I was never much of a Patek fan TBH. Outside of their vintage Calatravas of course. They're sublime IMH. Technically they're fantastic bits of kit, but otherwise I usually find them too Monaco. Great in theory, but more than a little Eurotrashy in practice.

Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

Looked like a fairly big dial and wasnt aware they made them that big
