Patek Philippe comes to Melbourne
Oct 31, 2014,01:22 AM
Patek Philippe in conjunction with LK Boutique have shown the offerings from Basle 2014 in Melbourne this year
Very astute marketing on behalf of both companies has allowed Melbourne to see the new watches in official Patek show cases.They have installed a very high quality in house boutique at the Crown casino during the Melbourne Racing Carnival. We have the famous ( at least in our eyes) Melbourne Cup being run on Tuesday and the Casino is full and buzzing with tourists.
A number of watch enthusiasts were kindly invited to view the offerings. We assume Andrew D was off fighting Ebola somewhere as that was about the only thing that would have kept anyone from attending
I will let the pictures speak for themselves. But the event and the dinner were high class as expected from Patek.
Followed by a Vanessa Mae look alike ( possibly even better) electric violinist

I think this looks quite good - despite the pregnant bump
Great piece of engineering
The 5170G harks back to the 50's - classic. Very underrated

Barramundi. Both very good
Desert was sublime . A bombe of chocolate and fruit
Thank you to Patek Philippe and Mr Kennedy from LK Boutique who arranged this great function
The music, atmosphere and food was excellent , not to forget all the watches which were kindly brought from Geneva.
