My first Patek Philippe

I’m excited to share that I’ve just acquired my very first Patek Philippe, annual calendar 5396R.

I’ve documented the entire experience in a video. In it, I walk you through the process, including my travels, research, and the purchase itself. Check it out if you’re interested in seeing the full story behind this special moment

Thank you

Congratulations on your first piece, Sir. Very elegant and classy unit.

Nice vlog btw, reminds me a bit of earlier videos by LWC, SC and DE.

Congratulations! This was my first Patek as well. I got mine in May and wanted a quintessential PP for my first.
I absolutely love mine and hope you enjoy yours just as much. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for your comments. I chose the watch because it perfectly embodies all the timeless code of a classic Patek Philippe, discreet elegance, It's reflects the tradition of excellence and refinement.
