Now you have a truely special one of a kind double-signed certificate for both your 5088G and 5131P.  This will no doubt add tremendous sentimental value tand make your rare pieces even rarer and more unique.

my certificates for 5131G and 5131P made by her and her team and wrote her name. Naturally I also needed Anita to write her name for the Rousseau Enamel Lion certificate she signed previously in 2019 at the Singapore Grand Exhibition. Now yours truly ...  

It's great you were able to do this.

Personally I would find this meaningfull. And since you never really own a Patek, hopefully a future caretaker would be thrilled to find her name.

Thanks for the reminder ! Now I better explain to

Anita Porchet is a legend and having her autograph on her work is quite something. Double signed watches merely clutter up a dial in my opinion!

Dear Gordon, it’s a wise idea to ask Ms Anita Porchet to sign on the certificates!

You must be thrilled to meet your idol in person 😊

Yes Henry, I was so happy to see Anita Porchet

It is always great to have Anita to double sign on all your watches with her works. Double happiness on the watches you wear and the contact you make with her.
