Would you buy a backup?

It is also different in the rest of Europe. In general I don’t think PP cares that clients buy multiple identical watches, as long as they don’t flip them. If you have the purchase history with various ADs, you can get the same watches from these ADs. Patek delegates that decision to the ADs. Even application pieces. CoO in my name, and from ADs in the same country. I was surprised too. After ordering a second identical application piece, I expected to get a call saying that I already had that watch, but instead I got the call I could pick it up...

nowadays given the value of any of these, pretty sure nearly anyone would take two of anything they could get their hands on haha.

Nope, wear and enjoy.

I like the idea of a backup bracelet. I hate scratched PCLs more than anything. Almost ruins the Daytona for me. Almost...

absolutly not
such a waste of capital to park a watch and not wearit. alternativly wear the watch everyday but just always think you are holding an egg in the hand with the watch. that will make you a little more careful
