I would definitely go for the 5950R if they are still available. The ultra thin movement of the split second chronograph is Patek at its best! I would ignore the 40th anniversary models as they are way overpriced in the used market and offer poor value fo...

Your father built up a fantastic collection. My condolences on his passing. Personally I like to avoid going into the secondary market. As Sham mentioned, a 5950R or one of the minute repeaters would be something rather special. Alternatively you can look...

That collection looks pretty complete. I would wear those. That is the best way I can think to pay tribute to someone you hold dear in your heart. Throw on a watch and go for a walk. Loose your self and look down to see what time it is. Think of him and t...
