Finishing the year w/ a new Patek.....

I have admired the 5098 since it's release in 2009, and the opportunity to buy one surfaced last week, so an early Christmas present for me...

Beautiful Gondolo Don!!! I've eyed the Platty version many times, but it's a lil out of my range.

Thanks Mike, a friend of mine has the Plat. version, but I like the Rose Gold. Plat. seems so cold, while the RG seems warmer.

"Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark!"

Absolutely stunning! I recently purchased a Calatrava.....but after seeing these pics, I'm beginning to question my decision. Wear it in good health!
