I forgot to add - Congratulations to the owner on such an individual and bespoke purchase! Beautiful.

I also understand the reluctance to remove from the seal, the case is just insanely detailed and it's going to take some guts to wear this piece - scratches, dings and dents will NOT be easy to refurbish away BUT, as my friend says, "who want's to tell people about the Patek they've got in the safe  when they can just wear it instead- that's just plain sad!"  
I've got to agree but finding the right venue for this piece could be a little tricky! Good luck and enjoy!

I always put 5016P at my hand when I am home. I like to look at it. Sometimes, I wear it to visit AD and have a watch party.

If you can overlook the price premium for the engraved 5160 over the 5159, the case (and buckle!) decoration on the 5160 is absolutely exquisite! But I feel regularly wearing this piece of "wrist art" will diminish its appeal by dulling the crisp detail o...

Pardon me, but I am a bit confused. You previously posted pictures of a 5970J. So how is this your first yellow gold Patek? http://patek.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-11/pi-5188678/ti-776678/s--39/

I forget I had a 5970J before. I must be too old. Maybe I should call it the first favorite yellow gold Patek watch.
