Brothers and friends

 

Just two modern friends hanging on a contrasting background 

You will notice their shared design ethos... just the logo differs. The case profiles are quite different too (convex vs. concave)




The second one is nearly a scientific experiment (apologies for the poor photo quality)
They were both gifted by a man to his two sons circa 1973-74 to celebrate his golden wedding to his wife (50th anniversary) 
The two sons wore their respective Patek ref 2573 for many years but there was one difference: their degree of addiction to nicotine. This habit ended up showing on their respective dials, one which is crisp and the other one which has aged much more. 
I have only kept the more 'wabi sabi' one of the two for various reasons 
The original buyer was my great grand father
