Patek Philippe

Better in Person.

 

Thank you for the Great Post Dr.No.

I just want to say my impressions from the exhibition. IT WAS AMAZING!
I wish everyone from this forum gets to see it. It is a great experience.
The best thing about seeing them, is your opinion changes about some models, which you would not consider to purchase.

Besides the fact of all pieces were very beautiful and elegant, I am very impressed with;
1) 5196P. Never thought it would be that beautiful. It is perfectly made.
2) 6000G. Again, never considered it. It is another winner.
3) I found out that 3520D is a better size for me than 5120.

On the big players;
1) I have always been in love with 5016, now I don't know what to feel!
2) I liked the thickness of 5004. Some don't but it is quite good.
3) 3939H. THEE most elegant watch.
4) 5002. Very big and thick.
5) 5207P. Best watch. No words to describe.

Again, Thank you Dr.No.

Yep, heavyweight territory, my friend.. This 5070P is growing on me, but I'd be happy with a WG 5070 too, as it seems very difficult to get a P version. You also saw the 5959 Black dialed..Your impressions compared to the white version? The mix PC Chrono ...

. . . as this is the end of Part I; you will get to enjoy David's superior photos in the second installment. I'll leave you with my favorite of the exhibit, and a watch that I've long admired in virtual reality - the Patek 2554, this example in rose gold ...
