . In particular, I find it quite remarkable ...

watches for me. I tend to prefer Roman numerals (so YG & WG) but each is quite stunning. Best, Emmanuel
