Next Year is Patek's 175th Anniversary....
So I have a feeling Patek is keeping a few tricks up its sleeve for next year. As for the current lot - I think the 5200g in blue is a winner, as are the 5170g and the black 5960p. As some have already alluded, I think what be more interesting is what has been discontinued...the 5711/1a in blue? the 5960p in grey? And any updates about the Regulator? Also, I guess the 5711/1p was a big fake out? Some Patek webmaster's wet dream perhaps??
That is not a teaser anymore.
The 5960P Black Dial is my favourite, by far, this year, with a certain minute repeater. But are they really new watches, or aesthetical evolutions of existing models? Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2013-04-24 09:53:33
If you look carefully the "new"
models of Patek, 5200G is the only really new thing. I'm at the moment in UK and here the price will be just a bit below 40k, so this watch does not belong to the bargain class... Best, Kari
A teaser as compared with the future comprehensive reports we'll enjoy reading soon
About these,I must say I join your opinion here: many evolutions but no true novelty like the 5270 or the 5204, 5208 the 2 last years. But what is enjoyable though are the black dials that pop up on several models (something Lange sadly didn't dare doing)...
5170
Alot of people will like to see the 5170 in white gold (or is it platinum)?. I am a little disappointed to be honest. I am not crazy about anything they have come out with. Except for the 5170 in a white metal. Well done Patek! Other thoughts?
It's white gold
I like it to, even if I appreciate a bit more the different black dial watches they presented.
Well the 5170G will be a smash hit
with Breguet Numerals??? Fuggetaboutit! Patek collectors and novices alike will go nuts. Patek is really hitting the vintage button with full force, and even in this tiny pic, it looks like they are doing it with all the right stuff. UPDATE: just saw more...
Can't agree, WAY too expensive
How much will they charge ? Close to euro 70K ?? that is too much for such a watch and this is the reason why we see the 5980, 5170, 5270 in the window. Don't think they will sell easy.
Since when do Patek collectors (of this type) care?
Pateks are all ludicrously overpriced, and IMHO, not worth what they ask--or even close! That is not my point. My point is, those collectors who get 'aroused' by ludicrously overpriced watches that say Patek on the dial will jump for this model. ()I shoul...
I am so very happy!
There is nothing I need to get. Okay, the new 5200G is nice but the price is salty. Ladies simple Calatrava and Nautilus are nice but tht's it for me. For the ones who do not have 5170J, the new G is quite nice. Best, Kari
Lol
You know what? I have exactly the same behaviour as yours Kari when I'm discovering any brand's novelties: Pffewww! I don't feel I love one, thus I won't be tortured thinking about getting it (and financing it)! Yes the 5170 is something many will be inte...
I think you made a mistake Mark...
You give us pictures of the watches of the previous years. No, you were right? Ah sorry! ;) Fx
Héhé...
this leaves no doubt about what you are thinking of this new offering ;) I won't be that severe, even if I would also have liked to have a "wow, i WANT that one". Have a look at the bright side: Good news for your purse Fx! Cheers, Mark
A rare offering indeed regarding the fact it is a square watch
Good thing that they think of all the fans who love this kind of shape. Cheers Bruno. Mark
Any info if 5960P grey is discontinued?
5170G for me no doubt. But surprised that there is no 5270 in yellow metal. Anyway, nice... Tnx Mark
No, I don't know about the 5960 grey.
Indeed the 5170 G will be successful. And I too would have liked to have a 5270 in a gold color. Next year I guess ;) Cheers, Mark

I am not in the office for a few hours ...
and see what is happening ... tsss tsss tsss I see at least three watches that I like a lot ... danger ... one that my wife likes a lot ... DANGER ... Now I look forward to see them in the metal :-) Oliver
Some great ones!
Very nice updates to the 5205 (the current ones are "younger" so to speak, and these ones feel more refined). The 5960R was one of my favorites given the lovely black dial to go with the rose gold case, but now this 5960P black dial has me thinking twice ...
The 5200 is cool, but ...
that will be quite expensive. Actually my favorite would be the white gold 5170, but I do not like the Breguet numerals on that. So the best one in this years offering goes to my wife ;-) I am sure, she will love the 7130. Best regards Georg ...
5200
it's certainly a very attractive novelty for someone who like this kind of shape. As for the 5170G, it's funny you mention the Arabic numerals: I usually prefer Roman ones but on this model I think I prefer the Arabic version (It makes me think of the 539...
Not sure about 5170G with arabic numerals
I was waiting for the G but now I'm a little disappointed. I prefer the design of the J, the G now looks a little too old fashioned and a little bit feminine, doesn't it?
I can't describe how the G looks like
but when I bought 5170J, I thought to change it later to G. I am not sure anymore... Best, Kari
Early Contenders
Takes a while for new collection to sink in........... But early on, I'm liking 5227, 5205R with Black Dial, and 5960P with black dial. Nice additions.................
Strangely...the onlywatch I really like is the 5980R
A chunk of solid gold....damn...the Mr T in me arising Best, Horo
