Patek Philippe

So, this Patek "toolwatch" has been on my wrist for a week now. I agree with Oliver that it needs a nice black leather strap..... I will go for mat black alligator. I have spent the last week looking at this watch so much.....from wearing a pair of jeans going out for a coffee to having dinner in a suit, it has been on my wrist the whole time and sat perfectly at home in all environments. Here are a few I took today from the garden.

Such a wonderful profile......the lugs are just superb to my eye. 

Yes, after a week i know that this is a great watch for my collection. Absolutely no regrets here.

......i am just relieved that I don't judge my masculinity by the size of my watch.

Congrats, once more!

.....on the one hand, I agree with you on the strap.....on the other, my wife likes the brown leather....uhhhm. 

when it comes to simple & brown leather - without any "fancy" stitching.

Matt finished aligator or even calf/pork - not too dark, not too light.

The added "warmth" should looks just perfect ...

Regular straps of today look (slightly) different most of the time, but I think it´s worth the hunting or going bespoke.

Example of a regular strap ...






Only minor differences to most ...

Too often I see outstanding watches with "ordinary" straps and I never will understand why people take so much attention to the watch only. Me always asking for more

Cheers,
Oliver

 

.....strap hunting....next week!
