    This watch I inherited from my father , I used to sneak into my parents bedroom when I was 7 or 8 and wear my dad's Patek Philippes ! I've ALWAYS been OCD about watches! My father owned three this is one I got !

    I like the double bar markers, very sharp look. Fantastic piece.

    The movement in that watch is perhaps the nicest vintage tank caliber ever made, if it's the 9-90.

    As you may be aware, some of the vintage Pateks in SS are worth a fortune ::psy::

    My father owned three, probably received them for graduations. Platinum Top Hat, plain dial , ref
    2450, also a very nice 18k ref 2456 ( scalloped case ), and of course the stainless one in OP .
