A visit to my local AD. Warning.....DO NOT DO IT too often.
Today my wife and i accompany our good friend to make their first Patek purchase.
My friend wanted to get a pair of patek for him and his wife, i suggested they start with the nautilus line as they both live a fairly active life. Show them the 5712R and the 7010R. Was love at first sight for them. ( who could resist a nautilus????) and the deal was done very quickly.
As they where finalizing the payments details, my wife ask to look at a particular model. We had seen/ tried the same model before but in Rosegold. When the dealer open the plastic wrap and my wife put it on her wrist......i know immediately i was in trouble.

Yes Kari, i hear you
Our wives are becoming quite experts at choosing the best time pieces. Are we to blame for exposing and teaching them too much? I guess we are guilty as charged. ;-) Best Iceman

My wife is ahead of me on the Patek count
I ask her if the manual movement is a problem( she usually wants a quartz) . She said with confident that she would labour a bit for this beauty. And thats the end of the story and the time i hand over my Amex :-) Best iceman
