I'm sure most have seen it already, but if not, there is a great story on The Dalai Lama's Patek Philippe, over on Hodinkee right now..

I liked the article when I read it.
I disliked the hateful rants that permeated the earlier thread on this same subject.
I hope this time around that doesn't repeat.

Mark my words: If/when this watch ever goes for sale in an auction, it will be the most expensive watch ever sold, by a considerable margin.

And oh the irony, if the buyer would be Chinese :D

LOL, I don't think it would beat the Graves super complication, even if it was owned by the Dalai Lama, no way IMO, that it could beat the Graves price wise, could be wrong but don't think so
