This yellow gold Patek Philippe ref. 3821/1 features a bracelet crafted by Jean-Pierre Ecoffey . The links are sculpted into repeating “ bamboo ” bars. The case measures 32 mm and the watch is powered by calibre 177 . My feelings are mixed : some part of ...
I really like the watch “head”, from the numerals to the hands, aged dial - very nice. The size is in smaller Sie but for something that is obviously vintage, also ok. The bracelet for me didn’t age so well - I love many vintage bracelets, be it the older...
This one is perfect, versatile dress watch that can definitely be worn with casual outfit (like in the pictures). Lastly, even though the shape looks a bit out of fashion, I love it (including the bracelet), and bear in mind that fashion is cyclical, I am...

but to sip Negronis on the Amalfi coast during a cool autumn evening ... why not! the lovely lady next to you might have an eye to borrow it from you though, so be careful
I much prefer the solid braided pattern of other “geezer” type watches. Perhaps this one would be comfier to wear in the heat though with more airflow through the bracelet. I’ve yet to take the plunge on a solid gold bracelet though so it’s just theoretic...
but it's still a very original design element, imo. However, it doesn't change the fact that my feelings about this watch are very mixed. Best, Emmanuel
