Great idea, Erich, and, first of all, congratulations on your 1000 th to come!
But, before going on the Omega forum, a few words about this Vintage PP.
I'm not a colored gold but what's not to love here?
The delicately worked lugs, contrasting with the simple, sober beauty of the dial, that is indeed a keeper.
A piece which reveals the sure taste of his owner.
See you on the Omega Forum for the firework!
Best,
Nicolas.
My post number 999 should be a special one...
Hi fellas, as my post number 1000 approached I started a lot of consideration where to post it... I am torn between PP and Omega. So I made the decision to post 2 special watches, one on the PP forum will receive number 999 and the 1000th post will be on ...

Thank you for the kind words my friend! Glad you like it. See you on the Omega forum - post is ready now... kind regards Erich
Great piece Erich. I saw one similar in NYC earlier this year
Love those old PP cases with "flair" Off to Omega forum now Julian
I know that you...
Hi Julian, I know that you are also a "vintage guy" with beautiful pieces! It is a pity that there are so few vintage lovers here on this forum - it is completely different on the Omega forum - there we discuss mainly vintage pieces - interesting differen...
Lucky you!
Hi Roni, lucky you! This model is pretty scarce in any gold color. kind regards Erich
Wow! Never imagine that this would be a Patek.
It certainly got a lot of flair. Why it is call a flame? I'm not to familiar with the old world Patek. By the way is there something significant about the pre 60s models? Thanks for sharing the watch with us. Best Tyler
The name was chosen...
Hi Tyler, thank you for your kind comments. The name "flame" was chosen due to the shape of the lugs... There is noting particular for the pre 60ies models... I think you misunderstood my statement. I wanted to express that 99% of my watch collection (mos...
Superb watch (and my take on your remarks).
Hi, Congratulations on your 1000 posts and even more on your superb Patek Philippe. Have a look here, you're not the only vintage PP lover (as you in fact obviously): patek.watchprosite.com Why are there possibly more vintage watch lovers on the Omega for...
I appreciate...
Hi Jerome, I appreciate your kind comment and I also agree with what you wrote about PP watches. This is the reason why I have several pieces in my collection I do not collect modern Omegas, vintage only. And there are incredible pieces, both in aesthetic...
congrats on your 999th post, Erich...
... thanks for posting this beautiful "flame" PP. my knowledge on PP is very little. your PP looks very nice to me. by the way, how to call the lugs. to me at my sight it looks like drumstick (sorry for ignorance)? stefan
The name of the model derived...
Hi Stefan, thank you for your kind comments. The name of this model derived from the shape of the lugs which look like flames... kind regards erich
Beautiful flame lugs !
Thanks for sharing. I think vintage Patek is a fantastic world to dive into. I am just looking at it for the moment, maybe it will be more concrete one day . cheers Francois
It is the right time to...
Hi Francois, it is the right time to start now! 1) Vintage pieces are smaller than the contemporary ones - so they can be bought much cheaper as fashion commands large pieces now... 2) Due to the financial crisis some people have to sell now... a chance t...
