Patek Philippe 3448 White Gold.

I don't think we can always understand why people do certain things or treasure certain details but speaking of myself, I cannot understand paying a massive premium for a unique dial

Well said, and great point. Patek can charge whatever it wishes for anything they make..... we know there are many billionaires with literally tons of cash to throw at yaghts, watches, etc.
