Patek Philippe: One on the wrist

Just got mine a month or so ago. Very happy, lovely weight and the dial really pops in the sunlight.

Patek Philippe: Nice dilemma

A very nice shortlist. All are great choices. 5231 and 5327 are at opposite ends of the availability spectrum. 5231 is an application piece and will be impossible to get at Msrp from an AD without a big purchase history. 5327 like you say should not involve too much of a search. 5236 is interesting

Patek Philippe: Impeccable taste

I too was at the event, a shame we did not speak Sham!

Patek Philippe: Anybody out there have the Hamilton and Inches 5130P Edinburgh. That really is a beauty. As a native it's my ultimate Patek. [nt]
