Mar 18 Sat - Patek day

If we look at the official photos of all the Patek watches, every watch is set at Saturday, March 18, when applicable. I just realised, March 18 really does land on a Saturday this year, and it hasn't happened in 6 years! haha, it'll be the first time 5726 my annual calendar will match the official photo since its 2019 release. Definitely going to take some wrist shots this weekend.

omg haha! it's like they had thought for years in advance of a specific date before making these official press photos. Unlike some other watch company that couldn't get the correct strap for their press photos

My thinking as well. Who notices this stuff!

I spend plenty of time on Patek’s website and never noticed.

Good observation OP!

The fact that we are on a forum space talking about watches, highlights we all have too much time.
