So ... How old were you when you got your first Patek?

I have been saving for a Patek, I am 35, want a 5726/1A-001 - but looks like that watch is about 9 years away for me - with real life in the way, I cannot dedicate too much towards my watch fund right now - with a new house last year and new baby on the way, got to prioritize those over the Patek Fund

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!!

At 28, I got a 5164 Aquanaut traveltime.

Now, I’m 33 with 5 more Pateks and on a really long wait list for a Tiffany dial 5711.

I bought my first Patek at 39 years of age. It was a lovely Calatrava 5296G.

Get what you like age is simply a number! Congrats on your new baby! It’s an asset and can be sold if you ever have a rainy day!

We are fast starters here, but I'm sure the average age is well over 40.

I consider myself very fortunate and blessed to be able to do so at such an age.
