The Norma Jean aka Marilyn Munro aka Banana Patek
I personally prefer MM as it seem to describe the curves and lines on this magnificent watch.
I finally found the final piece for my 9-90 collection.(Thanks Roni and Alex)
Here are some pics-
I have also included all my pieces but not in one picture as I do have access to all the pieces currently. Will try and get a family portrait in the future.

The collection
ref 425 aka Tegolino (Does anyone here know where the term comes from?)
"
ref 2554 aka Manta Ray
"
ref 1593 aka hour glass an the ref 5500 aka Pagoda( a reedition of the original Eiffel Tower ref 2551)-obviously thr Pagoda does not have the 9-90 movement.

What I find amazing is that only 150 of the 2442 were made but they seem to be quite prevelant in the auction houses. For such a rare watch I seem to see them quite often .
Any way I think this is my final purchase. How many is too many? When I feel the collection feels complete. So no more....although there is pg ref 1593 which would complete the perfect trifecta.
