Joined the club!

Been collecting watches for the past 6 years. Always knew would eventually get a patek but was never sure which one.

The one that originally caught my eye was the 5296g sector dial several years ago. Something about it that was so charming, quirky, and beautiful all at the same time. Looked into briefly but didn’t get the opportunity to pull the trigger.

Fast forward to today. Went in looking for a 5196p (which is gorgeous btw). But there it was again right next to it in excellent preowned condition with its gorgeous blue hands just staring at me. So here we are! Pretty sure wont be the last!

Elegant, and understated. Sadly undervalued as well but who cares.

I wanted to save it for one of my sons but this week-end he told me he wants the 5205G.
