The venue chosen for Patek to showcase their prowess in the production of chronographs was the famous Battersea powerstation. When I first arrived, to be honest I thought OMG...can there really be an exhibtion from Patek here? The building itself is liste...
Love the 1924 vertical register chronograph and it's nice to compare the old and new cushion models. Sounds like a great event - you were appropriately attired with a 5970p. All the best.
And thanks, also, for the mini scoop about the steel 5004. Personally, among those you showed, I will faithfully stick to my favourites: 5970 P and 5070 P. I can imagine how you felt in front of such great pieces, Imran. Thanks for the post! Best. Nicolas
Damned, I HAD TO BE THERE Chronographs are for me the most interesting and beautifull watches available. I appreciate tourbillons and repeaters but I'll pick a chrono over a tourbillon every day of the week. That must have been a great evening Thanks for ...
This Naughty Lus is growing on me... A Manual and An Automatic Chrono from PP... Now that would be a cool pair. Are you thinking about it? Bext, Nicolas.
I always want more than I can afford. Most of us will have this problem LOL Now, if I could afford it WITHOUT NEEDING TO SELL quite a few other watches I love I would buy it without any doubt. But right now, I just can't afford it or I don't want to sell ...
the 5004 is nice for sure but so out of my league. Now, if they would make a very limited run of a 5070 in steel ... I would sell almost everything I have .... hmmm imo nothing beats a 5070 imagine a 5070/a with beige cream dial - baileys color... yummy y...
to enter that building upon first sight. Looks like an ideal place for a mugging, especially when wearing a 5970P. Glad you made it out. What a superb presentation! Patek chronos are the benchmark but only for the chosen few. Thanks for sharing. fernando
At present Patek is only taking orders for the 5004A and then it will be up Thiery Stern to decide who gets the allocation. Production is to be over 3 years, with 50 pieces a years that will be produced. A marketing coupe for Patek. I have been promised o...
I have thought that the 5070P is the most beautiful "simple" chronograph ever produced by Patek, and this report does not change my mind. My favorite complication.
Imran, Thank you for the great reporting and wonderful pictures. I have a soft spot for chronograph wristwatches and this post made my heart beats a tad faster. LOL. I am looking to add to my 5960P. Hopefully they'll make 5270 in either platinum or steel....
A very nice event at an interesting venue location. Nevertheless, the most important is the content present at the venue, and Patek Philippe's array of classic and current chronographs does not disappoint! Thank you for sharing this important and impressi...
