I think I've chosen my next watch...
...(aside from a possible/likely SS Rolex Datejust): The Patek Calatrava 3998. Most likely yellow gold. It's exactly what I want -- a nice simple dress watch, with class beyond reproach. It's also a watch I'd wear almost anytime.
I think it'll be next spring before I get it, as I'm currently facing property taxes, vacation expenses, holiday expenses, and miscellaneous unforeseen expenses. ;-) Anticipation is the best part, though. Last edited by Manatee; 18 October 2005 at 11:59 AM.. |

Hi Peter,
Saw a Calatrava at the only dealer in NZ, Partridge Jewellers on Queen St. just opposite Mansor's. It was in YG on a black croc strap with a transparent case back. List price was a whopping NZ$23,000 (around US$16,000). Does this price sound about right? It looked very beautiful and the finish was literally flawless. JJ

Nice choice, Peter.
I like some PP's a lot, but others do nothing for me. If anything, I am attracted to the simple pieces. I really like the 3919 myself - love the hobnail bezel........ There is a advert in WatchTime that is for some place that refurbishes vintage watches. It shows a before and after pic of a vintage PP that I just love! I have not been able to find a picture of it anywhere on the net that is exactly the same as that one, and I don't know the reference # - kind of driving me nuts looking for it........
