Well Paid?
Poor and content is rich, and rich enough,
But riches fineless is as poor as winter
To him that ever fears he shall be poor."
William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Iago, in Othello, act 3, sc. 3, l. 172-4. "Fineless" means unlimited.
Year end bonus
Bonuses were good for law firm on Wall Street this year. So, a little present to my self was a Patek Philippe Ref. 5016 P-012 similar to this one that sold at auction earlier this year. Hope you like it....
I am sorry but I cannot believe this post...
The 5016 has not been made for some time and I have searched and searched for one just to peek at with no avail. NY Law, are you serious? Please post some pics, because if you are serious - I am jealous. p
regretfully, i tend to agree
more so after checking the origination of the image posted. source code defines the image as:" ", originating from the antiquorum site, in reference to lot 311 sold at antiquorum auction in march 2002. 2002. not "earlier this year." apologies for the sleu...
whoops

i don't doubt it. people are funny, but that's what makes life interesting. i await with breathless anticipation some wrist shots of this fine timepiece.
I wouldn't exactly recommend literally holding one's breath in this case, Avery. >;^)
You might turn a bit blue.
come on, guys...why the overt and mean spirited cynicism?
If the post was "fake" it wasn't so bad as many others all of us have seen (like that infamous Blancpain 1735 owner who wore his "mowing his lawn, and if you work hard enough, you, too, can one day own a great watch like this...") On the other hand, if it...
Re: come on, guys...why the overt and mean spirited cynicism?
thomas-- mean-spiritedness was certainly not my intent, and apologies for corrupting the normally congenial tenor of this board. i was merely following up on a suspicion about which my intuition was tapping me very forcefully on the shoulder. while there ...
who's 5016
Thomas, Is that your 5016? I'm wondering ... do you ever wear it, or is it kept in a safe most of the time. I wear my 3970, but it's not yet worth $400k Eric von Schonberg
