Patek Philippe

Only a few more days and we will (finally) see the novelties from Patek Philippe 2013 . As a warm-up I checked on my computer which kind of pictures I took in Basel, the years before. Not all of the pictures show novelties, but who cares as long as they a...  

we will see

but am excited to read your future posts. I wonder if the Nautilus line is not my fav. among the actual Patek collection. Certainly. Get a nice rest before the game starts! Cheers, Mark

of the Nautilus collection is very appealing and to me it sings loud as well. Mark, still have some time to rest before I go to Basel - next week. But before the rest (weekend) there is something like a day job ... :-( Cheers, Oliver

Beautiful pictures, especially the case of 5940, these shapes are nanometerly perfect!

I agree :-) Thanks, Oliver

But for this year I will believing vicariously through your posts and watching the forum with breath held ;)

don´t hold your breath for too long, if you wait for my pictures/report. Just have an appointment on Tuesday ... :-)

XXX (Edited: Even Italian 007 has to follow the rules - embargo. Thanks! Oliver)

for the new collections at Baselworld 2013.

5170 G with Breguet numerals looks amazingly great! (And, despite the gossips, no platinum 5711, but 5216 P is something to dream about).

I think it's beautiful! Can't wait to try one in person!

Could someone please enlighten an ignorant soul as to the ref/identity of the PC minute repeater with a 5970 like layout under Basel 2011?

is 5074 :-) Oliver

Thanks Oliver! Come to think of it the layout is actually just like that of a 5140, rather than 5970, but thanks regardless for catching my drift... Is that the reason why it is an auto? Does an automatic movement work as well with a minute repeater as a ... 

Would Patek use that kind of movement for Ref. 5078, 5074, 5013, 5033, 5104 ... if it wouldn´t work? When it comes to minute repeaters I trust in them, for sure :-)

Thanks, it seems I have a lot to learn...
