In today's episode, Christian and his family present his Grandfather with a super important surprise - a vintage Patek Philippe Calatrava. A New York City cab driver for absolute decades, the man knows the city better than anyone. He's a guy who's incredibly simple in his tastes, and hardly a materialistic guy in the slightest. And he's turning 80.
To mark the occasion, Christian and his family are giving him a Patek Philippe Calatrava ref. 2428, dating back to the 1940s. As a brand, it's a true example of luxury and class, the kind of thing that he saw on the wrists of the millions of executives he's driven around the city for the majority of his life. As a nod to this, the caseback has been engraved with his cab medallion number.
