The most hackneyed term used by any watch journalist, dealer, or auction house expert is "important." To us, everything is important. Whether it be because of the technical firsts it represents, or the general rarity, or who owned it, you could make the case that just about any watch is "important." But some watches are more important than others, and Eric Clapton's Patek Philippe 2499 in platinum is undoubtedly incredibly important. More so than just about any other watch made in the last 25 years, and in this in-depth post, we'll tell you why, and include tons of live photos that we captured when Mr. Clapton's watch paid a visit to NY this weekend.http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/eric-claptons-patek-philippe-2499

These are random photos and videos that are collated for prosperity sake. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!.........
