Reminds me of the Generations campaign Mini-movie "To my Son"

LOL! I watched that Patek mini-movie about that Father giving his son an engraved Calatrava. Apparently he gave it to his son too young or too immature... because the son sold it like a total jerk! Best, Robert

Patek journey (part 2) Thorstein's Simple Epiphany

Patek Philippe 2583J

A rare one it seems as I believe less than a few hundred in any metal of this reference were produced in the mid to late 50s. The likes of the 2526 actually made in larger numbers, around 2000. Only a few 2583 seem to have turned up at auction these last

You're most welcome! And, I for one, can totally see your perspective!

I'm a collector/enthusiast too. However, having worked in the industry too, I have a slightly different perspective and I recognize the biases that collectors have. We will definitely look forward to any future announcements! But with the thousands of pie
