Patrimony Power Reserve White Gold - Can anyone help me with the models?
Hi all! Im looking at purchasing my first proper watch and whilst it will proably be a pre-owned lower end model this will still be quite a big investment for me. I have always like Vacheron but fell in love with the 1755 Jubilee in white gold / platinum ...
