Get Back

Peter Jackson just dropped this trailer for his upcoming Beatles Documentary which will debut on Disney+ in November, so if you are feeling nostalgic, like me, this should put a big smile on your face!!!

The Beatles 

Prefer Patek Philippe

Back on October 9th, 2011 I was the first person to document John Lennon rocking his yellow gold Patek Phillipe Reference 2499, and two short days later on October 12, 2021, I was the first to document Paul McCartney rocking his Stainless Steel Patek Philippe Aquanaut [Reference 5167A]. On March 12, 2012, again I was first to document Ringo Starr rocking his Patek Philippe Jumbo Aquanaut [Reference 5065-1A]. Today, I have another amazing first to share with you that you will ONLY see on PatekMagazine.com!!!

Ringo Star

Patek Reference 3448 Perpetual Calendar

Back in 2005 Ringo Starr auctioned off his Patek Philippe Reference 3448 Perpetual Calendar which is pictured below:

The strange thing is that when Ringo's magnificent Patek Philippe was auctioned for $180K, there were zero photos of him wearing it. As they say, "Show me the photo. If there isn't a photo, it didn't happen". Today I am happy to share the first documented photos that show Ringo Starr back in the day, rocking his Patek Philippe Reference 3448, which were discovered by the amazing horological researcher, Nick Gould.

Stainless Steel: Reference 5167A

Once again, I am at a loss for words!!! They say the third time is a charm, and I can't believe it, but I found a third Beatle wearing a Patek Philippe!!!! First I found John Lennon sporting a Patek Philippe [Reference 2499], then I found Sir Paul McCartney sporting a stainless steel Patek Philippe Aquanaut [Reference 5167A].

Just a few hours ago, I posted a photo of Sir Paul McCartney on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine sporting his Patek Philippe Nautilus, and now we have Ringo Starr sporting his Patek Philippe Aquanaut. I imagine now, the quest begins to find the fourth Beatle, George Harrison, sporting a Patek Philippe!!!

I have many more images of Ringo Starr wearing his Patek Philippe, and as time permits, I will publish them in the future. If you examine closely and zoom in on this next classic image of Ring Starr with his trademark "Peace" sign, you can see he is wearing his Patek Philippe. It is fascinating to consider the two remaining Beatles, both wear the exact same Patek Philippe watch model!?!?!?!!!! What are the odds?

The Beatles

1960 to 1970

The Beatles are considered by many to be the greatest pop band that ever existed. I have a Beatles pictorial on Jake's Who Knew World that walks you through their amazing assent.

In the famous Henry Benton Beatles Pillow Fight photo, Paul, John and Ringo are attacking George. It is fascinating to consider the top three guys in this photo all have worn Patek Philippe watches. As I mentioned earlier, all I have to do now is find a photo of George Harrison wearing a Patek Philippe!!!!
