 By: Fricks : December 21st, 2014-06:25
Just got this a couple of weeks ago. To start with, i am not a yellow metal guy, and if i had to pick, i'd choose Rg over Yg. It's just the natural choice of metal for the vintage feel of this watch. I was very surprised how the yellow gold suits it. I sa...  

As I said before, the most interesting and nice looking case and lugs from Patek (to me)

I tried to order one in WG the week it was announced (and write to M. Stern a nice letter from whom I sadly had no reply) but unfortunately couldn't manage to file for one. Great congratulations Fricks, it's a beautiful watch (my favorite with maybe the 5... 

thanks mark..

i haven't seen yet the platinum. But i like the idea of having the one that matches best the dna of the watch :)

There was a time ...

when I was interested in "black dials" only. Today I prefer the best version for each model. The former was more easy ... :-)

Same thing...!!

exactly what i am looking for now, the best version of a model. And as you said, it was easier, now we must first of all break preconceived ideas, and our own stereotypes... But so much more interesting

RG and brown straps are killer combo...this YG looks surprisingly good!

Sure, the P version maybe the most collectible one (only hundred), but I don't care. The most beautiful one is the J way by far, though I was not the yellow gold guy, too. Can't wait to get mine. Matches perfect the spirit and design of the watch. Huge Co... 

Thanks you...
