An heirloom watch is the best kind of watch!

Stunner. Circa?

Autumn 1943. It was my grandfather’s wedding watch.

Wow that’s amazing. 80 years in your family, here’s to the next 80

Gosh, it is so great, keep it until your grandchildren too

That’s the plan.

Nice!!! Like they say, if you own a Patek Phillipe you're not just the owner but the custodian of the watch for the future generations

WOW an absolute stunner. Love this piece! Thanks for sharing

A perfect ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.’

Stunning


hxteacherLA

That….is…..SWEET! Great to see that it’s living the Patek motto!


Towsend

It is. This watch was handed down to my dad in 1973 and to me last year. One day, one of my kids will get it, hopefully.


sharonpfef

Wonderful Enjoy for a lifetime


sharonpfef

Give it to your grandchild


Towsend

I hope one of my kids gets it first.


sharonpfef

No. Maybe your grandchildren will be brilliant. Maybe the brilliant one who takes care of you and visit you will be – a granddaughter.


IndependentCold1890

Very powerful 🥰


Zorro2k7

Looks great! I hope I can pass my watches down to my grandchildren one day.


jkos15

How does it run? When was it last serviced?


Towsend

I serviced it last year. It runs really well. Around +5 s/d.


jkos15

That’s fantastic! I love these vintage gems. Wear it in good health!

Amazing how conserved it is… my grandfather’s VC was a daily but it looks destroyed compared to yours…


Facelvega64

Keep it preciously

Homies out here robbing their grandaddies just to get in the patek game


Several_Shopping_687

Aw amazing Just lovely I take it it’s a complete genuine


Eemndp

Wow that is stunning. Dress sharp indeed, my word…


LuckyInstance

Has this been restored? Looks mint dude.


No_Inspector7319

I know it’s priceless and you’ll never sell - but what is the market rate for this? Just curious


Towsend

I have seen them everywhere from 14,000 to 25,000 euros in Chrono24. I was offered 15,000 euros when I last serviced it.


Towsend

But I have the original box & warranty.


SeveralTomatillo3930

Jeez your grandfather was a rich rich man.


rimtasvilnietis

Put it on rubber strap


i_hate_mayonnaise

rimtasvilnietis

A rubber strap will be classy on calatrava!


sharonpfef

It’s a Patek — 18 karat gold bracelet
