Many thanks,it is stunning (I think), My daughter who likes Jacobs etc loves it therefore I cannot . It seems a bit over the top from Patek. I prefer a Patek to be slightly more subtle (an academic arguement I fear)
I am sure I saw a Ladies' Patek picture on the forum recently. It was covered in diamonds and had a red dragon (different stones?) on the face. I said to my daughter, who has a small watch collection, that she should buy this one (or not) . When I tried to find the picture it seems to have disappear
What a great combination,if someone had suggested a brown strap with that colour of watch I would have said no, it would be wrong, yet it is the exact opposite,it looks great. Congratulations R Ian
Much appreciated answers. I was not sure whether to go for the Patek 5002 at £250.000 ish but,after your advise will probably go for one of your suggestions. I always find it interesting how other owners think, the submariner was always a possibility but the others have added food for thought,

My first (only!) Patek is a 5712 RG and I love it,sometimes when I check the time i have forgotten I am wearing it and it still surprises me how stunning it is,a little bit like a surprise reflection of yourself in a mirror,it takes a second before you realise it is yourself,the difference with the
Hi,just a general question for one and all that has intrigued me for some time. If I see an advert for a BMW, a new flat somewhere etc etc,the advert always (or nearly always) has a price. Why do watch adverts never have a price,even if it is a "rack rate " price,I always feel slightly disappointed
