Dr.kol shares his initial impressions of the Patek Philippe Ref. 6007A, calling it a '10/10' while discussing his shift in focus from collecting to family life.

Dr.kol, a long-standing and respected member of the WatchProSite community, shares a personal update alongside an exciting new acquisition. Despite a busy schedule balancing family life, work, and current events, dr.kol found time to unbox and photograph a recent delivery from Patek Philippe London. His initial impressions of the watch are overwhelmingly positive, declaring it a perfect '10/10 in its class.'

Yes, very alive! My 13 months old daughter keeps me busy.

Together with Covid-19, I have been so busy that I did not even have time nor interest to visit London Salon and meet my friends there. Luckily, the good people of PP in London used the courier and sent me two watches last week. I really had no time to have a closer look because I'm busy with work, family and CNN. However, I opened the other box and took a couple of quick photos of the other one.

I have not studied what people here said about the watch but in my opinion Patek nailed it this time. In its class, 10/10.

Best, Kari

I will not make a comeback. I try to focus on other things of life and I'm spending quite a lot of time with business, family, missing the clays in the shooting range, plying with my new car and my wife's soon-to-arrive shopping chart (Audi e-tron 55 Sportback), long walks outside with my dogs, etc. I think I spent too much time and energy staring at my left wrist in the past and I'm now in the rehab stage. All the best to you and your family! Kari
