My first was a 5107R, way back in 2001. Absolutely gorgeous watch in every respect. In a major act of stupidity, I sold it off about 5 years later to chase after some other watch....dumbdumbdumbdumbdumb (ad infinitum). Learned that lesson the hard way, but alas...there ain't no LIFE REWIND BUTTON.


Still miss it, and my God how prices went up in that time!

Sorry to hear, definitely a nice watch.

Thanks for sharing Adam.

I can not believe I missed this thread. Beautiful watches everyone!

I suppose I have joined the first PP club with this old thing. I have been wearing a lot lately since I picked it up from my safe in Sydney.

John,
Have you ever considered putting that watch on a leather strap?

Very nice John.

It wouldn't be a Patek first watch thread without your contribution.

Thanks for sharing.
