Mystery Patek arriving
Greetings Patek lovers,
Finally - van parked in front of the house.
After signing for box, they brought it inside where it awaits me tonight. Will share fotos when I open.
Best,
Wife shared fotos as they awaited FedEX delivery this morning.

If the Patek is 1/2 as handsome as the dog, you are a lucky man

Well done 👍 Robert with your
guard dog 🐕 protecting your prized possession! Are you sure that it will ALLOW you to take the box away from it ?
Any hints ? Sporty, classic, chrono, travel time , ding 🛎️ ding 🛎️ ding 🛎️ , etc ???,
Understood Amanico. I'm stretching out my anticipation of opening the box because it took 6 years (of a minimum of things going wrong in my life) to assemble the funds. This is a very rare event for me.

Oh yes, I totally understand that. I would never have posted this package, I would have kept it secret for a long time, just ot enjoy it selfishly... There are watches I got in 2012 I never posted! :))))
When front door is open she's in work mode
Her incoming treat will be 225 grams of food when I get home 
Congratulations and enjoy!
Sadly, I don't get this "anticipation" feeling anymore... I have watches from 2019 that I haven't opened the boxes to. Yikes. And I don't think I've really worn many Pateks since June of last year when I brought one of my Pateks to Tokyo for the Patek Philippe exhibition. Love to see your excitement and looking forward to the reveal!
Patrick, thank you for sharing.
For my wife and I - a moment like this is the culmination of extreme sacrifice of several years. Zero restaurant outings, no take-out nor delivery food, no movie theaters, very few outings, one mini-vacation per year, etc. We've been happily operating on discipline mode. Kind of like a sport. Not looking for sympathy at all because we understand the crazy exclusivity/blessing of being able to acquire a Patek. To be sure we are punching way above our weight class to be able to do this and we're beyond excited to open the box tonight.
A toast to you and Meaningful indulgences!
Sounds like your wife might want to borrow your watch on occasion!
Kudos to you for defining a goal and working towards it. I for one (and probably most others) can relate to and appreciate this.
I hope it is all the more sweet. What we attain too easily, we esteem too lightly. Words I often think of.
Congrats and enjoy!

Extra insurance
From the delivery truck to the front door. Congrats and beautiful dog!
I'm waiting for the big reveal. Looks like you own or have owned other Pateks so surprised to hear about the level of sacrifice this watch took
True - I do own one other Patek
And that only other Patek required 9 years of dedicated savings. That's why this is my last watch. These watches require too many years of extreme financial sacrifice. I'm not a watch-a-holic nor a collector. I simply appreciate them

Robert
