Patek Philippe

The day started with a 20-minute taxi ride from downtown hotel to Palexpo , exhibition center next to Geneva airport. As I rushed out for a 10 o’clock appointment, I had no time for breakfast because of GTG from the night prior somehow ended with (lots of...  

...I would have done the power reserve on the 8-day differently, but they may have been constrained by the underlying movement... It is an interesting watch.

5328G soon ! Please post comments after your inspection.

How was the wildlife? 😜 the people-watching there can be hilarious. Gonna have to get the lowdown on the Cubimini from you when I’m next back in HK! Best E.

“walk on the wild side” !🤣

Lou Reed was performing a “walk on the wild side” !

It seems to look really good in live pictures. I did not expect that.

even better in the metal !👍 When will you get to try it ?

Great to hear Jasmina and Ignacio are still our champions at Patek.

helpful to WPS 👍 Jerome is also a BIG supporter 💪 Which one(s) sings to you ?

Seriously thanks for a lovely and personal report You are the best Julian I have not made any opinions on any of the Patek lineup but that 6196 def caught my eye

liver and waistline to make it personal !😅 Thank you for your kind words !👍 Hope you weigh in on the new pieces soon.

The novelty which sings the most to my heart is 5370R (probably predictable given my taste for colored gold and traditional looking watches). Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel

difficulty in producing the enamel dial with two contrasting colors !

Thank you for sharing the photos and your access to the novelties! I feel Patek presented some of the “best of show” this year.

marvelous experience, greatly enhanced by this year's great line-up !

"glorious quality" ?

vegetables and "dryness" ! :-(

key reason will be for the after-party !

Wow. And that 8 day calatrava is fire 🔥.

tick on my bucket list ! Overall meaning the Patek visit, meeting with Anita Porchet, various GTGs (Horology Ancienne, WPS moderators, and forum members), after-party, etc.

your wrist shots soon !

To me these should not go beyond 38mm and even 36mm in the current trend of reducing diameters

38mm and a thickness of 9.33mm

It might be tough to resist if that dial on the 5370R is cased in white metals.

request can then be noted.

might come out evenutally ? 👍

Then I have to start saving for it now. 😉

IMMEDIATELY for the possible eventuality ! 🤣

and light hearted reportage helps make it an entire experience and adventure. Much more interesting that way! As for the watches, the one I am most interested in is 6196P. By any chance do you happen to know the lug width (21mm?) and buckle size (16mm?) B... 

Unfortunately I do not know the lug width and buckle size, but can only inform you that the case is 38mm. Does a 38mm case imply certain lug width and buckle size ?

We live vicariously through you. These are great insights. Please tell us you have a picture of your rare handcraft in the leopard room?

vicariously ! Leopard room was a bit dark which was conducive to much drinking but not wrist-shots unfortunately !

It looks like you had fun. All the best, Jon

long traveling time !

Really lovely to read about your report and access to the inner PP circle as well as life at W&W! That the brand is personable and is prepared to give time to you and WPS goes a long way to explain why PP has its diehard fans. Thought it was 6196P as the ... 

do as a Patek moderator vs being an influencer, other than that I am a volunteer on WPS and provide positive criticism where needed ?

Since wrist shots make watches look bigger .. I suspect the 45 Cubitus maybe a better fit for you.. Anyways the 5370 is outstanding in your pictures, unfortunately I couldn’t find one to give it a test drive The 6196 looks good on your wrist

POISONING ☠️ me !🤣 For Cubitus, my sweet spot would be 42.5mm 😇 Which one(s) are you gunning for ?

What’s lacking in my PP collection is a 3 hand manual winding calatrava maybe one day they will make it with breguet numerals.. meanwhile I will try to be contented with this, although not 3 hands : ...  

reference number ?

Please share a photo of the back engraving !

Here’s a pic of the officer back.. ...

I read your post abt the sutle differences between the 2.. thanks for that post..

Wish I were there to share the wonderful experiences with you!

is caring which is the motto of WPS 💪!!!

It was also great meeting you, looking forward to repeating next year again 😉 From the novelties, the 5328G and the 6196P are already noted in my wish list 😊 Cheers!

Hopefully we meet again at W&W and/or the Milan Grand Exhibition next year ! Will you be going to both ?

The Grand Exhibition was not in my radar, but I would love to go too. Do you have any info? I've just Googled it and didn't found mucho, other than Patek's announcement. Cheers!

New York (2017), Singapore 🇸🇬 (2019) and Tokyo (2023), and each one was different and enjoyable. See you in Milan ? 😉

I will definitely look at it, I've already put a placeholder in my calendar... hehehe

Italian food and drinks !

What an AWESOME 🤩 trip!! Nice to see wrist shots of the new references…especially the 40mm Nautilus.

get the 40mm Cubitus?
