GLauThis journey of six years is one that I could never have dreamed of ! Along the way involved highs and lows and discovery of my horological preferences. Furthermore, tremendous help and advice from some serious PuristS Patek collectors (KC, JK and Singapore "lurker") and staff members at my AD carried me to this peak! Above all, it was "FBI" that helped me to secure my first love and for that I will always be grateful ! Once I had the G, the enamel dreams or nightmares began and I just blindly charged ahead. ... ...Story

MirandaSerial production of chronographs began with the esteemed – and is perhaps the most recognised of all vintage Patek Philippe chronographs. Production started in 1934, and the movement was a heavily modified Valjoux. Production ended in 1964, with approximately 1500 pieces in all metals being made. Made in both precious metal and steel (and very rarely combinations of steel and gold), there are some rare and extremely valuable variations within the reference- the most desired versions being in white gold .....Story

foverstaPatek Philippe has just unveiled in Milan its latest ladies' watch, the Twenty-4 Automatic. Let's make no mistake about it: I consider this launch as the most important one from the Geneva brand this year. Because it is a collection that aims to generate volume and because it is dedicated to a clientele that must represent a significant growth relay. Even for Patek Philippe, the men's watches market is saturated and the ability to find new "male" customers is far from being obvious...Story

Patek and steel, never a good mix for your wallet, especially when it comes to vintage. Of the steel vintage Calatrava, the most desirable are the 34mm-35mm. anything bigger and you may as well sell a kidney, actually probably 2 ...Story

Baron - Mr RedSame rules as before, except this time the budget is $150,000 for the two. Which two would you buy from the current collection that would cover all the bases for a 2-watch collection from Patek? This one is much harder than before. I am going with two watches that I don't own. My rationale is that within that budget, it just isn't possible to go for the grand complications so readily! Similarly, one needs two watches that can cover all the bases...Story
