By: FabR : March 30th, 2022-06:29

Dear Friends, it is my pleasure to introduce to you live the (first group of) releases from Patek's 2022 Collection! These twelve stunning new pieces are also being announced, as we speak, on Patek's official site at: The latest references include: a bra...

Patek's 2022 Collection is live!

Some cool ones

Indeed, I'm still going through the entire material myself (which is A LOT! ;-) but truly several gems here also in the WT and Grand Comp department! :-) Enjoy!

It is nice they have them on their site already!

My pleasure, like in the past it's great to see Patek's site now being updated live at announcement time! Of course, the (rather expected) successor to the 5231J, the new Rare Handcraft 5231G, I'm sure will also be a *huge* blast among collectors! :-)

Yes!

Hope this will be somehow available, at least for the "good" collectors (in a sense, like the J version), but I have no idea about production or distribution yet ;-)

love a few of them...

The 5231G HAS to be yours Karl, but please only one this time! ;-))

Ha ha yes I guess it will.be finding a way

👍👍😍

Thx Fab. Which one do you think I have already ordered? 😂

Wait, because the new Rare Handcraft collection is also live (not sure it is on Patek's site yet, but I can share it in a moment)! :-))

Please do. Thanks.

Here it is, below👍

PS: My initial guess was the 5231G and 5230P, but now I'm also thinking of a 5089 or 5177... :-))

Definitely the 5231G but I’m thinking about others as well.

I’m sure Patek will make you very happy, as usual👍👍🙏

Official MSRP Prices that I just received in USD (as usual, my version might slightly differ from Patek's site by a few dollars):

The new Rare Handcraft collection is also live! It includes 6 pocket watches, 12 dome clocks, 10 Calatravas (of which four 5089Gs and two 5177Gs), and two Golden Ellipses!

Many thanks, Fabrizio!

The Salsa Cuba pocket piece is, to me,

Very close actually, it's called "Ritmo Cubano" (Ref. 992/162G in G gold ;-) Here are all the other 2022 Rare Handcraft pocket watches, for a total of six (we are probably the first to show them here):

PS: And here's also some "Cuban Double Bassists," the gorgeous Calatrava Ref. 5089G-113! ;-)

Equally stunning!

;-)

My pleasure Volker👍🥂

MSRP - ouch

Yes and No would be my pretty convinced answer here Chris (Yes on applying, but No on the dial change ;-)))

me too ... even though it hurts i guess it is hard to resist to the WT charm ..

I tried multiple times too in the past, but then I came to the conclusion that resistance with Patek is impossible....;-))) Seriously, I very much hope you'll receive one of these allocations, both WTs are frankly quite spectacular! ;-) Cheers.

Thanks Fab…

Thanks, and no doubt about that for the 2022 collection....I also have a (different but very big....) announcement to make in exactly one week from today ;-)

Thank you FabR

Pleasure Neils! Please also see the new Rare Handcrafts below :-)

Hmm - i like the aviation theme

+1, this 5089G-089 is one of the most stunning for me! I believe they are currently available for viewing to the press and ADs (by appointment), but next week they'll be open to the public. Hope you can be allocated one!👍🥂

The 2022 Rare Handcraft Collection --- here's for you the full press release! I'm being told by Patek the RH collection is currently available for viewing for press and ADs, and will be open to the public starting April 6 at the Geneva Exhibit. Enjoy!!

PS: And since I have a special love for the 5177G line (Rare Handcrafts with hobnail bezel), here are for you the two new "Chameleon" models offered this year (I believe they are not available on Patek's site yet, but will be soon):

Wow ......

Thanks, would love to see them in person! I'm TOTALLY in love also with this 5089G from the press picture, called "In tribute to the pioneers of aviation"! :-)

Some really great watches and probably my favourite Patek release in years

Many thanks Sham, and congrats on placing an order on this gorgeous 5231G! ;-) Interestingly, note the different map with respect to the 5131G, much more focused on the region not covered by the 5231J ;-)

Yes I noticed the map change

Good points, and the 5230P would also be terrific -- I'm sure it will be much more requested than the G and R! I believe the new J and G maps are meant to be complementary, which makes it quite interesting for the rest of the 5231 series ;-) Cheers.

Just ordered the 5230P! :-)

Fingers crossed for you Sham, you have no doubt asked for one (or two?) of the best new pieces this year! :-) Please keep us posted ;-)

The last one is really nice. Begining to love the ellipse

Many thanks Alberti, Rare Handcrafts have only recently been introduced in the GE line and I think they are truly spectacular! Hope you can be allocated one if you decide to apply ;-) Enjoy.

Thanks Fabrizio.... Any idea on the pricing already? Regards, Alberti

Nope, I was not given any of the Rare Handcraft prices yet, but usually the MSRP for these models is in the $90 to $120k range (depending on model, currency, etc.)

Very casual!

Indeed, I think it's a pretty great mix this year, also including some very modern and more casual offerings (see e.g. the new Calatrava, which I find gorgeous! ;-) Thanks for commenting.

I'm not sure I like that dial...

That's for sure, everything looks great with BC (and even greater with Loro Piana! ;-)) Alas I can't make it to Geneva this time of year, but I'm BADLY looking forward too to seeing the new models (we'll do via Zoom for now)... Cheers.

Here is for you the official press release for today's models:

And finally (for now! ;-) one detailed release specifically on the new AC Travel Time, Ref. 5326G:

Very impressive!!

Indeed, very intrigued by this totally new AC + TT reference....hope you can be allocated one! ;-) Thanks for commenting.

One more useful document specifically for our Rare Handcraft lovers, with a selection of pictures that includes reference numbers (I believe none of this is on Patek's site yet, but it will be soon):

PC and Calatrava

Thanks for commenting, really lots of interesting models this year that I myself still have to fully digest (still 5.49am here, typing with one hand and working the email and WhatsApp with the other for the past 3 hours! ;-))

Without surprise, the long waited 5230P and the 5231G for me.

Thanks Nico, hope you can receive one -- the 5231G in particular would really be next level! ;-) Cheers.

What I find interesting with the 5230P is that they opted for a different guilloché, similar to the 5930G, rather than going for the guilloché of the 5230G and R.

+1, agree, there is a clear departure in this sense from the earlier R and G versions👍

I wonder why...

Just my guess of course, but trying the make the P a little more special must certainly have been a goal, given that the R and G were not very sought after....This P version does appear to be received much more positively by collectors ;-)

Yes, the guilloché of the R and G were rather " special ". Here we are closer to the 5110.

Another very good point regarding the beauty of this dial, arguably the most powerful so far of the 5230 series! ;-) Here's a couple of closeups for you from the press pics:

Thank you

Yep, I’m sure that won’t be an issue — hope this new WT can soon be yours if you decide to apply!👍🥂

The first close up is very nice, indeed.

👍👍🥂

The three that I really like are the

Indeed, same feeling on this very new Calatrava, casual but sophisticated at the same time --- I'm sure it will be a blast (even if it's G rather than A :-)

Plenty of cash for that 5226G, holy shit!

Nope all real, but I just noticed that according to Patek's site you'll get a $3 discount vs. my price (it says $39,030 while I was given $39,033 ;-)) Thanks for commenting!

My pleasure, like in the past it's great to see Patek's site now being updated live at announcement time! Of course, the (rather expected) successor to the 5231J, the new Rare Handcraft 5231G, I'm sure will also be a huge blast among collectors! :-)
