All incredible .
They are indeed big but i would love to wear one for a day or so . And the Only Watch would be my favorite .
A man can dream 🙏🏻
The beauty of a beast
With its huge dimensions for a wristwatch ( 47.7 x 16.07 mm), the Grandmaster Chime is a beast . And the 175th Anniversary ref. 5175R-001 , with its extensively hand-engraved case and lugs , although an extraordinary and fascinating timepiece, probably fe...

I understand your feeling.
But I like it nonetheless, especially the prototype. Best, Emmanuel
Tastes are a very personal thing 😊
The engraved case varieties for me do not hold any appeal whatsoever. The craftsmanship might be there but the style is not one I could contemplate 🤷🏻♂️ The prototypes and versions with a more subdued case are more to my liking but again more a demonstra...
I'm not the target market either and I definitely understand you feeling.
The photos of the prototype speak to me, though: I find this timepiece quite fascinating and love the undulations pattern on the dial. Best, Emmanuel
Fantastic post of the GMC Emmanuel !
What a grail ! Another post on cbb and LPPC (legendary Patek Philippe Collector) will be coming soon 🤫!
Thank you Gordon: a grail indeed !
Looking forward to reading your next post on cbb and LPPC ! Best, Emmanuel
Quite a conundrum
I don’t like the overly engraved cases that PP (and VC for that matter) use. Not my style. Nor is the size. However, in this instance I think the rose gold with the engraving, the size of the watch, the amount of complications- all of it adds up and works...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I understand your general feeling. For whatever reason the photos of the prototype speak to me: I like the idea of this insane machine as a work in progress... Best, Emmanuel
Thank you SO MUCH.
For honoring my dear father. Maybe I’m used to it more, but imo, I still love the engraved case 😉
Honoring your father and your family is a true honor for me and for all of us here.
Your father and family truly embody an ideal of passion, taste, and elegance. It's the art and joy of collecting the most extraordinary and refined Patek Philippe timepieces taken to its highest level. Thank you for everything you share with us. Sincerely...
PS: The engraved case is absolutely fascinating and I enjoyed contemplating it during each of my visits to the Patek Philippe museum.
If I could afford it, I wouldn't hesitate. But what I appreciate most is wearing my watches as often as possible, every day. And the prototype almost feels like it could be worn every day (even though I know that's just a dream). My Chronometro Gondolo 50...
He is indisputably THE LPPC!
I admire him, his daughter cbb and his family greatly. Best, Emmanuel
