I took the plunge on this little delight! :-)
While waiting for my 3878J (the pretty skeleton which I have been tormenting all of you on this forum), I thought I might amuse myself with this under rated 5099RG. The watch came with its original box and papers and was in super mint condition even spotting its original Patek blue sticker on its cover. I can see myself wearing this watch on special occasions due to its unusual case and I would like to keep it in as new condition for as long as possible. Apparently, this watch was produced between 1999 and 2001 and only fewer than 350 pieces exist. It was never very popular during its time and it is an acquired taste with its small size (perfect for me!) and the hinged cover which selfishly allows only the wearer to view the time. Yes, this watch is so me 
Thank you for reading.
You bought it ultimately! Super Sham. Big big congratulations for this unusual and amazing Patek

Thank you so much Alkiro!
You are the first to reply as usual
I bought it a few hours ago and am pleased that I did. It is rare to find a watch where everything is right - size, weight, rarity, price, pedigree. Next watch - hopefully the 3878J

You’re on fire my friend 😊 Keep them coming
This 5099 is truly splendid with this little “twist” we talked about. I’m really happy for you 👍

Quite rare actually
for me to buy two watches in two weeks (the Cartier tank cintree and this delightful gem). I really hope I can get the Patek skeleton later this year when I can afford it
Thanks Alkiro!
I am really hoping that the Patek Salon will keep the watch out of its display cabinet for the next 6 months. I would be eternally grateful
You think so ?!
They know me quite well and I hope they like me too because I do like them (is that a bit too much??!! )
)
This watch clearly makes your heart beat faster. It’s a tell-tale sign my friend 😉

I am doomed!
I have absolutely no hope! A total lost cause unless a fellow purist drops by at the Salon and makes it his!
I am glad you feel that way, cruel as it may sound! :-)
August cannot come soon enough!!
Unfortunately the Cartier
will only be delivered in November so hopefully my 2 watch collection, until earlier today, will increase to 5 by November - a 150% increase!!!
I am just glad that I am not brave enough
to venture into stock markets. I am infamously boring and predictable
Same for me. Unfortunately (not really to be truly honest), stock markets were my job 😉

You are smarter than I am!
No one will ever want to trade with my small size watches. My current largest watch is 34.6mm (the 7200R London Edition)
You know, it’s far to be easy. Especially when you want specific timepieces. But, it’s a way to downsize my collection
Well, time to go to sleep my friend 😉

Good night Alkiro!
I have an early flight to Scotland tomorrow. No watches, just amazing scenery and snow
Thank you my friend
Travel safe and enjoy your trip in my favourite foreign country 🙏
