Late night photo shoot.......

Thought I would post a pic of the beautiful Calatrava. Shot on iPhone. The more you stare at it, more subtle details reveal themselves. The faceted hour markers (particularly like the cut at the long ends) and the gold dots above that seem to add an excla

Patek would prefer to prioritize customers who can become long-term loyal clients, not flippers.

This reference with colorful hands, markers and stitching is expanding the Calatrava line to become more stylish and sporty. I hear and understand about your concerns, and appreciate your comments. To me, assuming that only a small % of yearly production

Dial is a bit too busy for my liking. I spent a little time with a friend's 5131p and while it was beautiful to look at, was just not for me. Re: 5134G, I quite like the idea of it. The aesthetic works for me. I prefer manual wind, given that I have a num

Because it seems there is sanctioned “blackmail” if it’s Patek’s own products of buying a Calatrava, complications, etc. to get an aquanaut or nautilus. I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with that too—it’s just the word they use. And I can see why

Problems arise when there are mismatches between demand and supply. I understand that Patek is its own storied institution, steeped in tradition, and that I have absolutely no right to tell them what to do, but any junior economist will tell you that prob

cash only is a strange request. Who wants to walk around with tens of thousands of dollars ? On payments, I experienced being requested to use a different credit card in order to lower the transaction fee for my next purchase. I got the hint and was happy
