Patek Philippe

During a short stay in Paris last week, I was able to see and try on many watches about which I will post in the coming days/weeks. Among them was this rose gold Patek Philippe ref. 1415 HU , a model I thought I would never see in real life (and to which ...  

The 1415 in platinum is a pure madness, The 2523 is another dream... ...  

or the reference in general?

I’d also love seeing a ref. 542 someday: www.watchprosite.com

But, as always and very predictably, the warmth of rose gold speaks to me more. And I personally miss the flame hour hand, which is my favorite, as well as the Roman numerals. I love the 2523 too, but the feeling of having a precious piece of history on t...  

but the price is too high for me to consider it reasonably. I'll concentrate on the 5098 or 5100: things aren't yet completely settled in my mind.

when it comes to settling your mind on such matters! 😇

It's a fantastic watch and this particular example has all the details I love. Had I the funds, it would be mine...

Being able to try such a watch, and this example in particular, was wonderful. Best, Emmanuel

...... and despite its smaller size it actually fits and looks great on your wrist.

It was such a pleasure to be able to handle such a watch and try it on. This is really the core of Patek Philippe and the core of what I like about this brand. It felt like a piece of history on the wrist. You own a wonderful 3448, so I think you know exa... 

is so much better than the circle in my opinion 😇👌

This particular example has everything I personally like. Cheers, Emmanuel

IMO, although smaller in size, it packs a BIG punch 🥊 ! Next is for you to see the vintage enamel version. They are to die for !

I consider myself very lucky to have been able to see this one and would of course be enchanted if I ever come across an enamel example ! Have you ever seen one outside of the PP Museum ? In the museum I also found the pocket watch examples absolutely stu...  

GEM 💎! ...  

This is really the kind of Patek Philippe that makes me dream. I imagine making it yours was impossible, unfortunately...

To me the sizing feel just right. I hope that I can see it in person some day! Thanks for sharing!

I’m glad you like it too and hope you will also get the chance to see one. Best, Emmanuel

Looks very cool. To be able to experience wearing is a gem. Your blessed Quatro. 😄 Geross.

to have been able to handle such a watch! Best, Emmanuel

In the metal the condition is actually better than it looks on your pics due to light reflection. Of course it is not in NOS condition due to the age of this beautiful granny but the bezel and case is actually ok and the overall condition of the watch qui... 

happy that your discerning eye judged it to be in quite good condition (I wish I had your expertise to know if I can trust what I tend to feel or not). And I consider very lucky (or should I say “fortunate” - pun intended in French) the person who will be...
