Patek 5204P - in the flesh
Bam!
Just one of the many pieces on sale at the IWJG show in Brooklyn today. Will probably drop by again tomorrow. Review from Hodinkee here back when it was released in Basel last year: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/patek-p...here-live-pics |

Patrizzi in da haus!
Bumped into Osvaldo Patrizzi at the IWJG show. We're all probably familiar with how he founded Antiquorum and helped build the Patek museum in Geneva; how he was ousted in 2007 and how he's still kind of mired in tussles with Antiquorum right now.
Controversies and intrigues aside, he was nothing but a gracious gentleman in my company, very knowledgeable and gave off no airs whatsoever. He had known my dealer for over 30 years and we exchanged pleasanties, but since I had browsed through much of his three volume work about collecting PPs: Collecting Nautilus and Modern Patek Philippe Wristwatches (3 Volume Set) ... I couldn't help but snap a pic beside him. Heh heh. OK, I may look a bit serious in the picture here but really, I was having a blast! |

Did you hear that guys? It sure sounds like a split-second chronograph on Kermit's wrist...

I'd ask FremStar...
... after all, as you can see in this pic, he actually got to wear that 5204P.

And so FremStar and I did see each other at IWJG
Had lunch at Shake Shack, and took a pic with a good book (and some decent watches).
Many thanks as always for spending time with me, my friend! |

Now I am even more confused!
Has this 5204 found a new owner, who is known to us all?? Someone please spill the beans :)

Aw, Tony...

However, while we were speaking with said dealer he did mention that "a deal was imminent." I do not know if he ended up selling it to a fellow TRFer, but there were certainly a few present at the show! |

I do like the 5204 but for me it's the 5004 I love (in any metal)...
