Patek Philippe

In an earlier post I mentioned my preference. www.watchprosite.com Other than the geographical depiction on the map, I like an enamel dial that strikes a balance of 1) as many colors as possible, 2) bright colors where appropriate to make the dial...  

not only since I own the R but my preference was (right after the enamel dial ) the colour of the case material, i m a sucker for rose gold . The differences you ve mentined are noticable under high magnification and these dials are ALL magnificent as soo... 

the enamel dials.

Not sure I follow the differentiation you are making since there are such drastic differences between the dials R to R and G to G due to the process. I would say the G in your photos seems to have a lot of air bubbles in the enamel which is unusual? Not s... 

I asked Patek about the bubbles and Geneva confirmed that they are within the tolerence of quality control.

I don't see the anything in the many photos I have seen that suggests there are smoother transitions in the G compared to the R except to agree that some R's have a hard brown area at about 10 - others do not. I will dig out some high res photos.

For the record, you are disagreeing with me and Henry 🤣

R without snow ❄️!

I have a very early example of a 5131r and mine has no snow. I don’t know how to post photos

On the other hand, R has more vivid and high contrast colours, especially the initial version like Russell's one. However, the colours transition of R is more abrupt. Personally I like G a bit more than R, as the grass next door is usually greener.

poisoned and need to get a G !!! Right ?

My slight preference is for the R though, mainly because of the case color (as I already have the P in white). Thanks for some great pics! ;-)

get the R then ! Let me know if you want me to help you get one.

All WTs are of course great pieces, but I would't mind another "special" rare handcraft at the moment... let's see what the future brings at retail! ;-)

special rare handcraft are you seeking ?

new ones from rare handcrafts coming out soon ?

WhatsApp then ! 🤣

Also interesting that there are different teams that work on the G+P than R+J.

truly unique ! Please read my earlier post and others' comments with my replies to understand more www.watchprosite.com

poisoned with enamel now !

So which team is responsible for R and J? I thought all done by Anita P.

The original J makers were a mother and son team, and perhaps they also made Rs

Given that the enamels are done by hand by different teams, I wonder if you can comment on other aspects such as the accuracy of shapes and shades

earlier post by me and my exchanges with Patekova that explain the differences. Let me know if you have other comments and/or questions.

enamel ADDICT/SLAVE 😇

This really shows how seriously & knowledgeably you are with your time pieces

kind words ! I am just an addict / slave ! 🤪

prefer the R ?? 🤣😂

Honestly I think they’re all lovely...clearly my connoisseurship has some way to go! Congrats to Gordon our resident cloisonné expert, this kind of detailed examination and knowledge (and the conversation around it) is superb and the kind of content that ...
