Today I unbox my latest acquisition, after almost half a year of watch hunting. But there's a plot twist! While researching this timepiece, I discovered something quite astounding. Aside from being, in my opinion, Gerald Genta's greatest work, inside this watch is the key to what made Patek the powerhouse brand it is today. So much so that its influence can be found in the Patek Calatrava, the Nautilus, and even super high-end, complication-heavy timepieces like Perpetual Calendars, Grand Complications, and Worldtimers. But the best thing is, you can own this missing link of horological evolution for less than $1000 on the used market. And it also happens to be one of the most elegant and comfortable watches I've ever experienced. Join me for another uniquely Urban Gentry episode for a special watch unboxing that is unexpected, underrated, and above all, only for the true watch enthusiast. What do you think about the watch featured in this video? And what's your favorite automatic under $1000? Please share in the comments!
