Patek Philippe - The Complication Of Time
When it comes to grand complications, there are very few watch makers that can raise the bar quite like Patek Philippe. Yet, what really sets them apart is their ability to create pieces with timeless appeal that can actually be worn by their owners. For example, the new MECCANICO dG from those masters of time de GRISOGONO, is an incredibly complicated timepiece, but is it really practical? One would suggest not. Not to detract in any way from the MECCANICO dG, it has been designed for a specific purpose and is certainly a milestone achievement in watch-making, but it is not a watch that can be handed down through the generations.When you consider Patek Philippe's rich history of watch-making, it is not hard to understand how they manage to continually exceed the expectations of their clients.

A few months ago I was enjoying my friends watch collection, mostly Patek Philippe with a few Rolex thrown in for good measure. While admiring his Daytona-Cs (a white and black face) my eye caught his blue dial PP 5711/1A - what an amazing watch especially in real life.

Oh well, you never know, perhaps we'll be debating new POTUS candidates before we see any action on these. Then surprise, a call from the AD this weekend with option to take a 5711 that just came in. What a beauty. My first PP. What election?
