Patek Philippe

It's that time of year again, kiddies...I get to shoot the Barron's Roundtable and Oscar Schafer gets to show me what he bought this year.....



Yup...this year Oscar kicked up a million for a 5207 !!! Now most of you know that Oscar's got all the cool toys that Patek makes, but even he's impressed with this one. He even pulled out his iPad to show me schematics of the movement and quicktime movies of super-secret exploded views that only the real insiders get to look at.....quite a learning experience, I must say!

See y'all next year!

Any cover pics from magazines featuring OS?

 

Julian

...I'd get an ass-kicking if I dropped any cover pix before the magazine publishes...next week.......

BT

i read your blog and now i'm really looking forward to your post on this photoshoot (i'm assuming there will be one)..

...there's gonna be an extra-long blog post about this day, trust me! Right now it's almost midnight and I'm sitting here processing almost 1,000 RAW files....about 35GB of raw data......sheesh....!!! The Photoshop compositing work on this one is gonna kill me!

BT

Why not a report on Oscar's collection? That would be some photo story ...

Thanks for the teasers!

nice work Brad!

the others I saw were the 5078P and the 5101P

What else will wee see in the next years ?

Thanks for posting

...the 5016P.....





And these are just the ones I've seen...he assures me there are a lot more!!!

BT

He is wearing a wonderful PP 5106P!!

If I would ever win the lottery I would buy this in a heartbeat, even if the watch is way to small for my wrist / taste

I think it would be the only small watch I would love to own

Great to see someone who enjoys there money.  Why not!

ties ...

mine have different colours

This is my favourite kind of tie!

Wouldn´t mind to share the watches as well

My absolutely favourite grail Patek.

It's the first one that i have seen "Out in the wild".

Brad, sorry for being so naive, but how do I follow your tweet, so that i can read and see more of your article?

My apologise, for a stupid question, from a UK member, but who is Oscar?

Is he head of a huge company or something?

Oscar Schafer is the President and Managing Partner of O.S.S. Capital Management, a hedge fund based in New York. He has been a member of the Barron's Roundtable for a number of years. The Roundtable is made up of ten of the Smartest Business Guys In The Room who get together in January with the editors of Barron's Magazine and try to predict the World markets for the coming year. Here's my report from last year...

the roundtable, enough to move the markets even with informal casual talks

awesome piece!

Thanks for the pic Brad.

I remember last year you told us that Oscar had just purchased a 5207 and I was hoping he'd wear it for this years photo shoot, glad he did.

Really looking forward to seeing some more pics. Hopefully you got some close ups of the 5207

are you kidding...LOL

perhaps the modern day James Ward Packard or Henry Graves Jr...

we are humbled by great collectors like this.

Best
