Yep, I keep watches in a few different banks and today by chance I was visiting this one, so I had to say hi to the "School of fish"! ;-)) (The strap is unchanged, it is the original blue one that came with it.)

Hello from windy Wellington !! I am new to the forum although I have read a fair few threads and also the articles on Wathcprozine site. I am truly amazed by the quality of the content, the calibre of the contributors, their insight towards the brand and ...

Welcome with your first post! I don’t know much about the special handcraft model you are referring to (other than they are superb) but man do I love your 5320! Cheers

Thank you Yacomino!!

You've come to the right place!

Thanks -- the fact that we have so many collectors of these marvels here is indeed remarkable, quite the testimony to the quality of our wonderful community! ;-) Cheers.

Thank you FabR. I love your collection or the part you have shared here thus far!

;-) Enjoy your time here!

Thank you TeutonicCarFan !!

Agree with the comments on the 5320

Thank you Buffalowatch !

Welcome here and lovely Patek PC you have.

Thank you John !

A warm welcome to our Patek forum ! Lovely 5320 PC that you have !

Thank you Gordon. I love your collection and the information you share for the benefit of the community. I have seen 3 out of the 4 threads you shared. Thanks again

Welcome to the Patek forum, it is a sincere pleasure to have a new fellow Rare Handcraft lover and Patek collector on board :-)

Thank you FabR! I might have the missing 2020 catalogue 😁😁

My pleasure and thanks again for joining (and for your PM). That's indeed the gorgeous 2020-21 Rare Handcraft Volume! :-))

I look forward to seeing the actual watch on your wrist against the catalogue photo !

Definitely, RHs need to be fully appreciated in person, much more than other watches, but they are hard to come by! The "School of fish" is totally breathtaking for its choice of colors and tridimensional effect....Here's a few archive shots ;-) Cheers.

Wish I had seen this in person!

I do wear them all, though they are clearly very far from a daily choice (not practical, besides some obvious safety concerns). I would say they are my go-to pieces for special occasions, on top of course of most Patek-sponsored events :-)

Is your dentist a RH collector too? 😉

He has a good Rolex collection (between him and his kids), but no Rare Handcrafts :-) Of course I know many of the good local collectors, and some have terrific pieces...but none is applying for my Rare Handcrafts! ;-))

Interesting! Just as well because they don’t make many!

PS: Just back from the second leg of my bank tour this morning, and guess who I met... :-)

Safely resting in the vault ?!

Yep, I keep watches in a few different banks and today by chance I was visiting this one, so I had to say hi to the "School of fish"! ;-)) (The strap is unchanged, it is the original blue one that came with it.)

That’s cool. Not many banks in this part of the world provide vaults

I guess I'm lucky that I live in a city with many banks just a short drive away that provide safes -- even if I live in a reasonably safe neighborhood, it would be unthinkable to keep watches at home in Italy... ;-)

We have other private vault providers in the capital which I use. Very similar service to the banks

👍👍😉

Welcome!

Thank you Duffymcpatzer ! It is a gorgeous day here in Wellington 😊😊😁

Welcome to the site

Thank you Azizu ! I changed to a PP alligator blue strap about 4 months ago. It seems to hold well. The brown strap came with the watch and it lost the gloss almost straightaway.

Welcome and good luck

Thank you Penfriend. I must admit I share the same sentiment as you with regards to the 5320g dial colour. Not sure if it’s true, but a certain Mr E Clapton apparently l loves the dial too 😊😊

A real beauty!

Thank you !!
