My first Patek Philippe

Having admired Patek Philippe watches for decades, I have finally been able to purchase my first timepiece from the brand- reference 5205G-13. Bought new in London, a few days before the price increase, I find myself gazing at the lovely, nuanced dial for far too long!



The addition of a matte black alligator deployment strap was the finishing touch I needed to tick my “must have” check boxes.

I have registered my interest in a few other pieces and am looking toward to the journey!

Have a great weekend.

Congratulations on the purchase. I, too, tried this one and was contemplating it. Beautiful piece that appears to fit you perfectly.

Beautiful watch, the dial on this really pops and the moon phase is something that I miss since selling my perpetual calendar.

Wear it in good health.

A wonderful reference....

Wear it in the best of health. You can never gaze at a thing of beauty too long. It is art work on the wrist....
