Patek Philippe

I hope these pictures are good enough to prove it Just back from the AD A friend I know very well just picked up this watch Without having seen the watches they made for the 175th anniversary I would have chosen the moonphase. Saw the moonphase too 2 hrs ...  

It seems the commemorative watches are available quite quick. Great :-) Thanks, Bruno! Oliver

A very nice shot from the case and the lugs that shows the detail of it, even the small gaps. Loooovely crono! Best Moritz

I believe the lugs are screwed into the case, that's why we have gaps Gaps that you don't see with the naked eye

These lugs make it unique. Do you know if there is another Patek existing with screwed lugs? Best Moritz

Never noticed that before. Nice lugs.

I love this case so much... The most beautiful I think from what I know of Patek collections (to me of course). Cheers, Mark

the close-up shots of this beauty.. cheers !

... not that I have ever received one, but nice that you took a picture of this detail too. Moritz

It really does look so much better than in the press picture… So still pick the world time over this ? Best, Sam

that is a very difficult question Before seeing them I would have said the wordltimer without doubt… Since yesterday I honestly don't know But I don't have the budget so I don't care LOL

Tough choices....which will do better in the long term? black dial on moon phase may be tough to read, but patek has not had really had any complication on their world timers......IMHO a rarer piece.

Look much better in your photos! But again you are really great doing that LoL... I'm hoping to see these pieces in the stores. Hopefully some are kind enough to share :) Best, Sam

the lugs are incredible! Love the detail of how the small part fits into the side of the case while the larger support connect to the bezel edge. True artistry! -Dean

for posting, The watch looks amazing in the flesh. However, is it just me or does the engraving in the back seem a little lack luster for such a gorgeous watch? Patek Philippe has amazing hand craftmans (i.e Patek Philippe 6002g) and this seems a tad low ... 

Not all people like engravings on the watch case. For some it would look too ornamental. Would the 6002 or a 5175 case design be suitable for a practical day watch ? I think not. There is too much "presence" and "show" in the 6002 and 5175. Not really sui...
