First time for posting for my modest collection

First time for posting for my modest collection

I had been a long time outside observer in this site and seeing the beautiful pictures of watches from others and got inspired.

Since I have to admit in the psychology terms that the nature cause of human has a desire for self approval or heighten desire for self recognition, but it is only fair that I should let others know and to show my modest and humble collection of my Patek to commemorate okumangoe collection.
(Not to brag and boast but to enjoy sharing with others)

I had only started to collecting a few years ago when my business was growing in JPN and was able to spare a little more time and money for the collection.

Thanks to my AD and my good luck,I was able to buy them most of it at retail price or close to retail for the discontinued ones (3800j and 5065j) before the corona despite of the crazy hike in the prices as of recent days .

I never think the way that it was a investment for the money, but rather pure joy of owning the beautiful pieces for the healing of my soul
during tough times.

Especially during the period of Corona pandemic, it helped me from mental depression a lot since I can only stay home and no traveling world wide that I used to do.
But more surprisingly it turned out to be the best asset investment next to Tesla shares.

My only wish is to cherish and enjoy them for the rest of my life and pass on the treasures to my next generation.( My children says they rather want Apple Watch now 😭)

Any comments welcome 🙏

PS
Which one is your favorite Model that you want to pick one in the collection?

First of all welcome 🙏 secondly I would not call that a modest collection 👍

My favorite of your beautiful collection would be the 5231J. Fram

Beautiful collection

By: Robert65 : February 9th, 2022-20:59

You're being modest, which is a great trait! Today's valuations (chrono 24) would have your modest collection approaching one mil if not surpassing.

Thank you for your comments

Rare handcrafts really makes me high though only one I have is this at the moment.

Thank you so much for the first comments

By: Prelude : February 10th, 2022-21:11

I am also in love at first sight with 5231

A warm-hearted welcome here, Prelude

By: MTR : February 9th, 2022-20:58

I appreciate your very reflected, almost philosophical post very much. „I never think the way that it was an investment for the money, but rather pure joy of owning the beautiful pieces for the healing of my soul during tough times.“ That’s true passion. ...

Thank you Thomas for your comments.

Passion for time is really important in my limited time 😉

My pleasure, Prelude

By: MTR : February 10th, 2022-13:21

Passion for limited time... That is one of the reasons why this hobby fascinates me so much. Aside from the fact that some watches are real works of art for the wrist that you can (theoretically always) carry with you, and apart from the anachronism of me...

I completely agree with you 👍👍👍

By: Prelude : February 10th, 2022-21:23

Modest collection? 😆 You are too modest!

By: KCLQMULKU : February 9th, 2022-21:06

I would say that to be a humble Patek collector's collection, which is very different to a mere collection. 5231 and 5170 for me!

Thanks for the compliment.

By: Prelude : February 10th, 2022-16:02

I like your green wolf icon👍

First of all, a sincere welcome and Thank-You for joining our forum! You have a remarkable Patek collection, which you should be proud to have put together and to now thoroughly enjoy!

By: FabR : February 9th, 2022-21:15

Like you said, the important thing is that these beautiful objects (and, sometimes, artworks) bring us joy and pleasure! The fact that you were able to obtain most of these marvels from your AD also speaks volumes about your quality as a collector and con...

Hello and thank you for your reply.

By: Prelude : February 10th, 2022-21:17

I hope to see more of your rare handcrafts because it really inspires me a lot. I think they are heritage produced by craftsman ship because of the baking each model is different from one another , and you are the owner on one particular unique piece in t...

My sincere pleasure to share, Rare Handcrafts are indeed one of the corners of Patek's production that I am madly in love with, because of the unique marriage of art and horology that they represented at the highest possible levels! ;-)

By: FabR : February 10th, 2022-22:01

No two Rare Handcraft dials are of course equal, almost by definition, which makes them even more personal and special to a collector's eyes! ;-) You have such a nice collection that it would make sense for you to request Patek an out-of-catalog Rare Hand...

Thank you for the wonderful photo

By: Prelude : February 11th, 2022-14:27

I will try to ask my AD about the master piece 😆 Your school of fish is a really eye catching stunner and much lively than the actual aquarium 👍

Much appreciated, and again best of luck with your application for one of these lovely Patek artworks!!🙏😉🥂

By: FabR : February 11th, 2022-15:00

Amazing collection!!

By: Patekfinity : February 9th, 2022-21:18

You have a collection that most collectors would salivate over… there are the sports references, a cloisonné world time, and chronos!! A lot of people would be happy with just one but you have a range of references that are the most sought after!! Simply ...

Thank you for your comments

By: Prelude : February 10th, 2022-21:22

The more you get knowledge of the Patek watch, the more you want the different models🤣 I only have two hands to wear them and have to control the never ending desires which is very hard😉

Welcome here! I will have to dig into a dictionary the definition of Modest... :)))

By: amanico : February 9th, 2022-22:04

PS: To answer your question, I would pick the 5231J, here. But I am totally biased as I am a big World Time fan.

By: amanico : February 10th, 2022-09:28

Thank you for your comments

By: Prelude : February 11th, 2022-09:09

I am also a big world time fan and admire the beautiful art👍

I vouch for the 5231 and 5170p. those subtle diamond indicies...

Thank you for your comments!

By: Prelude : February 11th, 2022-18:18

Yes the diamond indices are not so flashy but like a hidden jewels which attracts me also😉

Welcome and thanks for sharing your superb collection. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of them on your wrist!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : February 9th, 2022-23:11

Thank you for your comments aka

By: Prelude : February 11th, 2022-22:02

Yes I will try to upload more wrist shots in the future 👍

Welcome to the forum. Picking a favorite is like picking your favorite child.

By: Bill : February 10th, 2022-00:41

You have a great theme going. Wondering what other brands you enjoy. Looking forward to more post. We are all happy to share and never to judge.

Thanx for your comments Bill

By: Prelude : February 12th, 2022-13:56

Yes I totally agree that everyone is like a child. Each has its own story for acquisition and development. I tend to like the one which is not so much active and popular but has deep inner spirit and intuitive one.

Lovely collection and welcome!

寝転がってお腹に載せてみるときにこの4つ入るケースは役に立ちます🤣🤣🤣

I feel so lucky that I could get a 5065 in full set and seeing its price going up a lot too. I am also regret that I slipped the chance of getting a 3800 at a more reasonable price compared with nowadays

By: Ch1982 : February 10th, 2022-02:03

Thanx for the comments

By: Prelude : February 13th, 2022-15:53

Yes the spike in Aquanautilus was unexpected and even this last 2 month was shocking 😅😅😅 I also missed many opportunities but tend to think that I was not destined with the model 😂

my favorite would be the 5170 chrono. Great collection. It is certainly not a humble collection. :)

By: Michaelndn : February 10th, 2022-03:27

Thanx for the comments

By: Prelude : February 14th, 2022-16:55

I too like this chrono very much especially under the sun beam.

A super set of Pateks. I would suggest that the word of "modest" requires a little re-evaluation!!!!

By: nasseriq : February 10th, 2022-05:36

and for me the pick is the 5170.

By: nasseriq : February 10th, 2022-05:37

Thanks for the comments

By: Prelude : February 14th, 2022-16:57

5170 recently receives very high popularity inspire it was underrated for many years

A warm welcome to our Patek forum and thanks for sharing !

By: GLau : February 10th, 2022-10:49

These pieces are highly sought after and having them under one roof makes your collection top-rated ! Naturally, as the self proclaimed enamel slave/addict on this forum, I am biased toward your 5231J ! The combination of hand-made enamel dial in a WT cas...
