Hopefully soon all this Hype nonsense will die down.
And then we can get back to enjoying and appreciating proper Patek Philippe craftsmanship and absolute horological genius.
This is one such example and one that I’m pleased to say is starting to become harder to get and the value is on the rise.
About bloody time.

Absolutely my friend. That’s what it’s about.
Pure class. I don’t think it’s an age thing as I distinctly remember wanting a 5196 for a very long time. Just had so many other watches which always somehow got in the way. Wrongly so I may add. For me this is and will always be what Patek are about. M. ...
Wore my 5196P at a black tie event this weekend
Yes, it felt right, but then I wore it with jeans and a T-Shirt and it felt GREAT! I expect to wear jeans and a T-Shirt much more often these days (they fit better, too😁) so I expect to keep pace with the 5196P as well.
Yes Nico I agree.
In technical horological terms this watch to me at least is very important. And being the first of the series and platinum is the icing on the cake. I believe there is a great article coming out in the next Patek magazine on the 5960. Maybe Geneva are als...

It is a fantastic watch, and so much value for what you get.
Nice to know that its appreciation is rising.
Must be the patek with the most useful complications at sensible money.
Surely this must be the case ?? M.
Funny you should say that.
I’ve got a new strap arriving tomorrow in Ostrich. I love this watch but it is a real nightmare to match with a strap. I think I may have nailed it. One coming for the 5196p also 👍🏼🙏🏼. What is the one in Paris you speak of my friend???? M.
Sheer Genius
Many of us have been calling on PP to damp down the 5711 hype. They did it! Absolute genius! Produce a 5711 with a dull dial then apply a cheap transfer to the sapphire case back. Job done! I am in awe of their genius and, look, it has worked - we moved s...
😂😂😂😂😂😂. Your sense of humour is genius.
Am 100% in agreement with you. Maybe a cunning plan to kill the Nautilus madness. M.
