When I discovered Taormina. I bought him the Breguet Type XX Salmon dial.
It was a funny deal. I knew him for a few days before, I didn't have the money on me, and nobody to do the wire for me, and he let me go with the Watch, trusting me.
We became friends.
We met, during the year 2004, 5 times. Once in Paris, the 4 other times In Taormina.
In Spetember, he called me to tell me that he had this 5110P in sotck, and that, if I was interested, it was for me.... Here is the way this story started.
Aaah, and to be complete, at that moment, in Paris, there were only Pateks I didn't like. Or which were not for me.
I tried once to have a deal with Patek in France, for the 5070P.... Needlless to say that it didn't work...
Best,
Nicolas
