Sharing a special moment from today.

Thank you, templetowers.
She is, indeed, very happy. She said she was sitting at a stop light gazing at her watch and the light turned green - someone had to honk at her because she was lost in the moment 😁
Chapeau, my friend!
That was in a very special way a very honorable fulfillment of the famous Patek Philippe slogan 😌👍🏻
Thank you, JLCman.
My hope is that these images stay with that piece as it changes hands in my family in the years ahead. It’s way more than a watch now.
Thank you, Mr Green.
It makes this whole thing even better to know that it has also brought joy to some of our friends here.
Very touching
Such a grand gesture of gratitude to a mother. She must be very proud of you. Cherish every moment. My best wishes to you and your family.

Great story that should continue on ...
... and maybe your daughter will enjoy the 24/7 one day after your mother takes care of it for the next ... next generation!
That is my hope.
Having these pictures should make it all the more special for my daughter one day that is hopefully far in the future.
