Just wanted to say Hello. This is my one and only Patek. An under followed/under loved reference, it seems. I quite like it!

Cheers
Drew

Agreed it’s not the most popular TODAY. But I wouldn’t bet against it long term.

Beautiful, and it's exactly this reference or the 5167 I'm looking at.

My first choice has been the Gondolo 5135, every time I see it, I'm confident that will be the next one, have it sourced and everything.

Great choice and welcome to the forum.

Welcome,

It’s not the “Hot” watch on Instagram, but it’s a seriously cool watch, I’d love one in my collection, aside from the Regulator, that would be my personal AC Patek choice.

Yep , my wife loves the 5135 R that I wear on occasion- it is one of her favorites. She calls it our “wedding watch” because it was the one I wore when we were married. :-)

I would say ~50mm lug to lug, give or take. It's a pretty big watch. My wrist is a bit larger than 7" and I think fits me perfectly. But if it were any bigger, it would probably be too big, IMO.

a couple other shots, where the yellow gold shines a bit more than my initial pic. BTW... I really like the rose gold version as well.


Cheers

People don't understand it, but is a pretty rare watch. You won't bump into another one in the wild. Rolex daytona on the other hand I see multiples in a week.
