Patek, AP or VC?: Unboxing My First Holy Trinity Luxury Watch & My 2018 Collecting Goals
Published on Jan 04, 2018In today’s video I share an unboxing and finally reveal which watch from the “Holy Trinity” (Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin & Patek Philippe) I have purchased.
After 3 months of keeping it completely shtum as I saved up, I finally get to share the latest addition to my collection. I also discuss the process of elimination as I searched for the right piece, a sweet spot in the holy trinity market and my collecting goals for 2018. I end the video by asking my audience what short, medium, and long term goals they themselves have set.

Congratulations on your acquisition. It is quite an elegant piece. I hate to say it but I have heard quite a lot of the protestations of the moon phase to be so useless. I have the inner smile when people say this but, I find myself quite compelled to protest the declaration on this occasion. My very oldest piece is a chronograph with a moon phase complication, and I am quite satisfied with its utility. Humanity has had the moon as part and parcel of the environment in which we live. This brings to mind as well that the moon complication should be a part of military watches as well yet never has the inclusion, in the face of numerous engagements that literally relied upon the “dark of the moon” as an important aspect of operations. At the least it has been a consideration operationally. As for me, I find my own use of the lunar complication, and would never ever have a collection without at least one representative. Perhaps if you applied your own thoughts to the subject you might divine my use or even find one of your own. Rest assured it does have its use and place in the human environment, even if, much like the chronograph, it seldom sees its use.
