A ladies' Seamaster Aqua Terral, which I spotted in Copenhagen. In this model, the symmetrical 38 mm case and integrated bracelet are crafted from stainless steel. The waved opaline silvery dial features a date window at 6 o’clock, while 18K Sedna™ gold is used for the hands as well as the indexes, which are shaped like sailboat hulls. Description from OMEGA website.

Have a great weekend 😎

$Reposting one of the best picture I took of the 2️⃣4️⃣8️⃣8️⃣🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩! It looks so glorious 🤤! I could eat that sparkling case 🥰🍽️! Its shiny case is the reason why I nickname it «the Ingot » 🥰🥰🥰🥰! It reminds me a bit of a vintage Vacheron Cioccolatone, at a fraction of its price and bearing the name of Patek, hence the most prestigious one ✨! The 2️⃣4️⃣8️⃣8️⃣ was I think quite a popular reference back in the 1950’s ! It is rather easy to source, especially in yellow gold, except that, just like for every vintage, condition is essential. The Patek Salons were showing an extract of an old advertisement for it in a book exposed in their showcase last winter (swipe to see it, I felt pretty honoured for their move☺️)… It is powered by a 10-200, a round caliber inside a square case, I admit, but displaying first class finishings which unfortunately no longer exist on Patek’s time-only. Swan neck regulator, black polish, many bevelings, Côtes de Genève and that super large balance wheel 🥰🤤! A true fiest for the eyes, swipe left to see a picture of it 🤩! And my 2️⃣4️⃣8️⃣8️⃣ reminds me so much… My first Patek, as a reward from my father for my successful baccalauréat while I was sick in 2012, sourced in Brussels and restored by Patek… And I lived so many things with it… The Fêtes de la Violette in Sologne, in the park of this lovely castle which was the Domaine de la Sauldre, my cross of the desert where I didn’t know what to do while I was in recovery, my first walks in Auteuil with a growing obsession for the Villa Montmorency and its mysteries, my Pink Floyd obsession… It accompanied me in so many things and is still there 🥲🥰. But while it is still keeping extremely good time a bit more than a decade after the last service, I should start to think to send it back to Patek to change the lubricants and I am carefully staring at its accuracy. It doesn’t run a lot and never in summer, so I think the balance wheel pivots are still in good shape (they are the most expensive parts to change, especially on a vintage like this)… But I think it will soon be time… #vintagepatek #makedresswatchesgreatagain #exoticwatches #rarewatchesonly #watchcollection⌚️$
