I know we all love our watches for the micro-mechanical marvels they are. But how awesome is it when you have a wonderful story to go along with it. Imagine how much more special this watch will be to the OPs children when he one day passes it down. Now that is what I love about watch collecting!!

Great story.
Now the watch means a little more because of how it was acquired. Enjoy! |

Utterly fantastic ruse by your wife. But how on earth was she able to hide such a large purchase? That is the story I want to hear.

Great read. Thank you for sharing with everyone.
I've noticed that the journey towards a Patek often has a great story - normally involving perseverance, will power/hard work, luck, and love.
