Minute repeater, complex chronograph, pocket watch, starry sky, rare craftsmanship...
All the Patek Philippe watches you know or may not know could be found here.
The manager greeted everyone to take their seats, and soon a tall, blonde foreign lady walked in, skillfully making tea for everyone. When she knelt down, she greeted Zhou Wang in English.
Zhou Wang always felt that the way this pretty foreign girl looked at him had a different meaning, or perhaps it was his imagination. After all, foreign girls were generally bold; charm and enthusiasm were common qualities for them.
Zhou Wang instinctively replied in English with a few sentences. Once he spoke, he realized his spoken English had somehow improved immensely...
This was evident from the slightly astonished expression of Jiang Mo, who was sitting next to him.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, we have sent you emails before, but didn’t receive your reply. Before Mr. Tristan returned to the country, he instructed me to express his thanks to you again if I see you. Thanks to your help last time, our event in Beidou was so successful..."
Zhou Wang didn’t know who Mr. Tristan was, but he guessed he might be a senior executive or a family member of Patek Philippe. From the manager’s words, he caught some other information.
"The last time?"
Zhou Wang smiled and asked, "Sorry, my memory might be a bit scrambled. What event are you talking about?"
Up to now, Zhou Wang didn’t know what this manager was called. It certainly wouldn’t be appropriate to ask rashly, considering that the manager recognized him. He could only internally wish the manager would learn from other store managers and wear a name tag or something. Why all the pomp and circumstance...
The manager was momentarily stunned but didn’t think much of it. He instinctively replied, "It was the tenth anniversary event for Yuan Mansion that we held in Beidou at the end of May. It was also because you provided us with many rare watch models that the event caused such a sensation..."
What?
Aren’t you the ones selling the watches? How did it become me providing you with rare watches?
Zhou Wang didn’t initially understand, but quickly caught on.
Patek Philippe had released countless watch models in its history, and many of them were limited editions. Watches with fewer than ten pieces were not uncommon, and they even had "unique pieces" made just one per year.
As these watches were sold, it only made sense that even they couldn’t get their hands on them again...
The event was at the end of May?
He only got the system at the end of June.
If he deduced backwards, it might mean that when Patek Philippe held the event, it was just the end of his "lost memory."
"Did I come then?"
Thinking so, Zhou Wang asked.
"Uh... yes, you made a brief appearance at the party and then left shortly after."
As expected...
Being confirmed from the manager’s words, Zhou Wang was somewhat stunned.
The memory he had obtained the last time was just [number 006], but the time was over a year ago. Judging from the span, he had so many "Memory Gears" left to collect.
Wait, hold on!
Zhou Wang suddenly realized something was off. Doesn’t that mean he should own a lot of Patek Philippe watches?
Where are my watches?
"Ahem, so were the watches I sponsored for your exhibition taken back by me afterward?"
"We sent the watches back to the original address, as per your instructions..."
"What original address?"
"I don’t recall that. I would need to find the receipts from that time to be sure."
While Zhou Wang and the manager were talking, aside from Jiang Mo, whose expression didn’t change much, Wang Ying and Cindy kept looking at each other frequently.
They actually didn’t understand anything, but it didn’t stop them from feeling constrained since they entered this room. There was always a sense that Zhou Wang didn’t seem like someone coming just to buy a watch...
Perhaps they didn’t know the regulations of Patek Philippe, but from the manager’s attitude towards Zhou Wang and the information hinted through his words, they could tell that Zhou Wang seemed to hold a high status within the brand, even needing his help for holding events.
So, what kind of background did Momo’s boyfriend have...
When they first got to know him and chatted, Wang Ying thought she had a preliminary understanding of Zhou Wang. At this moment, she realized she actually knew nothing.
At Zhou Wang’s request, the manager had Anna go find the return receipt from that time, while he smiled and said to Zhou Wang, "Mr. Zhou, thank you for your continued support of Patek Philippe. The starry sky 6104R you ordered indeed arrived at our store last week. Would you like me to get it for you now?"
Since the reward given by the system was random, Zhou Wang actually didn’t know what he ordered. Anyway, whatever the other party said it was, it was.
"Alright, go ahead and get it."
After the manager also left, Zhou Wang paced over to the wall, quickly found the catalog corresponding to the "Starry Sky" series, and after flipping through it simply, he couldn’t help but realize.
Not bad at all. It definitely wasn’t the most expensive Patek Philippe watch, but it wasn’t the cheapest either. In general perception, this series had been considered the "graduation model" in the hearts of many people.
Wang Ying opened her mouth, actually wanting to ask Zhou Wang something, but at this moment, due to some inexplicable mysterious aura adding to his presence, Zhou Wang’s back suddenly became majestic in her eyes. She found herself unable to ask, or rather didn’t know what to ask.
Very soon, the manager returned first, holding a tray.
On the tray was Patek Philippe’s unique watch box, roughly 20 centimeters in length and width, made of Nordic walnut wood, with black piano lacquer. Just the box itself was like a work of art, exuding substantial weight.
