Patek Philippe

Hello, I am looking to join the club of 5110P owners! I have tracked one down but am having a hard time determining if it is overly polished. Any insight would be a great help. Thank you! Mike ...  

There is an asymmetry of the edges on the lugs.

it almost disappeared from the polish . ...  

Keep in mind that with Patek the Platinum cases are less sharp then the gold versions. Some Platinum models look like polished watches compared to the gold versions (5070, 5074, 5975, 6102 and some others) Cheers

I was in a second hand dealer in Paris recently. I ask the guy if the have a 1016. He brings me a watch where the ends of the pins are sticking out and there is not one sharp edge on the entire case except the ends of the lugs that are pointed and sharp. ... 

Thanks for posting this very interesting topic. If you or someone else have more examples and pictures illustrating what to look for (or rather, avoid) when it comes to over-polishing, that would be great, and it could serve as a future reference tool.

These pics are very helpful. Thank you.

...can’t comment on the difference to the 5110P, but it certainly looks heavily polished in comparison. Great watch by the way, you won’t regret it when you get a clean one. Happy hunting. ...  

The hunt continues...
