    Congrats. Beautiful watch, and some all important glamour shots of the back. Great job.

    That is unusual! Lovely piece and I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. A level up from my 5146J indeed. Superlative in the best sense. Have you more pictures - maybe of the movement? Did your wife buy the one she liked?

    Super version.

    That is a splendid piece. Perfect case colour (I love rose gold), superb dial - and that movement! Wonderful.

    And different!

    Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Much appreciated.

    I don't have anymore decent pictures sadly. I will get the better quality camera we have out on a sunny day and try my best to take a few more. In the meantime, I found this article had some of the most wonderful pictures of the watch when I was doing my research:

    https://monochrome-watches.com/patek...-review-price/

    And yes, the Mrs had the pick of a few Patek 24 and picked out the blue dial. For what it's worth, it would have been my choice too. The 36mm circular dials were just too big for her wrist.

    I think the 'different' bit is what did it for me. I thought about many of the other annual calenders and, at one point even an annual calender/chrono (but that got discontinued earlier this year). I did have a shortlist with a couple of other options but I am really pleased that this one came in. I found out that Boodles get one a year so it is not a common watch even for them.

    Beautiful watches. The display back is pure art and your wife's watch is a stunner.

    I'm not surprised you're pleased. The tri-point positioning of the date complications is an absolute treat. So nice to see something different from the norm.

    Reading the time must take some getting used to, but even more reason to stare at it.

    Absolute stunner.

    What’s the little tab for on the caseback?
