New incoming: the 222…



I just received this beauty today from the boutique after a long wait… as a Patek collector, this is my second VC and my first ever full gold watch… The design, details and bracelet all look very, very balanced…

My initial reaction… I loved it and it will compete with my 5270P salmon on the nicest watch in my collection..

Will i wear it daily… not sure since no matter what I say, it will attract attention… but for special occasions, it is a piece of art an history for sure…

That’s a really special watch. I doubt I’ll ever see one in the wild, so I appreciate you posting pics.


Congrats. I hope you wear it often.

Real congrats. I find this a very special watch, much rarer to see than others of the high end (iconic) luxury sport segment.

Congratulations on the pick up.

On wrist, the bracelet feels like a second skin. Wears so well.

Yeah, it is really nice. Super clean lines and 70s vibe. I love it. Nice compact size for smaller / medium sized wrists too.

Congratulations. Didn't want to buy compulsively when it first launched. Been on a sideline and still am...
