Patek Philippe

I read that vintage is achieved at 30 years. This 3802J was made in 1998 which is a few years shy of that number. With a fresh service and new strap, I’m enjoying this one quite a bit, and the porcelain dial never fails to capture my attention. Sitting at...  

With a porcelain dial, a date complication and automatic, it still fits into a very nice and slim package. Even 33mm doesn’t feel too small on the wrist.

Perfect size, probably also because of the long lugs.

But I expect you will still be staring at your 3802 at every opportunity!

I just don’t know if I’m willing to give up 16 hours of my life for each one of these stories though.

They only take 2 hours!

The 315 caliber gives this piece a nice thickness and weight!

Just too bad it is not visible without a transparent case back.

Is a Patek that I really really like. Gorgeous

But I think it is actually just right.

Patek ! Enjoy it more often in and out of lockdown !

I still remember drooling over this watch when I was very young! Definitely a keeper!
