What a cool one Nico. Again, Iβm amazed at how fantastic those vintage JL looks. The 13001 could have been made yesterday. Iβm wearing my summer G after my morning run and swim. Enjoy!
I can't stop her anymore, now she loves ALL watches and watch-related things! ;-))) I was plotting with an AD to get her a nice Patek (5212, which will take a couple weeks to arrive), after which I BADLY hope she's satisfied for a while.... ;-))))
I just love these special PPβs, and among those, your pond (or swarm) of fish to me is just magic !! ππ Continue to wear it in the very Best of your health !! PS: I trust, your girlfriend will be a very happy person with that upcoming PP !!
Many thanks my friend, this 5177G-028 was the 2021 Rare Handcraft I picked up over Christmas, and I'm still madly in love with it....the depth of the enamel work (by Ms. Porchet's atelier) is truly stunning and unique! :-)

The 5212 is a beautiful piece that is also nontrivial to get, so I'm very thankful that we can receive it so quickly (my girlfriend will go back to the US at the end of July and I'll follow in August, so times are as usual pretty tight! ;-) But in case she won't be satisfied at least until Christmas, I'll buy it back from her at retail! ;-)))))
Impossible not to be in love --- congrats on a remarkable Patek acquisition from your AD! ;-) Hard to beat both as an Aquanaut and as a summer watch, and the orange strap is definitely my favorite of the two ;-) Enjoy!
It was a nice experience to receive the first PP guarantee / document with my name on it. Now I am looking forward to finally handle the 5088p in real and make that decision. Have to take care that I don't get hooked too quickly ;-))
Having our name on the papers is indeed a huge cherry on the cake (and for the Pateks we like, also a nontrivial perk for our wallets! ;-)) Looking forward to your impressions once your AD receives the 5088!ππ₯
I'd definitely advise that, at least after a while when you are familiar with the watch. Patek of course offers a large variety of options, but two more I had shortlisted are the following (and pink is stil under consideration for the future! ;-)
