unfortunately i wasn't blessed for that...i lived in Thailand for 8 years almost since 2008....
i've heard lot about the Singa family through my friends at work & discovered the national spirit...
The man of true passion for Patek Philippe with THE timepieces!
Grand Master Chime 5175 and 6002 ...
Always a special treat when you share those exceptional pieces!
There is a lot that I dislike about modern PP. But at the top of the range it is a different story.... A man (and family) of great tastes, thank you!
I think I echo what everyone else has said.
Wow. Iโm speechless. Thanks for the pictures.
Maybe #1 Patek Philippe collector in the world!
I believe that 100%. Mr Bhirombhakdi was also a FP Journe's collector (shown in Japanese magazine many years ago), just...wow!
a true leader & great respects...
he have transformed lifes of many people with his work in Thailand...i saw the respect Thai people hold for his work, i've seen it first hand... of course speaking about him there is no way to miss his passion of watches...inspirational personality ! Than...

wow ! Thanks, These are absolutely stunning pieces ! IMO, these two are the ...
top two pieces from Patek ! Please continue with this type of posts covering very rare Pateks !
I love when you post pictures of your father, CBB
it is easy to sense that he had true passion. My favorite picture is the last of them, where he is pointing at his watch, in front of the open Leica catalogue. He seems to me, to have been a remarkable person
What a great post...
it is always such a pleasure reading one of your posts, especially if it contains some photos or anecdotal stories of your father. It just makes things more personal and sentimental. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you
It means a lot as I really want people to know that he was person of real watch passions
And that passion was
Clearly passed down to you and it looks like you are nurturing it in your children. That is wonderful. But also wonderful that you share these experiences and pictures. Your familyโs journey with Patek is a rare one. You have hands on experience through o...
Are we impressed by the watches or the cost?
My question is, do you LIKE his watches? I do not. I understand they were outrageously expensive. But do you like them? Does this aspect matter to you? I am not trying to 'hijack' the thread but... can we be candid? Do we have to automatically love this m...
Actually I do like the watches.
Sometimes watches are more artistic endeavors. These particular watches, as I may be falsely understanding, are meant to showcase multiple areas of craftsmanship that all reside under the house of Patek. The design intent is showcase, not daily beater. Ca...
Iโm not trying to brag
I simply want to show a manโs ( my late father ) true passion and not collecting watches for profit like so many people do now. He genuinely appreciate the artesian, the craftsmanship of time pieces. Itโs HIS hobby and he did within his own means and his ...
Hi cbb, please continue to post your dad's, your family's and your collection ! No matter how huge or how humble one's collection is, IMO sharing (our horological passion)...
is caring !! I for one like seeing the rare pieces being worn by your father because they are being enjoyed.
Fantastic
I would guess that you are one of two out of seven having both these references (you and the Patek museum) ๐๐ but maybe Iโm wrong.
Maybe 1 of 7?
I figured, anyone who is lucky enough to own the GMC is a true Patek fan and hence, would most probably own the 6002 too ๐
It definitely shows passion ๐๐
I had the chance to try them both on at the salon and they are definitely wonderful but i still feel they are to big ...
What your posts show in the most delightful way is the extreme passion that your Dad had for the finest in modern horology
AND the source of your extreme passion for the watches your Dad so treasured. Also your posts show how you have carried on the family tradition in your own purchases of Patek. More important your posts clearly demonstrate the depth of your love for your D...
Thank you so much!
This means a lot to me that you really understand my reason for the posts! Thank you
My pleasure. I merely put into words that which to me seems so obvious.
Many of the most exotic and complicated Pateks that you post, rarely if ever, see the light of day. Often they are never seen in person or even in print - at best they are images in a catalogue. So to see photos of therm in the real and being enjoyed is a...
Any great time pieces
To me, are to be worn & enjoy and not to be saved in banks or vaults not to be seen.
Uh, how do you know I donโt have one?
๐ค Ok, I donโt ๐ This is a good CBB fan thread!
The big man himself just loved Patek Philippe.....
He may have been a billionaire..... He may have revolutionised the Thai beer industry...... He may have had a good life...... But the 1 thing he loved most was PATEK PHILIPPE. He was a very nice guy (I breifly met him over 15 years ago). Just a love for a...
Splendid Timepieces!
I super enjoyed my 6002G but have now sold it for an upgrade ๐ cannot wait! By the way iโm new here, but pleasure to meet you. All the way from London, United Kingdom ๐ฌ๐ง
