Very nice watches, but I try to avoid looking at Pateks because I'm afraid I will grow a love for one and could never justify spending the amount required to purchase a Patek. I'll stick with the working man's luxury watches.

Another quality Philipp thread!!! Great stuff here... These Christies auctions are strictly for those who have strong hearts I literally fainted when I saw this Patek in person at the Tiffany store in NYC! The level of design on many vintage horological references including Rolex are unparalleled

My goodness that catalog is full of gorgeous watches! Those Pateks are the perfect watches, IMO.
