Patek Philippe

Many details to look at

 

and to apppreciate in these older references. They make it very special, maybe because they are not as perfect as today's?

Thanks a lot for sharing those rare shots Joe. Enjoy it smile

Cheers, Mark

Patek Philippe 570G.... some fresh views

 
By: Baron - Mr Red : August 3rd, 2016-06:52
I have been collecting vintage Calatravas for the last 3 years now. I am at a point where I am very happy with the collection I have put together. It is very hard for me now to express a favourite as it is between this 570G and my 3417......it speaks volu...  

Thank you Nicolas.....

.....it is a pleasure to wear it. Simplicity and understatement....but at the same time something very iconic.

Actually....so different in so many ways.

Hands. Case depth. Case shape. Function. I had seen these watches as quite different beasts.......but in reality it is more than I had expected. 570 would be a lovely watch to wear any time... but it would handle black tie easily. 3417 is not so easy to t... 

LoL

London......later in 2016....late Q4? I actually blame you...btw...for getting me to look at that steel chrono.

Vintage, and vintage Pateks in particular is the way to go

Modern watches are simply too big, too overt, too expensive. At least Patek is offering a fair amount of 37 mm and even smaller pieces. Some dial pictures of your 570 and 3517 would be greatly appreciated! Best Moritz

Indeed....

....a good size...as you say... and SC is always nice on the Calatravas

Joe, it was a pity I never got to see this one in the flesh but I can see your "wearing dilemma" This one I think wins the good looking category!

Now as I go on my own existential collecting crisis, I must learn not to buy any more pieces but do as you have done- limit the number and collect wisely. Congrats again on your stunning collection Julian

Perfection in its class. Period.

There is really nothing more to say: perfection. You are a lucky guy Joe. Best Kari

Thanks Kari.....

....there has been a very specific pleasure in building up a PP collection .. and yes, when one comes across a version like this, it is a real pleasure to add it to the collection.

570G is always nice but yours is a jewel

In such a condition case / dial it is to die for. The dream of PP vintage lovers. Surely one of the greatest pièces of your collection. Enjoy it and wear it in the best of health my friend ! Best, Mike

thanks Mike......
