New Arrival and the first PP in our family. Certainly not the last one. 4936R. Early morning picture - I didnt have the time for the hands to align in a better angle.... Needless to say, my wife is very happy. Stefan...  

Congratulations to her.

...my daughter. The funds transfer process was clearly less painful with that future in mind. As you can see, the communcation capaign of PP works out... Stefan

The question is then .....

how many children/ sons/ daughters do you have ?

Two. A daughter of 3 and a small son of 10 months.

Congratulations!

Very happy to wear her fathers watch! I converted a 1950's Pink gold Longines in a ladies watch and it looks just great ! Best Stefan

Congrats to your wife and daughter Stefan

Need to make time for a photo session first. Stefan

Congrats to your wife & daughter

Here is the one of my wife. As we only have a son (13), we have to hope for a nice daughter in law to take it one day :-) Best regards Georg ...  

A nice AC..

Don't really see this reference often. Which makes me think there are probably very few female Patek owners. There is only 1 lady minute repeater watch vs probably 8 (or more) others for male. The mother of pearl dial makes it very endearing for the lady.... 

Thanks for the comment...

I will check it again. Actually the moon phase was set by the staff at the AD...need to check nevertheless . Stefan

the moonphase settings is...

 
 By: akitaishi : September 8th, 2013-22:24
something left to the owner to set; I feel. The AD would not be point precise with setting the moonphase because they would need a reference. That is if they are wearing a Patek themselves and can refer. Toy with it. It's a beautiful complication to have.... 

The WG version is very beautiful as well.

 
 By: nitediver : September 8th, 2013-12:32
Interesting.. Looking at a watch from the perspective of a family piece that you will hand down makes such a big difference. Cheers Stefan

A friend of mine wears one himself.

Despite being a male, it looks quite nice.

Wonderful, lucky she is

Nice that PP makes so beautiful timepieces. After all there is no reason than we can enjoy wearing these beauties and then feel disappointed to see quartz movement watches when looking at the wrist of our wife / daughters. You made a very good choice, con... 

Congratulations on the new arrival to the family...

two people are happy, now. She can enjoy it on her wrist and you too - even when it is different :-) Congrats and I hope it will show her good times, only. Oliver

new arrival

Hi Stefan, Congrats to your wife and congrats in advance for your daughter !!

This watch makes an excellent timepiece for your wife (lovely MOP dial, bling bling, and useful AC function) and a superb heirloom to your daughter (timeless design + all the good things mentioned). Have fun repeating the same for you and your son !! Chee... 

thanks for the nice comment, Gordon, for my son...

...i am contemplating a AP ROO Dual Time or a Nautilus 5712 in steel. I think steel is more wearable for a young man than a gold piece Any advise or views? regards Stefan

 By: GLau : October 3rd, 2014-02:18
... subject to your personal and family preference / requirements Firstly, since this male watch is "yours" until it becomes an heirloom to your son, you need to love it yourself. So does the Nautilus or AP ROO sing to your heart ?? Second, when it comes ...

hard choices...the problem really is that both the RO and the Nautilus speak to my heart. But you made a good point, another AC for my son (and for me fist of all) from Patek would be a nice idea. They make the AC as Ref. 5726, but I like the 5712 better.... 

Hi Stefan, you have some difficult choices to make but...

 
 By: GLau : October 6th, 2014-08:17
...the process is extremely enjoyable !! 5712 is a good choice but a different style than your wife's. For my hunt for an AC, it came down to 5205 and 5396. For me, 5205 is more stylish and more contemporary, whereas 5396 is a classic and has more Patek C...

thanks Gordon for the nice photo of your 5396. I must say that it is a very temptingĀ AC indeed....I was just yesterday looking at the PP catalogue and wondering, whether the 5205 will stand the test of time...while with the 5396, there is no doubt. The cl... 

thank geross, for commenting on my old post...
