Wow to infinity!!!!!! I have seen images of a handful of these.. different dial colors/metals with Breguet numerals and no tachometer.
Separately I have see a handful either in person or in images of the same BUT with tachometer eg Eric Clapton WG silver dial on a bracelet. A very big thank you for adding this salmon Breguet 5970 to the mix!
As the end of the year approaches and one reflects … on a very light and perhaps ridiculous note, I was thinking what is my absolute favorite all time Patek
one that in a beautiful dream is mine. It is this watch, 2499 1st series rose gold pulsations dial, likely unique. I saw this watch many years ago, just before it was sold at auction. Absolutely unforgettable the image is forever embedded in a delightful ...
The first one that I will never be able to afford...
...is the ref. 5013 in any metal/dial combo. And one that I might be able to afford with a lot of luck with some pre-IPO stock is the ref. 5950A But both about as likely as having a 1960s-era Sophia Loren as my girlfriend : ) ...
Three incredible choices. Ah….Sophia! I have never owned a minute repeater. Would love to, but probably never will.
But if I did I would be thrilled to own a 5013. I love that style case which goes so well with the Breguet numerals.
HNY Patekova ! May 2024 be the year for you to
get your grail ! Given my enamel and WT passions, naturally my dream grail is 5531 !
Thank you! Gordon I think you win the award for the most expected pick🏆😊 And why not. I would love to own this watch.
For me a toss up between this and 5016 - would be a very difficult choice.

Oops, my bad.. was thinking this …
The 3970 you showed belongs in this class also …. ...
The best.
I truly think this is one of the most beautiful watches Patek has ever made - everything on it is perfect, the spacing, the dial layout, the tachymeter, even the signature is so fitting, Freccero on a pink gold first series 2499 ? I can just imagine the c...
Yes, truly amazing. Early first series first year of production. Looks like a Vichet case of which there are relatively few and only early first series before
switch over to Wenger cases. Vichet cases are about 2 mm smaller but have longer down turned lugs. Another uber rare feature, is that it is a pulsations dial, rather than tachometer. In case you are interested the watch was sold in Geneva at Antiquorum on...
yes it's a true beauty !
I know the current owner quite well, don't think it will come back to auction anytime soon unfortunately haha
Amazing coincidence. Can't imagine it will. I know the dealer who bought it at that auction and we spoke about this watch years later. One can only
imagine what that watch would sell for today at auction.
Many, many thanks for posting this image, which so much better quality than the image I posted! Shows not only how beautiful the watch is,
additionally how amazing the condition is.
I think it would be something very similar to yours.
Absolutely stunning watch absolutely Ooooooozzzing with Patek DNA M.
