Basel 2010: some live pics of the new range of Patek Philippe chronographs 5170J, 5950A, 5951P, 5960P, 5980/1A and 5980R!
Here are finally the different new chronographs issued this year at BaselWorld by Patek Philippe. I can say that several of them are already haunting my dreams. Patek Philippe 5170J I hope you'll enjoy them. Cheers Dje This message has been edited by Dje ...
Patek Philippe 5170J, the new instant classic!
You've already seen the 5170J last week but this time I can share some live pics. As always the BaselWorld conditions are not ideal for pics, still I hope you'll find the watch appealing. Once again the Patek Philippe star is an understated beauty. The be...
Nice substitute........
......if can be a worthy substitute for the 5070. I am pretty sure it will become a world reference again. Bravo. Vte
5170J and 5205 have renewed my faith
in the Thierry era... I can't say I want to own either piece, but I see Real Pateks here. IMHO!
To me, it looks like vintage watch in a modern body.....
I'm not feeling it. It's neither here nor here. Maybe the white metal or RG version with a different dial may help. But right now, I rather have a true vintage. 5950A is GORGEOUS in real pictures. Thank you Jerome. *CL
I hear you, CL
I think your comments must be part of why I feel no blinding urge to buy, or reserve an example--or even feel big excitement about the color variations (although, I must admit, when this dial gets Arabic numerals, probably on the pt version... it will bec...
Arabic numerals with leaf hands....
and more subtle case....it will be heaven. Again, I love the different color on the second hands, nice touch *CL
A great report.....
many thanks... true, very difficult to take great pictures at the event... however you took us there.... and it was enjoyable.... can't wait to see it in metal.... cheers
WOw
Jerome, I love the brown and Rose combo. But for long time, I have not seen such a great yellow with a black strap. thanks for sharing. I love it.
Patek Philippe 5950A and 5951P, the ultimate chronographs!
As much as the 5170J is a dream we would all want to come true, there are other dreams you just can't dream to see happen! Those two watches, and specially the first one, are occupying the exact opposite situation to the 5170 on the Patek Philippe range o...
those split-seconds hands of 5951P
are so red, so enticing and bold. Certainly bring out the primordial desire of true collectors. Larry
So true ...
but it is one's dreams that make one's life whole. The 5950A is definitely love at first sight for me. Wondering if there will be a 5950p down the road? And last but not least, thank you Jerome for all the nice pics. Cheers, WS
So many watches, so little money
How depressing is that? Not one for chronos (dunno why, just don't get it) but the 5950 is tugging pretty hard, I must say. But was an illusion or did I really see the retail price published somewhere at over 300K Euros?
300K Euro for 5950A is a truth
so the watch remains an illusive truth for me at least, my target actually being the 500K Euro 5951A..those red slim stockings..I mean hands... Larry
Bonjour Jerome, very nice write up, thank you. Your question...
"will we see these type of numerals on a simple Calatrava?" Yes on the 5196P! And this is, in my opinion one of the main reasons which makes this particular Calatrava so enchanting.:) Cheers, Francois
Patek Philippe 5960P with blue dial, the elegant blue chronograph!
Let me begin to say to those who love the slate grey dial of the original 5960 that the original is not discontinued but completed by this gorgeous blued dialed version. The perfect colour for enjoying the greatness of life After four years of life the 59...
5960P looks like
a table to throw bets down on.... the color makes it very busy in pics...
Oh, boy . . .
Dje, This is my top choice from this year's offerings. I have the unfortunate habit of wanting multiple variations of the same watch, once I discover what I really like, and I really like my 5960P. These photos give me my target for next Xmas. Thanks for ...
Lovely....
Love the blue dial version. Thanks for sharing all the info and pics, Dje.
Patek Philippe 5980/1A and 5980R, the sports chronograph!
Patek Philippe reference 5980/1A has been one of the most looked after complicated pieces in the last years. The blue dialed version in steel is still offered but is now completed by a second dial variation of charcoal to black nuances. Patek Philippe 598...
5712 is still on the Patek site
The gold 5711s are no more, but it looks like the gold 5712s are still around. Did you hear different?
Thank you for all those pictures
The 5170 is great indeed, but ofcourse they had too. It is a watch wcich is good enough to be the successor of the 5070. Must be great to own both. If only 1 is possible ,... you guys know my choice ;-)
Your 5070 is gorgeous enough to do without a 5170.....
But if you could get both! Dje
Thanks for all the live pictures, Dje!
The live pictures are particularly convincing IMO that this year's range of Pateks was overall very nice, with one truly outstanding, amazing, just brilliant (to me) watch that goes into Daos' Ridiculously Attractive Watches Archive (My personal highest h...
Thank you...
again Dje.... The new Nautilus dial... is it like the wg version or more black? thank you Cheers ps great report
Blue dial Nautilus Chrono will be discontinued!
It will be be supplied this year but discontinued not later than Basel 2011. That's the information my AD received from PP in Basel!
5960 vs 5980 vs 5712
thanks for a wonderful report Dje. great to see all these exciting new PP's coming along...while most of them are completely out of my range, some are om my radar... I am very much fond of the 5960 and i think the way PP does the annual calender is really...
Super pics, Jerome...
How did you manage to get those pics, my friend? Thanks for this post. I have to think about the 5170 ...As I don't really what to think. Best, Nicolas
you'll buy one in 2013
it also took you a few years to realize you need a 5070 ;-) so a 5170 is on it's way but you don't know it yet lol
I doubt about it...
Too perfect for me, with some serious imperfections... See, for example, the pulsometer ring, which is eaten by the 2 counters. Then, the Roman XII and 6 are not my taste at all. On the other side, the movement is better included on the 5170 than on the 5...
about the case
I agree with most things you say but not about the case. for be the 5070's case is one of the mosr beautifull cases I ever saw. and I can't see a reason whyt the 5170's case would be more elegant
I said it because the 5170 case is thinner, smaller,
As well as the bezel. But, once again, I prefer the 5070 to the 5170, by far, because it corresponds more to my personal taste. Best, Nicolas
5170
I prefer the 5070. The new watch seem me on e clatrava....but it's good the new pulsation climb. (excusme for my english but I have not studied english)
5170 is simply beautiful...
a very elegant chrono.dress watch (not too big, not too small). I'm looking at the the most recent Antiquorum catelog (2nd page) shows a vintage Patek 1463 two register chronograph. The similarities are clearly apparent,... right down to the straight swor...
