Patek Philippe reference 5575 from the 175th Anniversary Collection - WOW!

I was fortunate enough to spend some time recently with fellow Purist GLau in Beijing, who wore his beautiful Patek ref. 5575 World Time Moonphase to our mini-GTG.

Not having had the chance before to spend some quality time with the new reference, all I can say is, WOW!




The case is a thing of beauty - I have always held the classic Patek cases in the highest regard (though I personally feel the recent trend towards overly decorative flourishes on the case surfaces a bit too much for my taste...) and the case used here is just simply sublime - without question the true heir to the timeless elegance and subtle grace of Patek's storied past.

The understated small Patek Philippe logo;

The jaw dropping detail of the moon;

All in all just a stunning piece, the epitome of all that is great about Patek Philippe.

And if you look very carefully, at just the right angle and under just the right light...




Thanks, GLau, looking forward to our next GTG, perhaps with more local watch addicts...

Cheers,

TM
