I am looking forward to see what happened in those years and what the outcome is. That´s what we saw (or even got; at least a few very lucky ones ) back in 1989 : Only five models shown in the picture above, but in fact there have been eight watches for t...  

Hi Oliver, yes, I agree that...

...there will be several models for the 175th anniversary. Patek needs to produce anniversary watches at various levels so that different collectors can enjoy and remember the 175th Birthday. Cheers, Gordon

Great post!

Hi All, just read an article in WatchTime (August) quoting T. Stern in saying that...

Another great post, Oliver!

I have non of the watches you show (or any PP for that matter) but I have a booklet from Patek Philippe's 125th Anniversary that you might enjoy. :) Artisans of perfection! One detail that has changed is the Seal of Geneva... Best Blomman ...  

Blomman, that is just excellent ...

and no suprise that it comes from you. 125th that was too early for me, but let´s see what it means for fellow PuristS collecting pieces from 1964 ... :-) Thanks a lot, for sharing with us! Oliver

My pleasure, Oliver! :)

Yes, I love to find these documents... I think they put our watches in a context which makes it easier for us to understand them and why they where made in a certain way/design etc. Best Blomman
