Getting to know our collectors part 9 : John from Indiana

John and I found each other on instagram. John loves the Nautilus as much as I do but in time I discovered his passion for watches spans all brands and styles. He can be found wearing a vintage Rolex sub , a Patek 5205 a Nomos or a victorinox! Great taste and good manners are natural for him and we can text each other about watches literally all day long.

John it’s a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to the next watch.

Patek Philippe design language – the 5085

the 5085 gives me a vintage sports car vibe LOVE

Patek Philippe and elegance… a match made in heaven..

the 5085 exudes a very elegant and sporty feel at the same time.

Same as Ralph Lauren’s vintage Bugatti.

The 5085 is gorgeous Patek, discontinued and a rare stainless steel production.

it is so versatile to wear you literally can wear it with a leather jacket while riding your bike or you can rock it with a tuxedo.

I am proud to have it in my collection and I will have mixed feelings when I will sell it.

wouldn’t the 5085 look perfect with Ralph Lauren’s ensemble?
