Patek Philippe

The only Patek which caught my interest, this year, with its darkened transparent dial. Minute repeater, Retrograde Perpetual Calendar, and Tourbillon on the Back. These are the ingredients. The sublime back, with its Cal R TO 27 PS QR. The proportions ar...  

A dream watch, for sure. I don't play the lottery, but maybe I should start. This 5316 and the 5531 world time minute repeater are the best PP releases by far this year. ...  

.. and for the additional photos.

Meaning the Rare Handcraft pieces are excluded from that assessment?

Clearly all the underlying horology anyone could every want. For me I can't stand this (and all similar patek retrograde PC displays) where the leap year eats into the retrograde hand. Made worse by the framing around the leap year on this model. This is ... 

after all, when I the watch is set, few people wonder if today is the second or third year until next leap year? What do you think and has it been done? wasn’t it like that with a Moser, if I recall? Jerome

There are some watches with it on the back.. only needed for setting. I do think there is some desire for a leap year indicator - showing a watch is perpetual, not annual. Obviously a watch at this price and level of horlogy you either know what it is or ... 

That's the post

but I’m going to have one HECK of a year before something like that is up for consideration. Oh well.

But too busy on the dial side

exit watch !👍

...one way would be to move the logo to where 'Tourbillon' is now. Or put the logo on the case back. The guy who paid a million dollars knows who made it : )

This specific reference is perhaps the most remarkable example of the current efforts to modernize Patek's offering....while remaining faithful to its DNA and unmatched quality, at all levels of our catalog! PS: Even if I'm the local moderator, I leave yo... 

Indeed a dream watch beyond reach, just like Mona Lisa.

Of a tonda centum graphite ...  

and wll to sum it up the price kills it too. But even if money was not object would be an easy pass for me.

avant-garde for a Phillipe with the see through dial

Real grail, unattainable 🥹

Maybe even more! 🤣

A bit of a positive surprise to see this iteration… lovely! Will be on dream list for me for a while…

but appreciate the thought!

I pressed my nose on the window in Geneva. It looks indeed gorgeous and for me it replaces my so far grail, the 5208R. Only thing which would have to be checked is the sound. The 5208R has magnificent sound with the rose gold case and this P might have wo...
