These are not pieces we get to see normally.

And I really like that first piece on your wrist. Those are the clearest subdials I’ve ever seen on a Patek.

Indeed, surprisingly good legibility for such an iced-out and complicated piece

I agree

That without the gems would be quite the piece.

Be grateful, gioloso. Finances have saved you from buying an unwearable museum piece.
