Patek Philippe

It was the holidays so decided i needed a new watch case. Sadly, seems there 'needs to be' at least two more Pateks in my stable

FYI: The B&R was for when i was racing in Formula 2000 and the vintage Omega was mine and then my brother's (who passed away) and now mine again.

stored in a very sophisticated solution   Love it!

As my wrist are quite small, anything over 44mm just looks nearly clownishly large on me (like a 58mm on most others). I fact my fiancé (wife on Valentine’s Day) has a wrist slightly smaller than mine, so we can mix/match/swap watches.  The 5066a is for her to match the 5167a for me as we are very active plus the 5066a uses an automatic/mechanical movement and not quartz as found in some other Patek women’s timepieces. Then again only I get to wear the just serviced by H. Stern 3970er J

Great pics, far better than i can probably do, are already online. See tinyurl.com For many years admired the 5099 and one day finally gave in

 

Don't be shy,  post yours including a wristshot please! Your pics are excellent!

...is a small storage area for Patek soft cases, various straps, pocket watch(s) and as you can see someone was thinking as the industry standard Bergeon tool fits perfectly. This allows me to easily change straps on the fly, grab only one watch and case if needed for other travelling, etc. It is more than just a 'pretty face' case

Hope this helps as few stores stock it and there seems to be quite some interest in the case. It really is great and there is plenty of room/space for those of you with larger-sized watches so your watch cases do not damage/bang one another during travelling. The smaller LV three watch case seemed to not offer such watch case protection so this was the obvious answer for me. YMMV.

Thanks for sharing!

I never like anything LV, but this is something I need to relook. I never have to bring out so many timepieces outside of my home at once, perhaps just 2-3 timepieces at most when I fly. Is there smaller nice looking one like yours to recommend?

...like the logo all my LV products are plain with a small impressed logo that you can hardly see, the quality of the leather goods is amazing a bit expensive but will last a lifetime.

Mech, they have a smaller case for three watches in classic monograms and black leather (see below pic), yet what concerned me was the lack of 'sectioning' and, thus, cases could possibly rub one another during travel. You can do a search on the LV site and click the SEE ALL RESULTS at http://tinyurl.com/c8rd2nu

See below pic for the three watch case in black to see what i mean about the lack of separation.

for the heads up.

I like the watch box too but if I used it as a travel watch box I think it's just too much of a magnet to criminals who would clearly have a field day with a collection like yours. I imagine the box and contents look magnificent on a beautiful piece of furniture at home though.

I don't walk around waving it in the air when travelling. You are right it does look great on the wood shelf or table. It is a bit extravagant but you only live once. Same can be said for enjoying a Patek versus...

The reality is that you don't have to wave your bling in the air to get noticed and become a target. I didn't think for a minute that you would be waving it in the air!

least in this part of the world, LV is deemed like a 'heartland' item unfortunately  

I'm not sure that a collection of Royal Oak Offshores would look right! 

I have the green leather case and I simply reverse the heads so a clasp is next to dial of the next watch in line. I would not line them up in a row as they could slide into each other. You can really secure them in this case as the cushion is soft.

love the 3970 and 5110!!  two of my absolutely favorite watches!

I would love the tan leather handle they do to be on the case for secure transport. I drop things.

Great your LV box!
I think that for you now your Omega watch is the most valuable as it was from your brother.
But please remove the giant B&R... it is not too nice to see it with your great Patek watches....
You only need a single small step to improve the whole lot. Congratulations!!!

... is that a 3970J or a 5970J?
