Question about 5213G
DJE, thanks so much for the overview of this Patek. Do you know when the model will be available, how many will be made and the MSRP. I have not been able to get any info even from Patek yet.
Thanks, Skip
Baselworld 2012: Patek Philippe 5213G, a five stars officer's watch!
There are many reasons to love or not a watch. The watch pictured below shows several characteristics that I particularly affectionate such as the officer case, the "Breguet" or "pomme" (French word for apple) hands, the Arab figures, the window calendar ...
A dream in the morning
Hi Dje, Thanks a lot for this overview about such a fantastic watch. I already really like the 5159 in WG, for many reasons that you already mentioned : round shape but modern in the mean time, the retrograde display etc Here we have a purer version and a...

Somebody has got taste here!

Sublime.............
The chance to see and try this beautiful piece on, would be an honour in itself. Thanks Jerome, for highlighting this beautiful MR. :) Regards Tony
