One Watch Collection Dilemma – Patek Philippe – 5167A-001
Could you ever limit your collection to just one watch" Could this watch be a Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A-001"
Since more than one year now, I have been wearing and testing various watches – from Omega, Panerai, Hublot to Rolex and even Casio watches. I do appreciate different bits of each watch and I am pretty sure I could easily build a nice collection, based on 3 or 5 watches – that’s easy! How about building collection, based on just one wristwatch" Well, actually I wrote a post about choosing one watch and at that time I thought Rolex Submariner 116613LB and 16613 could be the ones to go for (check here). However, now, with all these watches worn on my wrist, I find myself more mature and I think that stainless-steel and gold is still too flashy for One Watch Collection. I stumbled across this stainless-steel stunner once or twice, or three times and every single time I had this one impression inside – wow! How did Patek Philippe manage to create a sporty watch of such delicate and subtle nature, perfect in almost every aspect. The ‘Wow’ impression starts from the very first winding, when you can hear this beautifully engineered winding mechanism, the sound is amazingly satisfying to ears.
I was astonished by how simple and minimalistic this watch was. Initially, I didn’t like the watch by the look on press photos, I was saying it’s ugly – that’s a good lesson for me not to base my opinio...
