I was 32 and received a Calatrava from my fiancee. That was 30 years ago...

Still have the watch and the wife.

Minute repeater. I was 7. Maintenance costs were to high for my young age so I had to quickly learn doing it myself.

Just wondering when people get their Patek's - how old were you and what watch was it??

Need some motivation that it will be worth it!!

You ever get the pp??

Impulse purchase on 47th St. So not old enough to think twice. No regrets though.

In 2024 when I was 43, 5167r was my first. Then I swapped it for 5164a so I could daily it. Then this year 2025 I added a 5712 just before it discon. I’m thinking to buy back my 5167r though to add some metal and colour to my collection. Went all grey by the way.

Started my Patek journey rather late compared to many here coz I was playing with Panerai then AP then Rolex.

What a memorable watch journey the last 20 years.. basically swapped dozens of watches. Now only kept current 5164a and 5712.

That’s my story. Hope everyone enjoy their watches in good health.
