The Patek Philippe 2497: On Leap Day 2012, We Show You A Perpetual Calendar You Need To Know
You won't find the owner of a perpetual calendar any happier than you will today, February 29th.? You see, one of the coolest things about a true perpetual calendar is that it automatically knows and adjusts for leap years.? Thing is, they don't come around too often, so every February 29th, people that are lucky enough to own a perpetual calendar go a little nutty and start showing complete strangers their watches on the streets.So, on this leap day, we thought we'd show you a famous perpetual calendar that you should know about.? It is, of course, from Patek Philippe, and its reference is the 2497.? It is a traditional manually wound perpetual calendar and it was launched in 1951.? The 2497 was introduced alongside the 2438-1, which was the same watch with a waterproof case and though it was produced for over ten years, only 179 examples were made in total, of both references.?The 2497 is traditionally divided into two series, differentiated by their dials.?

Speedmaster Purchase.
Back in 03-04 i was battling Cancer and my Uncle came acrross the country to stay with me and to give me support in my Battle. When he left to go home i noticed he had no watch so i quickly went over to my watch box and pulled out a Speed master professional moon watch and gave it to him.It was the first real good watch if you know what i mean i purchased when my business started to take off in 1994 it cost a few grand at that time I have many watches Rolex IWC, Omega, and so on but i never had the feeling to buy another speedmaster until now. Last week i was able to purchase a very nice Speedmaster Reduced automatic for $950 (good price i think ) and now i have the Speedy bug again. So my question is.... if you had say like $5,000 to spend what speedmaster would you buy, i love vintage and not opposed to new but i like to be different and odd variations that gain Value over the years is always a plus to me. Please send me links if you like as i am ready to buy now and thanks in advanc
