Patek Philippe

One of my favorite Patek releases in recent years. I love the in-line QP display, and the brushed dial and how light plays on it. That said, the finishing leaves much to be desired, but that’s not news on this forum. I’ll save my complains about the movem...  

...but when trying it on it was a bit on the unbalanced side on my 7.25" wrist. It would be near-perfect in stainless steel (I wish) : )

I have to strap it tightly. But it’s more wearable than the platinum Dato!

That is a dream, hope it will become reality one day

Wow ... that's not what i would have expected for a 100K+ watch ... I would may be need to look at my PP(s) see if they have similar finishing on the dial side. I wonder if you could not simply show that to your AD and ask for the second hand to be change... 

I do need to stop by the Henri Stern agency to service another watch and will ask about the second hand on this 5236P too!

A very special release, my favorite PC that is in the lineup. And I have zero doubt that you could get the seconds hand swapped. That said, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the movement.

I’d expect more for a grand complication from Patek that cost six figure. At least, give us some inward angles 😅

macro shots are so good ! 👍

Yes overall a great package and I am still in love!

That's a great photo of that second hand! Shows all the small imperfections! Please keep up with the great photos! Either good or bad, we will enjoy seeing them!

Thanks for posting your honest assessment. I've received top notch service from the professionals at the Henri Stern Agency in the past and I'm sure they will be eager to address this deficiency.

Thank you for those terrific photos. Regardless of the design I am very disappointed that Patek is allowing this to happen. Attention to detail is a fundamental requirement. To me failing to maintain standards is symptomatic of so many companies in all ma... 

but I'm really shocked that this lousy hand passed the PP quality control. This would never happen by a watch from Lange. stere

Unfortunately, we become unpleasantly surprised when viewing with a loupe and photographing in macro. I usually avoid doing both and hope I haven't banged up my watches too bad. Now, though, since you've seen the small second hand, the finishing won't go ... 

It's a really attractive watch, it's a shame that they're cost cutting with the subpar finishing for the price that you pay...

www.watchprosite.com Congrats on your acquisition, just put mine under a loupe and thankfully there was no defect. Above thread was posted previously, suboptimal quality control is not new, glad we have GLau as moderator who is objective. Not sure...
