I dont mind date
Patek generally has a white window to the dates...ot gives the contrast or appearance of beig an hour indeces whereas the same colour it would look like something is missing
Too true - from a purely design-oriented perspective, I think JLC did a better job with the the Memovox Timer (and the 2016 blue dial LE Memovox)...
...than Patek did here. Note, for instance, how much more sophisticated the treatment of the date window frame is on the JLC. The JLC design(s) are also more reflective of the brand's heritage (IMO) than the Patek. In all honesty, despite their prestige a...
Hmmm? Im not seduced
It might as well be a JLC. I don’t see what is “Patek” About it except the logo.
Isnt your comment really unfair towards JLC?
I think they lately did very nice designs. I got your point, just joking ;-)
I think if it's smaller than 40mm like a 38mm. And no date it would be great. 👍
Plus more limited perhaps 800 pcs only instead of 1000 pcs. Plus the crown is screw down. My opinion. 😊 Geross
👍production is probably still a tad less (last I heard we were in the 62–65k range), but a large number indeed for a limited edition.
One way to explain it (besides the expected demand for this model, but that would have been impossible to meet anyway with any reasonable numbers!😂) is the recent discontinuation of several Calatrava references...As we are going to see more modern/casual ...
As mentioned in the other thread, a 1,000 run to me is not so large, especially given the commemorative event, and in comparison with other recent limited editions. For example, the ...
New York Grand Exhibition offered 600 pieces of 5522 just for the US market. The 5522, in a steel case with an "affordable price point", flew out the door, and after around 3 years, it remains highly sought after as evidenced by secondary pricing. Will si...
Agreed on the JLC design link
But I like it, a fresh design that keeps with the 5000-6000 references. Maybe on a jeans blue rubber tropic strap? Something I cannot unsee: photo credit Zeitauktion ...
I like it. Finally a 40mm Calatrava! I wish my 5296 was that size. This 6007 looks a bit like a mix between a JLC Memovox and a late 2000s IWC Spitfire, but hey...
I like both of these, so I definitely like this 6007. I also like how the date window is placed! ...
Nice PP but too similar to the JLC memovox...
And it should have come with an integrated bracelet like everyone else lol
Is anyone going to mention...
...that the hands look like they are made out of plastic? For a USD 28,000 watch? The more I see Patek, the better I like Lange.
I like it too, but very few coming to the UK so not sure whether I can get an allocation
We will find out on 26 June
Strategically, an excellent move!
It is interesting to follow the reactions in this forum and elsewhere about this new watch. I think it is an excellent move from Patek. This watch has enough ingredients to be called "original Patek" and not to be mistaken with other brands. At the same t...
Welcome here Leolin, and thanks also to you for breaking the news of Patek’s first 2020 release!😀
One more piece of information as I added in the other thread: this version will be available for Euros 26,149 or $28,351. I’m still not clear when it hits the ADs, but hopefully by the end of the year. More to follow. Cheers🥂
Super mixed feelings about this one
While i buy into the strategy and logic behind this launch, I genuinely dislike how busy and cluttered that dial is.
I like its modern look
it should have a success for sure in youngsters. Could be more impressed if : - the case was made in Tantalum or in Titanium - there is no date. Now,, after this 2019 Calatrava, I am waiting to discover the new 2020 Calatrava line with another case design...
I have placed my order
which of course has to be approved. I agree that the watch will look better with a date but when Patek uses its 324 caliber, chances are the date will exist. I usually like my watches without a date window but I think my 5212 looks great with it and my fo...
Thank you for saying so!
I seem to be focusing on modern steel Pateks so this 6007 was a no brainer, date or no date! I don't follow JLC so resemblances to the Memovox meant little to me. But a steel Patelk - that's something else.
Its a faux pas..
Here’s another one. When you put mushrooms in an omelette, you get Breakfast of Champignons..
My dealer informed me of a price of 25.500 €. Difference is probably due to lower VAT rate in Germany.
He told me furthermore that he had to submit a list with the names of customers interested in the watch. So it seems that at least PP in Germany tries to check out possible buyers before allocation of the watch. Good idea imho.
Same process in the UK
The AD needs to submit a list of names and Patek Philippe UK will decide who gets the watch.
I didn't know the AD needed to submit the current Patek collection of each person on the list.
It was not the case when he submitted my name for a 5231J.
Thanks. I will check with him tomorrow
I thought Patek Philippe UK will have a comprehensive list.
I think this will be essentially the procedure everywhere, there’s just no alternative given the huge number of applications expected...
The point is that customers must be individually approved by Patek, hence above the AD level (not necessarily by Geneva though). At least in general, providing a copy of your updated list of Pateks can only help, and we’ve all done it at some point👍
Definitely a step sideways, not forward.
I feel that this model is following the "trends". And definitely something that Omega would do. Patek needs to consistently set itself apart and not cave into modern day trends.
Not sure about your „trends“ point. In my opinion PP cannot completely stick in its
traditional style and patterns. A watch company who does not develop new ideas will not survive on the long run. For the time being I find the 6007A interesting but not More. I‘m not sure if I like it enough to buy it if I should get the chance. As always...
