Of course (as ever) thanks to DSW

The watch is incredible on the wrist -

We don't have Patek here in Perth so it took a trip over east to Melbourne for me to realize just how intricate the detail is.

There is something very, very special about this piece - Of course, as my first ever Patek it holds a bigger place in my heart already.

Simply thrilled -

Some quick pics

It does take time for one/some to realise the greatness in the 5167

Thanks all

The combination of weight and tropical strap make this such a comfortable watch ....I love catching the detail of the dial in different light. Stunning.

Yes Steve ... You were my inspiration.

Wow! I am a whole week late!!! I see! I will tell you as one wise fellow watch collector has told me... You have finally popped your Patek cherry! Welcome to the club boss! That Aquanaut looks custom made for you! Wear it in good health!
