First Patek
Picked this up this afternoon. LNIB condition. All original packaging materials. Papers, ect...... Shout out to George and Josh at Govberg for a really enjoyable and fair transaction involving a trade of two other watches.

They even threw in a matte black croc strap to dress it down a bit which will be here in a couple of weeks. Thought long and hard about WG vs RG.
The Rose Gold was beautiful but there is something so indescribably cool about the understatement of WG.

Went LNIB vs NIB as the purchase did not feel quite as extravagant .

I'm now a two watch man with this and the Rolex Sub-C. But frankly this may be it as I don't know if I need any other watch as these two cover all the bases.

More thoughts later.

Thanks Kevin. Josh described it as LNIB over the phone. When he handed it to me at the store I thought it was the NIB one they had got in for me to look at.

Thanks. No one does WG like Patek. It has a different hue depending on the light from cold white to light champagne.
