A daring strap ( you know from who came the inspiration ) for one of my favorite Patek AND Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. 






This good old Lemania movement is good enough for me, too: 





Best,

Nicolas

best PPs in my opinion. I do prefer the salmon color dial though . Also, not sure whether I'd end up going for this one or for the VC Malte PC Chrono.... Would have to see both in person to make up my mind! Cheers, Filip

..an 'only watch.' Maybe in YG, but timeless in any case. Especially those leaf hands : )

The strap has quite an interesting textured pattern, which surprisingly works with this timepiece. The inner alligator is always a pleasure to have. As for the watch, I cannot really say anything that has not been said before!

sad to see the inflation of Nautilus only posts (what if, speculations, blame etc.)

I had heard/read about ABP and did come close to ordering through their site, but do prefer to meet in person for a consult. I will definitely look into ABP in the future.
