Purchased a Patek Philippe Calatrava Ref.5196 in yellow gold from Andrew at TrustyTime, and it is absolutely beautiful. See how it shines and glows in the pictures below... but they do not do it justice, as the effect of seeing it in person is much more amazing.
This is by far the best gold dress watch in my collection.
I've only worn this piece a handful of times since purchasing it last month, and each time has been a perfect and enjoyable experience.
As I do with all of my dress watches, I commission Ziczac leather to produce a crocodile watch strap for me with quick release bars. Found a matching Patek deployment clasp in yellow gold on AliExpress. This will be my ultimate business meeting/special occasion piece de resistance.
Overall again as with my past experience with Andrew at Trusty Time, he was prompt to answer all of my questions and concerns, and made the buying process a joy for me. Thank you Andrew

Until the next watch...![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
