OY that watch has been gone for a while now. Several computers ago. If you google patek ref 1579 rose gold you will get a picture quicker than I can go back and find it. I bought this watch off of a guys arm at Whittier Drug at Comstock and Hadley. It had a $3 Stainless steel Spidel twistoflex band on it. It was worth 10K when I bought it for a thousand. (He came up with the price) I kept the watch for at least 15 years. In that time I wore the watch twice. (I have over 350 notable timepieces, I have been collecting watches since I was 10) When I bought the watch I showed to a serious Patek collector in LA Named Alex. He hounded me for the watch for that entire 15 years. I had a very bad experience selling a watch when I was 18 years old also a Patek ( Split second one button chrono Bought $6,800 sold at 12,600 Today 1.6 Million$$$$) so I really don't sell my collection pieces. Although Patek is hands down the finest watch in the world (I own 4 of them) I really like old Rolexes and Alex had a Steve McQueen that I wanted almost as bad as he wanted this watch. It was New Old stock with Box and Papers was Never worn! He offered me 57K Cash and the watch. I took it. THe Steve McQueen is now worth at least 45K and the Patek of course trades in the high 80's now conservatively.

Hope I haven't bored you and everyone else out of their skulls but that is the story.

No you haven't. I still hunt everywhere can for time pieces I go on the road. I sold off the best of what I had starting with ebay in the 90's. I've even found vintage 1970's vintage LCD's I pick up can at times sell in the $300 range.

Sorry for the wrong spelling... ;-) So friends of mine send me that picture, they´re in cambodia now, and they send that as a riddle, and the prize would be a little surprise from their holiday :-) As I had no idea, and visited this website, then found the topic "What is it?", i thought anybody could help me with it. And Charly P. did. Thank you all, and greetings from Germany,

You definitely came to the right place. Charlie P.nailed it. And thank you Brigitte for answering all of my questions regarding the reasons for your post.

Guess!?! Harumph. I put question marks at the end of my guesses or say "maybe" or "possibly". ;-)

You're right it wasn't a "guess". It was a dead on ID. Nice work!

I also pick and sell anything I can get my hands on that I do not collect. Definitely a Treasure hunter from birth

I figured it was plant from the pattern - not spiral but opposing layers. Palms and ferns grow in opposing & overlapping compound "leaves" and ferns no longer get anywhere near that size - so I started Googling "Palm Cross Section" and switched to "Images". Came right up.
