The Trade
My father always liked brand new watches. This Patek Philippe Ref 1526 was his first 2nd hand barely worn piece from his close friend. I remembered he always told the story of how his friend got the 1526 as a gift but he’d rather prefer to have a Rolex. So he asked my dad to buy him a Rolex in exchange for the new 1526. Can say the rest is history and the best trade he did. Unfortunately I do not know which Rolex model was “traded”

This is a contender for trade of the century
Excellent move on a future museum piece.
I second this statement that your father probably made one of the best deals I have ever heard of...
maybe not of the century as we need to consider real estate and bitcoin deals which would equate to HUNDREDS of millions but indeed an exceptional deal That 1526 is almost painfully stunning !!
Thanks for sharing the story of the watch!
The piece is sublime, not a bad trade at all 😉
I love the1526!
I hope to have one someday. Such an elegant , understated watch. I even like it in 34mm. No need to draw any attention to itself. Thanks for sharing!
