Been a bit naughty today

[x5x3]

went out for a walk to enjoy the good weather and take a few photos, happened to pop into a shop and came out with this;

[Stu R]

Stunning.

[Not Ideal]

Absolutely stunning congrats.

I wore an aquanaut for my wedding.

[RichTT]

Wish I had the means to buy a Patek on a whim whilst out for a walk. Stunning pick up though!

[Miguel Alvarez]

Very jealous, impressed, jealous and err jealous lol. That is a lovely watch.

[Mr Happy]

That is simply beautiful!

The green-eyed monster in me says "hope you get both arms amputated at the elbows!" but I keep him under control!!

Congratulations

[x5x3]

thanks all - it was only a sort of whim, been plotting to get one for a while - the problem today was they had one in stock and being an idiot I said, please could I try it on.... game over

[DH01]

Naughty but Very nice, Fair Play !

[bigsinky]

very nice indeedy. health to wear mate.

[kiteless]

That piece is a regular on PP ads on the back of Octane magazine, and I have always always loved it.

Exquisite.

[Ecurie Ecosse]

One word. Yes!

[andy_s]

I can't say I've looked hard enough into Patek to fully appreciate all the ins and outs, but I do know that is the one I would instantly go for if I had to/could get one. Beautiful.

And so much better as a casual purchase

What did you tell the Mrs it cost?

[CardShark]

Whilst there are more expensive and more complicated Pateks, as far as I'm concerned this one is "it" for me. Definitely one of Gerald Genta's finest.

Unplanned or otherwise, a rather fantastic purchase.

It's just a simple, effortless, elegant watch.

I usually divide by 10 on expensive stuff. It saves costly reciprocity.

"All my watches cost a couple of hundred each, but I think I'll make a profit if I sell..."

Then you negate the handbag/shoe comparison...

Exactly.

A friend recently bought a Patek complication in Platinum. £3,500 apparently (using the patented divide by 10 method). His wife still thought that was a lot for a watch.

This divide by 10 system is new to me, I like it. I was getting away with 'it's a chinese copy' for a while, until I was caught discussing service costs in a jewellers shop.
