ART : PP 5101 10 days tourbillon (and the affordable 5124)

First I would like to thank Jacques Degreef otherwise I could not share those pics. It was the first time in my life I saw a Patek 10 days tourbillon. This was already a good feeling. I can't describe how it felt when I was allowed to 'play' with it between 10.00 and 11.30 this morning.
Those pics are the best I could do but believe me, this watch gives you shivers.
I could always sell my house and buy this watch but I have a strange feeling my girlfriend would not like the idea 
LOL
So I better stop dreaming. Such a piece will always be out of my league.
BUT, if you really like the looks and want something similar (without the 10 days power reserve and ofcourse without the tourbillon) you can always try the 5124.
At the fraction of the price you get a very good looking dress watch.

With this brilliant comparison between these 2 very nice watches! The 5124 is a brilliant watch, indeed. Simple and elegant. The 5101P too, of course, this rare bird is really something. In the middle of the road you have the 5100 Ten Days, without tourbi...

Hi, Thank you so much for sharing these pics! Those two watches are just gorgeous. Obviously if I could pick one I have no doubt about which one I would elect! Still the other one is nearly as beautiful IMO, and could well be a dream come true! I have hop...
