Agree with your thoughts. With my age increased, 5140 is growing on me for its simplistic design yet complicated function. Enjoy yours often! Henry
Back to basics!
With the mania around sport watches in general, and the hysteria around the Tiffany pieces reaching a fewer pitch, let's take a step back a look at what Patek Philippe really is known for: timeless and understated elegance and top quality. A good example ...
Superlative pictures,
I especially love your macros of the 5140 and 5146, the dial of which among those is my favorite! Much appreciated, Filip
First off, as moderator let me congratulate you on a truly nice and positive contribution to our forum! This is indeed a superb selection of what makes Patek....Patek in the eyes of all watch enthusiasts! ;-)
The class, timeless beauty, and superb quality combined with the historical value of each of these timepieces are impossible to beat --- even more so when they are portrayed as beautifully as you did in these photographs! I already knew your value as a co...
Stunning collection of classic PP Thanks for showing
Yes PP is much larger than the just Nautilus and Aquanaut Julian
For sure!
We can only hope that PP sees it or at least starts to see it that way, too. At the moment their marketing seems heavily weighted to hyper-luxury watches and artificially hyped watches, which are relatively „simple“ pieces from an horological point of vie...
This is the real Patek Philippe.

A very nice post!

Thanks a lot for this tip, Fabrizio!
I sm going to deal with the 5116 more closely now.
Hi w220, WOW ! Thank you for writing this post and sharing your great collection with us as a reminder of why we LOVE Patek !
Your photos are so good ! Patek is truly diversified in terms of its line-up, classic DNA, complications, and understated elegance ! Please keep writing more posts.

This is definitely a reference overlooked by many. Patek just posted a IG story on it and looks very interesting. Could it be this will come back in a new reference for 2022??
