Wonderful “Time Machine” back when watches were smaller
Love the pic of the case set up, I am a fan of that kind of proposition I must admit
Ok I did something I hadn’t planned on. I took out the box, cut the sealed plastic
set the watch, inserted the strap and finally put it on my wrist. I am in love. I figured what why am I waiting when I could be enjoying this many days? So I got a hair up my a-s and just did it. I am glad I did too. It’s a 5004g. A perpetual calendar spl...
This watch has is a true delight
I am glad you are enjoying on your wrist and not sitting in the safe. Carpe diem
Exactly!
As I get older, too many people in my life are starting to decline or worse. Enjoy your time...
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing this momentous occasion!
Opening the box to a new watch is always a special moment! Big hug and a small treat for Sophie!
You made the right decision!
There is no way that watch should stay wrapped in plastic and live in a safe! I remember being at a Patek novelties preview event several years ago and they had some vintage pieces on display amongst the new releases. I was doing a quick scan through the ...
Thanks Brandon. The 36mm size doesn’t bother me
one bit ; in fact I kinda like it for a change. So classic this watch that it doesn’t really matter.
I’m impressed…by the watch and your resolve. What prompted you to make that move??
How long had it been under wraps?
Just thinking about life as I get older and no guarantee of
tomorrow. Asked myself why am I saving it? For whom? I won’t sell this watch so what difference does the change in value potentially make?
I will gladly do such chores for you Ed, if you give me a call....your time is too precious to do these little things :)
Now with the viral post of JZ posting his 2499/5004s, you just attain A-list stardom! Big congrats and enjoy!
Great looking watch.
Must feel great to wear. I’m glad you’re enjoying it on your wrist. We aren’t museum exhibits, after all (well not yet at least).
Huge Huge congrats in the birth of this
delicious hamburger ! Trust that you found it absolutely tasty ! Although smallish in size, 5004 is BIG in complications. How does it wear on your wrist ?
It really wears great! It doesn’t feel small
at all and I am so mesmerized by looking at it that I don’t even notice what size it is. I do love the hamburger type case also. Thanks!
Greetings from an older brother
There aren't a lot of 5004Gs out there, but here's an older brother who is already 26 years old. You can see how yours is going to age over time with a nice patina. This is one of my all time favorite Pateks, and I bet you're gonna love it! Congrats! ...
I love your watch! It’s looks fantastic!
Thanks for sharing this it’s held up extremely well and will Never look dated to me.
So glad you did! Simply breathtaking!!!
For me the most spectacular perpetual split-second from PP! The charm to me is the size and proportions. Just breathtaking!!!
