Patek Philippe

I would wear the first variant.

 

I like the dial of the first variant more.  And the fact that it's steel doesn't bother me.  To me, steel, gold, platinum, are all nice.  I'll even wear titanium watches!  I guess I'm not discerning on case materials!  I must be a "liberal" when it comes to case materials!  I probably wouldn't be excited about a plastic cased watch though.

facted glass provides the angle to match the case ! Lovely to me ! How many pieces are you pursing now ?

I'm glad you like it.

I'm not actively pursuing any piece right now. But some watches still get me very excited. Best, Emmanuel PS: do you like the work of Anita Porchet for Piaget, which I have highlighted here: Piaget: Enamel Scrimshaw Marvels ?
