Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon Ref. 5002 Watch Available On James List
The Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon Watch is one of the most famous names in the modern Patek Philippe watch catalog. The over $1 million watch is rare, beautiful, and exotic even by Patek Philippe standards. One of the watches just set a record fetching $1.2 million at auction, by far the highest any watch has gone for at auction in this economy.One of the things I love is the relief engraved sides of the watch that display stylized Patek Philippe Calatrava Crosses - very nice. So why does everyone want a piece of the Sky Moon Tourbillon? Well aside from it being a very complex Patek Philippe watch, it is also very pretty, and have two faces. One of the rare doubles sided watches that can actually pull the look off. The watch came available in gold or platinum, with a bit of a premium for an already premium watch for the latter. What is amazing to me is that the watch is still relatively new having been released in the last few years that you can get watch still in the retail sense

5726 - good idea?
Hello,I am thinking of purchasing the 5726 from my AD when available. It will become my joint daily wearer alongside my 5205R black dial.Any thoughts on this reference? Specifically if the bezel is a scratch magnet and if the finish holds up well to daily usage? I like my watches to stay looking fresh. I would mostly use it on the leather strap but also put it on the composite for holidays where we would be by the pool.Also any alternative suggestions in case there's a model I've missed? I want a little more sporty design, in white metal, on a strap and a case that isn't too thin (so no 5712). Given these factors the Nautilus and specifically the 5726 seems the obvious choice. I think the watch itself is a real beauty and I love the symmetry of the dial in addition to the slightly chunky Nautilus case - so much presence! The only negative really is that I already have the AC complication on my 5205.Any thoughts? Thanks.

5170 vs. Duometre a Chronographe
Yes, I know, I know, there is no comparison between the two in terms of finish and shine, plus the Patek will retain value better.Mechanically speaking, which of these two beautiful watches is going to be more accurate chronographically speaking? Does the dual-wing design add additional accuracy that you will not get in the clutch design of the Patek? I know that JLC pushes that idea, but do you all think this is true?Which one do you think is more of a collector's item mechanically speaking? Which is a more robust design?(I'll keep in mind that this is a Patek forum...)

Serial number questions
As a new owner of a Rolex, can anyone educate me on the serial number. I bought from an AD, and other than that number being sold (I assume this is why the AD swiped the warranty card), does Rolex know it was sold to me? If so, how? Does it just go to Rolex as being a AD sold piece? Also, is there some sort of meaning to the serial number like a manufacturing date.
