I respect the brand and the watchmaking that went into this watch. But boy, a beauty it ain’t. To my eyes at least.
Hi 👋 All, a recent GTG had me seeing (and wearing) one of the 30 pieces LE MR ! It is none other than
the 1938P ! This piece is an heirloom from a big and loyal Patek collector. Naturally he has a strong relationship with the Stern family and admires this watch. I am happy for him and his next generation(s) ! Interestingly it was the eventual heir that al...
Thanks for sharing candid pics of the 1938P, Gordon! . . .
. . . as an admirer of the brand and respectful of the manufacture, I can only bow to the owner of this reference. Art
Thanks for sharing
It's definitely a piece of art. But that's how it is with art. It doesn't suit every taste. This watch is not beautiful at all in my opinion. But at least it's rare.
Thanks Gordon, for your nice post
It’s a rare privilege to get to handle such a watch. Interesting comment on the volume.
Yes Christian, irrespective of how one feels about the dial, handling this MR was
a different kind of experience
Thanks very much for sharing
I would love to see an edition with Thierry Stern, for the response.
Thank you for sharing this special piece!
I won’t write a novel about how much I understand this watch, but I can tell you that if I would be lucky to own such watch, I promise to wear it in short sleeves, even in the brutal cold New York winter!!! 🤣
Haha...in such situation, you should have went to
Henri Stern & Watch Agency and pleaded your case !
This is certainly a masterpiece…
And it certainly must have been a fantastic experience! However, I think this is only for the die hard fans who have already other Patek repeaters…. Cheers, Dirk
Such an intriguing piece.
I'm sure it has been very nice handling it. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. This watch is absolutely bonkers.
The dial is a work of art. The breguet numerals are just perfect. The hunter case back is pure class. And then there’s the movement - just pure perfect. You’re very lucky to be able to handle this beauty. Congratulations.
For me the enamel addict/slave, seeing the enamel dial and
pulling the slider were simply amazing !
Yes, an amazing piece, especially with
Breguet numerals and pomme hands which are so delicious 😋!
I think he's asking us to delete his own post.
He may have typed something and then deleted it out.

I know there are different opinions re this reference.
But when you think of it as an homage, it’s truly special. Thank you for sharing.
