Yep, I happened to visite their handcraft shops as well in Sorrento last year (and even got a haircut for free in one of them, but that’s a different story!)...A whole region I do appreciate a lot for their creativity!😉👍 [nt]

Just thought I would share some pictures.. the 5575 is for myself the 7175 my wife would probably love to have it but it’s never been used and will be given to my daughter when Patek celebrate its 200 year anniversary 😂 Have a great weekend everyone 👍 Fra...

175 anniversary watches - some pictures

Lovely 5575 and its partner !

Don’t understand your question 😂 [nt]

My question Edited now [nt]

One of my daughter’s after I’m in the ground 😂 [nt]

Both are really beautiful and special.

Thanks 👍 [nt]

Congrats on a great duo, the 5575 became an instantaneous icon👍👍Here’s my 175th anniversary bracelet and watch (5089G-020)🥂

Love that watch 👍👍👍 [nt]

Oh my word!

Thanks, and I'm sure that if I were able to take decent pictures, you'd like it even more! ;-) The dial is wood marquetry and you can literally see the slivers of wood with a loupe...

Incredible and congratulations!

Patrick, you are correct that there are 1 or 2 craftsmen that do marquetry at Patek BUT there are many more than a few than do it elsewhere and for others besides Patek 😉 [nt]

Ahh! I stand corrected. I was only aware of the one at Patek and his apprentice.

No worries my friend. Vacheron, Chopard, and a few others also do marquetry so just wanted to point that out as Patek is not the only ones to do it 😉 [nt]

That's true! I've even seen a Cartier with wood marquetry.

Voilà. Don't worry Patrick, we're all getting old but maybe science and technology will help us all live a bit longer...

If that ever happens Justin they better tell me fast, as I’d need to postpone my retirement by about 120 years!!😂😉Cheers. [nt]

+1! Wouldn't want to run out of money at 150 years of age!

LOL, we would all need to do that but since it's too late for me I'd better start looking for another career for the next 150 years or so 🤣😂 [nt]

;-)) [nt]

Sign me up!

Big +1 👍 [nt]

Here’s one at a Hermes boutique Patrick (the wrist is my girlfriend’s), a beautiful wood marquetry as well:

Very pretty girlfriend!

🙏🙏🥂 [nt]

A M A Z I N G 🔥🔥💥💥 [nt]

Correct, in fact for the past many years Jerome Bouttecon has been the *only* artisan authorized by Patek to create these incredible dials, they are frankly masterpieces...

Very cool indeed! And a very special piece. It's in the right hands!

Makes me miss Sorrento. Can't wait to travel. Italy is such a nice place to visit! [nt]

It is, definitely my next destination as soon as they let me back in!😂🥂 [nt]

I'm not picky. I'll go nearly anywhere. Have bags. Will travel.

As soon as the world reopens, if you travel to Italy you should let me know and it will our pleasure to host you — I’m planning to be back again on this beach all of next May thru August!😎

Such cool pictures, especially the last one... Did you have Patek make this dial just for you? ;-) [nt]

Thanks, hard to find a watch with more meaning to me (my hometown, my favorite brand, and my favorite techniques all miraculously coming together in this piece! :-)

Yes and the watch has been perfectly allocated in my opinion

Thanks, though I wouldn’t necessarily rule out Norway — it naturally offers plenty of inspiration, and many choices are unrelated to the market (think of the 2019 African elephant ;-)

Get them to make a enamel piece of the pulpit Rock would be nice. 😂 can you do some lobbying for me 😂😂😂

Wow, I just looked it up...unfortunately for you, if I ever were able to convince Patek to do that, then I would want it for myself! ;-)))

That wouldn't be fair 😂 it's really close to my home

😂😍😍[nt]

Agreed, it couldn't have gone to a better wrist! [nt]

Close to miraculous indeed! What a great story. This piece was clearly meant for you! :-)

Thank you😉🥂 [nt]

I'd love that!

👍👍it would be my pleasure!🥂 [nt]

Superb duo. I have a preference for the G, but just because it is not jeweled. Even if in this case I understand why. [nt]

Me to 😂 [nt]

Very lovely set! [nt]

Thanks 👍

Hope your daughter realised how lucky she is ...

Hopefully being a good dad is more then a watch... in the end they will get all my watches anyways 😏 [nt]

lovely his and hers- PP certainly know how to package a watch! [nt]

Thanks 👍.

Wonderful pair and amazing gift that your daughter will treasure 🔥 [nt]

Hopefully [nt]
