Getting old with my taste? Incoming Patek!
Arrived for my birthday yesterday. Watch much older than me. There’s an interesting back story behind this Patek 2526 with the rare black dial. Connections made and authenticity verified...

Nice
But I wear mine I was initially quite concerned about the fragility of the dial but it is quite safe as long as you don’t overdo the activity when wearing it That one looks amazing Well done again J Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I love the Calatrava line but didn't want a production model since they are larger and to me there are lots of vintage pieces with character out there. |

Wow, that 2526 is amazing! Had the white dial for a short period of time, it’s an incredible watch

Looks amazing and it is a great reference.
Enjoy! Not old, mature taste I would say.

I love the finer Stippling in older movements. Takes time, yet worth it. Congrats on acquiring a great vintage piece!
