Don't get me wrong, PP...
I never said I hated it, I hate the Hype around this watch.
To say all, which makes me sad is that I'm not sure that everybody loves the watch for what it is, but for what it represents.
I too often hear or read..." Wow, that is a lot of money " rather than " Wow, it is a beautiful watch ".
To me it is a beautiful watch, and that is the most important, indeed.
But I prefer wearing it when I'm at home, rather than " parading " ( showing off in correct English ) outside with it on my wrist.
With the 5110P, this is a totally different story.
As it stays away from the Hype.
Best,
Nicolas
Which "one " Patek Philippe reference # makes you break into a big smile when you...
think of it ; see it ; or wear it ; dream of it, talk about it ?
A totally out of the Hype one...
It makes me smile, it makes me dream, in total innocence... If I had to only keep one PP, it would be one WT. Best, Nicolas...
Daylight saving time adjustment
Hi Nicholas thanks for posting the pic; beautiful watches. I'm thinking of getting a 5110WG pre-owned. How do you adjust the watch (or adapt to, if you can't adjust the watch) when daylight saving time kicks in? Rgds Weng-Ho
No problems, Weng,
The Hour hand is coupled to the World Time bezel, so, if like today the hour changes ( + 1 in France ), you just have to set the new hour, and the bezel will simultaneously follow. Best, Nicolas

I see......
but I have to disagree with you my friend on this one..... we wear our watches because we enjoy them not because what other people think..... otherwise you have to restrict yourself from also wearing rolexes...... cheers
I don't really care about what people think, PP.
When I decide to pick a watch, I never pay attention to others opinion, or I would only have PP or VC watches, maybe also Rolexes... My point of view is only the POV of a passionate guy. From a " Hype " and a " Non Hype " watch, I always prefer the " non ...
But....
that is exactly my point..... and in this we agree... we like what we like regardless of value, price or social status personally I prefer the 5070 but the 5110 is also a fantastic watch which have been growing on me ever since I saw it up close in Paris....
Lol....
true... he made me start thinking about the world timer... happy Easter... Cheers
if i had to keep one, it would be
the 5070P Some watches have tremendous soul. That would be the one that resonates with me
I cannot get the 5131g out of my mind. I always smile just day dreaming of the 5131g
I hope the higher powers are reading this.
Has to be this one
5020R: Cushion shape case is back in vogue, a discontiued relative of 5950A, 5951P....
You should elaborate, Eric.
I think your thougths will be of interest for all of us. Best, Nicolas
Aussie, this is what I have though I haven't worn it much
lately, but I'm still loving it like the first day I owned it. A 'quiet' beauty. Mech....
