Patek Philippe GONDOLO 18K W/G, MANUAL WIND, GENTS WATC 5489G-001

Shhh wifey doesn't know it yet
Just picked up a large PO, black bezel..2 years old..for about 1/2 retail..gotta go.....more on it later....had to tell someone!!!

How much does your heaviest and lightest weigh?
My heaviest watch, my Planet Ocean 2200.50, with all the links in the bracelet like when it was originally purchased weighs 228 grams. With the bracelet adjusted to fit my wrist it weighs 206 grams.; still heavier than most watches. Now, my Swatch skeleton automatic weighs 28 grams. It is my lightest and feels like nothing is on my wrist when I wear it. The weight of my PO, although heavy by most standards, doesn't bother me. In fact when I change from a lighter watch to it, I notice the difference for only a minute but then am comfortable right after that.So what is your heaviest and lightest watch?-JB

Best Patek in Category Thread
I was just thinking it might be nice to have a thread or threads were we present and discuss the various categories of Pateks and nominate various watches we believe are best in that category.Granted this would all be opinion and there would be no real winners or losers, but it sure would be a great way to discuss the merits of various Pateks.For example we could start with various Calatrava's to begin with and then go on to Aquanauts, Nautilus, Complications, and so on. I think it would be best to reserve Grande Complications for our last discussion.We may even want to open a seperate thread for each category this way it would help to keep the discusssion's and pictures seperate, but we would only initially open one and allow some time for good discussion before opening another thread.So what do you think?

If only it was offered in SS
At first glance, it looks like a Coke bezel. I like it and prefer it over the new Pepsi. Oh well....not a fan of TT or RG.

Incoming. YM Dark Rhodium.
Couldn¡¯t get my mind off this thing for a long time after I got my Z Blue last May. Had some recent good fortune come my way and I thought it was time. After numerous stops at the local AD with no supply in/or on the horizon for the last few months, I was told they had a few YM coming in. They weren¡¯t sure which ones but a few were coming. I requested that if a Rhodium dial shows up it was mine. I got the text last Wednesday. I was there 15 minutes later with a hold on it until Saturday. Couldn¡¯t be happier with the local AD. He put a great deal on the table that was better than any across Canada that I had found. No one was even giving a discount. Not even my friend who has been doing this for 20 years could get on on this watch. He could all day long if he or I was wanting a DJ. I went in on Saturday and picked it up. Never even hit the showcase. No ones hands but mine were on it. Took a few pics at work at my desk and then when I got home. Looks like 2 different watchesSent from my
