Here is a watch in yellow gold that you might like, although it isn't Patek Philippe.

It isn't a Patek but it does have everything I'd love to have on a watch, thank you for sharing that beauty! Vacheron Constantin does make amazing pieces!

Thanks buddy!! It is 30 minute ring on outside and red is 60 minute ring. So it could be on 5 minute or 35 minutes for example.

I don't know much about the ingenieur, but I thought it might be a Limited Edition or something of that nature.

So is there any chance you'll be able to get one?

it is something i am seriously considering going mull it over for the next week or two as i have 5 watches at the moment and feel guilty when i get more, so trying to stick to 5 at most ,add to that that this is is five figures.. then it becomes a decision on which one i might let go .. which is none of them at the moment or is it justifiable to just add it The torment we put ourselves through

I have the black ingenieur chrono at the moment and it is wonderful

Good luck with your decision Christopher, either way I'm sure you'll do what's right for you.

A piece of history in two ways, the longest produced watch and the first Navi with an inhouse MVT, an absolute beauty and I should add possibly the most perfect iteration of a watch that has always been my childhood dream.

An the best part: that one is mine and it represents the special occasion I bought it for like nothing else could have :)
