New Release
Small-luxury-world provides a comprehensive first look at Patek Philippe's novelties from BaselWorld 2015, offering live pictures and personal impressions. This multi-part report delves into the brand's balanced approach to its collection, highlighting major new releases, interesting iterations, and Patek Philippe's consistent adherence to its core DNA of evolution over revolution.
The current collection counts 241 (after BaselWorld) different models and there should be something for almost any taste/occasion – still there is always the DNA of PP shown. The latter is not self-evident and one of the strength of Patek Philippe. They might not be the most innovative and fashionable company in the (sometimes crazy) world of watches, but they always stick to their own roots. Evolution instead of revolution and it works quite well for them, as we all know.
We already have seen quite a few of the novelties and even started to discuss them here, so I won´t prepare one BIG report like in the past. Instead I will add posts to this one, with (live) pictures and personal comments by me. It will take some time, but I will go ahead - step-by-step.

Thank you Beautiful report Oliver Well Said Regards (Second's in time)
It looks very warm indeed and I already started to consider RG bracelet watches with the Royal Oak 15202, so I'm quite open to this one. The only "no go" for me is the dial's color which seems beautiful and very well matching the RG but which doesn't bring the touch of modernity or "youth" I would be looking for. Anyway, there had to be one in the collection and I'm very satisfied with this one. Thanks for the great pictures Oliver. Cheers, Mark
I share the same view on this like Mark in Paris. The dial is warm and suits the RG. But I would prefer a dial like 5980/ST-RG. This would be more courageous and mediteranian. Just my two cents. Thx for your report and thoughts. Best regards
I'm a bit tired of this kind of combo I must confess. Not for me! Thanks for the pics & comments! Fx
Exception. I do see the point of your title, though. Just not for me. The Nautilus in steel is still the one, for me. And with time passing, I start to much prefer the 5980 among all of the Nautilus references. Best, Nicolas
