Patek Forever?
I always wondered about getting a tattoo. Is there anything I would want on my body forever (my lifetime)? This was one idea I am considering. The watch is real, the tattoo is fake, BTW. Hidden, personal, not controversial, small - prefer even smaller tha...
It's a cool logo....lots of people would ask what the tattoo meaning was.....most wouldn't know....
I wouldn't do your placement (it that's what you mean), but if I was so inclined to have that tattoo I'd do it in a different area.
Get it on your lower back a.k.a. a tramp stamp ;)
Maybee add a little "Tiffany & Co" as welll?
I would not do this
I love Patek. Adore them as a company. But at the end of the day, I hold no allegiance to Patek or any other manufacturer. Today all might be rosy and great. Tomorrow they decide to sell and change their business practice and start making pieces you don’t...
Wow 😳 Is that a
real tattoo ? If yes, you earned my respect as the Patek moderator! I am NOT worthy 🥲
Do not want to spoil you fun but
Do not do it, as a hardcode tattoo'ed man I know what it means to have something on you body that is forever. If your opinions or taste changes, you will regret this... what if: - Patek sells out to Swatch - Patek keeps on bringing out 5711 watches and lo...
I honestly have to agree with all the previous members...you know how much I LOVE Patek (and probably always will!), but I also don't like tattoos...so it's that easy of a choice for me! ;-))
However, my "compromise" has been this anniversary bracelet for the past 6 years (it was sent as a 2015 Christmas gift!).....a very simple accessory, and also the only one I *never* take off! Something along these lines could be worth thinking about Cheer...
just no ...
imagine wearing another watch with the wrong logo...seriously I would never do it even if they gift me 10 nautilus + 10 perpetual calendars
Let Thierry gift me 10% of the company…
I’ll tattoo a logo on my forehead. Till then- no.
Like versus love versus own
I really like watches but I love my family and friends only thing I really own is my body not interested in renting it out for statements
I love watches. I love some brands.
Not a chance in hell I’m going to get a tattoo of any brand, period. Branding has gone completely over the top nowadays. I even refuse to wear heavily branded clothing. I just want good quality stuff. I don’t need to be a walking advertisement for anyone....
Interesting topic, and of course only you will know the answer,
but in my view, no to a PP tattoo. It has to be something that you truly see yourself feeling proud of for scores to come. I would certainly avoid any branding like the plague, even if you were sponsored handsomely for it (I am sure even the Sterns would ...
One reason for posting was because of the pic.
Taken in the morning light after Christmas.
And so glad you posted this photo! One of my favourite classical ACs from Patek!
and in my favourite metal (short of P of course!)!
If there is meaning beyond the obvious then perhaps. But even then, I am not so sure it’s a wise idea.
Some here will recall a Paneristi who had the Panerai logo tattoo done. This was maybe 15 or so years ago. My recollection was the logo was less about the brand and all about the how the watches and Paneristi had brought new friendships and helped through...
I will throw in one more detail to consider..
I am not sure where you live or who your social circles are, but the calatrava cross can be mistaken for something else. I know, screw what other people think. Also I know what the calatrava cross means, but in certain places as a tatoo it will give off a...
Don’t Get a Tattoo
Aim high. Get another Patek Philippe watch. Next time, make it a Perpetual Calendar.
Great advice, everyone
I'm going to let this wear off and see if I really want another one. If I do, it will also be temporary. The idea of unwanted permanence, changing or mistaken meanings, lack of true personal significance, have always prevented me from getting a tattoo. It...
