Yes please. I do wish to look after it for the next generation :)

quality... its an important word. people come to expect it of the expensive toys they pay for. from your exotic car to your pricey watches, one hopes that the big bucks put down for em mean that they are made to certain standards and are of a certain... quality...

Patek Phillippe is a manufacture that knows what quality is about. some of their classic pieces down the years are made to very fine standards and have an excellent level of finishing. the one thing i wanted to point out though in this post is what struck me when i held the 5276... a new nautilus with the annual calendar complication released this year... it was the visible quality of the dial...

now it shouldn't come as a surprise that the dials of Pateks are made to such standards as the Stern family that owns them now were once Patek's dial suppliers. they would then logically continue in their strengths on dial work. sometimes your mind doesn't think of these facts and its when you hold up a watch, the quality of how its made, how the light reflects off the surface of the dial and its appliqued indices... it makes u believe that all the money put down for it is all worth it and invariably puts a smile on your face :)

just a lovely piece...

the backs no slouch either... though it has the lamentable PP seal... as with all new watches since that replaced the geneva seal...
