A highly complicated, sophisticated & wearable piece ...
which I never had the pleasure to handle. Something I have to work on ;-)
The reference 5104 Grand Complication in platinum with a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar with a retrograde date indicates the date and the moon age, as well as the day of the week, the month, and the leap-year cycle in an unprecedented way. Patek Philippe developed and patented an ingenious system that relies on small sapphirecrystal wafers for the calendar displays, resulting in a largely transparent dial which reveals the remarkable perpetual calendar mechanism.
Each of the three moving sapphire-crystal disks is underlaid with a small black rectangle that provides a contrasting background for the white day, month, and year indications.
The diameter is (only; for what it is) 43mm and from the proportions shown it should be nice on the wrist. Patrick/Ed or anybody else, do you have a wristshot for us?
Thanks!
Oliver
Patek Philippe collection event in Beverly Hills: TEASER
Tonight the PuristSPro Team joined Patek Philippe for a special private cocktail party showcasing rare timepieces from the Patek watch collection. This event was held at Bar 1912 at the famous Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunset Blvd. It was a treat to have Mr....
Something tells me that you had a great time, my friend.
I miss So Cal! Best, Nicolas.
A great time, and I learned a lot about the brand
And one piece that really attracted me was the Nautilus 5980 in stainless steel and rose gold. I knew it was introduced in 2013, but it was the first time that I've seen the blue gradient dial. It was visually striking. Regards, ED-209

beautiful timepieces , bravo. best, geross
+1!
I am looking forward to the special complication. Interesting they displayed the discontinued Series 1 5270 rather than one of the new versions.
LOL I try my best
:) Hi Oliver and Conkers, thanks for checking out the teaser. I just posted up a video presentation. At the 6:48 and forward part of the video you can hear the chiming of the minute repeater of the 5104P. More pics of the grand comp coming up! Regards, ED...
You're welcome
More pics and video to come. I also heard from Patek that there are some LE's coming out at Baselworld 2014.... Regards, ED-209
Patek Philippe collection event: Part 1, Presentation by Mr. Pettinelli
To start the evening Larry Pettinelli, President of Patek Philippe USA, provided the guests with his insights of the Patek brand along with his thoughts on what makes Patek timepieces so special. And as a treat for everyone, he brought along a Patek 5104P...
Which model?
Thanks Roger, the one that really impressed me the most (other than the grand comp) was the Nautilus 5980 with the blue dial. Stunning. Which Patek are you considering? Regards, ED-209
3 actually!
I have three additions to my PP collection on my radar screen - all are proving difficult! 5131G and J and 5070P.
You're welcome snipermaverick
More pics coming up. ps - I really like the name snipermaverick. You should post some of your 'hardware' on our TimeOut forum :) Regards, ED-209
Larry Pettinelli speaks about limited availability, but
at all the AD's I see more and more pieces that were hard to get before. I hope Patek is not becoming a pure marketing show.
I see a few more
I think that it's great that more 'harder' pieces are now available at the AD's. Which ones have you seen? Regards, ED-209
Patek Philippe Collection Event Part II: Photos of the 5104P
Here are some photos that fellow moderator ED209 and I had the pleasure of taking at the event. Apologies for the quality of the photos, wasn't easy to take these photos in the dim lighting of Bar 1912 within the iconic The Beverly Hills Hotel. The always...

I didn't ask...
Rats. I didn't ask for a wrist shot. Should've gotten a wrist-shot when I was in Geneva when I was at the boutique. I personally love the 5074P. That's my grail watch.
The 5104P pictures
Great photos Patrick, it was nice to see you there. Regards, ED-209
Likewise!
Always a pleasure to see you as well! Really enjoyed your video! And look at all that food!
Patek Philippe collection event in Beverly Hills: Part 3 the cocktail party
The staff at Patek really knows how to throw a party. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable and relaxing. It was great chatting with Mr. Pettinelli and several of the local Patek AD's and representatives. This was geared as a cocktail party but we we...
Look at that!
All that food! Hey, look at that picture frame for the Calatrava and 175 drinks. Those picture frames have the Calatrava cross!
