Ever seen a chimpanzee compose a song or write a novel?

Even if I received that as a gift...I will have no idea how to use it

There's a small print on the side... I think it says "don't try this at home"

It is a wonderful set of Patek watch tools but just to re-iterate my post #114 (I know it was a long time back) this was NOT a gift. I'm lucky but not that lucky. It maybe some serious Patek Collectors get these but certainly not me.
A friend put me onto it and I purchased it from the owner - I can't/won't use it in anger but I do like tools and this is a lovely set of watch tools.

Insane. Thanks for finally revealing it! Unsure I would ever have the gall to use any of the tools beyond the one to remove the strap.

Wow some amazing gifts there. I know few people who spent so much money with PP and end up with bits that I have been given as well without even spending a penny at the Geneva salon... That tool set is awesome Russell...

This tools kit can be ordered to official Patek dealers ??? Or not ?
Thanks for clarification

No idea i’m afraid - this kit came from someone who had been through the PP watchmakers internship.

How much are you all spending with AD's to get this type of stuff? Or do all AD's give out small items with a Patek purchase???

I asked the rep when I was in Geneva and was told it's not done much in the USA. I wanted a PP baseball cap!

Gifting just isn’t in our culture as much. I try to gift things to my clients at work and often it goes unappreciated, or its not approved by the company. Even little things gifted on big closings.
