Talking Watches: With Alfredo Paramico
There is a small handful of vintage watch collectors in this world that can truly be called "market-makers." John Goldberger is one of them. Another is the 45-year-old, tan-skinned, silver-haired gentleman you are about to meet. Alfredo Paramico is a true insider, and has long been considered one of the top watch buyers on the planet. Remember that unique platinum Patek Philippe Bulletin Chronometer that sold for $3,992,858 in November of 2012? You know, the watch that actually beat the Eric Clapton owned platinum 2499 in the same sale? Yes, Alfredo bought that. Remember that one of a kind Patek Nautilus 3700 in platinum that sold for over $800,000? That was his. How about an original Patek Philippe 1518 in steel (only four made), considered one of the most legendary and valuable timepieces on earth (even former Christie's head Aurel Bacs said that is the last great watch he would love to sell) – yes, Paramico has owned one. He paid 2.2 million euro for it. 1

Wearing this Cushion today
I have too many watches! Including, at last count, about 30 (vintage) Hamiltons. I haven't worn this gorgeous solid green gold cal. 986A Cushion form opening nearly often enough, so I pulled it out for today (I don't have a consistent rotation schedule).

What inventions are attributed to Patek Philippe?
Hello everyone, I am opening this thread because I must say that I know very little about Patek Philippe except that it's one of the horological manufactures with the most history and inventions.But it's hard to see the reality, for example one website said that the 1st automatic wristwatch came out in the 1940's, when it's verified that it came out in 1924 in 3 manufactures, Blancpain and 2 others which I don't remember, using the Harwood registered trademark.So I would like to know what important innovations were brought into the watch industry.To be honest I don't really understand the huge prices of Pateks, apart from some pieces in the Patek haute horlogerie section, which are beautiful and great technical achievements, I can't say that I find Patek watches very beautiful, for example their Nautilus models are far from finding grace in my eyes, compared to Blancpain fifty fathoms, Rolex submariners and sea dwellers, to name the most famous diving watches, they are much less appeal
