At what age did you purchase your first Patek?

Just turned 30 and didn’t reach my goal of acquiring one in my 20s (mostly due to supply / availability). Wondering how young others were when you got your first!

Who cares? It’s just an expensive watch.

I’m in my early 20s and I got some interesting responses regarding getting a Patek fresh out of college. I currently am saving up for one but don’t see it happening for another year and a half. At least that is my goal now.

Although that really is no milestone.
You can have whatever material possession you like in today’s world if you’re prepared to have a sad one dimensional life to get it.

Still working on it! As soon as I can find a 5167a. But seriously, I wanted a Daytona in my 20's and worked towards getting both black and white. If I had to do it all over again, I will still get my Daytona's first, but I'm obsessed with Daytonas.
