Patek Philippe

Having dedicated a thread to the ref. 5950 & 5951 , I didn't include them here. And this, of course, is a non exhaustive overview, especially for ref. 5004. Best to you all. Ref. 5959 with cal. CHR 27-525 PS 5959P-001 (Credit: K2 Luxury) 5959P-011 (The Ke...  

...I love how they don't 'flip' the numbers in the subdials...

And the 5959 is great indeed.

Perhaps the 5959r? Amazing stuff. Cue Bogart from "The Maltese Falcon."

or maybe P (still with black dial). And yes, very Maltese-falcon-looking!

Thanks for posting them!

I didn’t know it was unreliable as well: not a good point… On paper, the 5959 (P or R with black dial) appeals to me more, I think. But what I would like in real life is hard to tell...

Notice how the moon phase is “up” in the 5004 and “down” in the 5204 & 5308.

Thank you for this post

5959 with white dial and the 5270 with black dial.. and I prefer the movement in the 5959, just needs to be bigger ~ 38, would have been perfect Somehow the 5004 doesn’t speak to me.. and the 5204s moles do not speak to me

5004 is too thick and I don’t like the lumed hands of the 5204 (I don’t mind the moles too much personally). Thanks for looking.

5959, 5370 & 5372. The 5308 certainly is a “tour de force” but it seems to me to be a big chunk of a watch!

I would just say that the 5207P (which looks fantastic on your wrist) has a less busy dial because of the absence of the chronograph. Also it has a moon phase looking up (vs down on the 5308), which I like more. And, more importantly, it is 41 x 13,81mm (... 

The original Patek 5959P is a top notch piece of watchmaking all-around and has not been diminished in the years that have passed since its release. It's an anti-fashion watch, with its small size and old fashioned sensibilities, almost certainly delicate... 

Thanks for looking.

Which one is your favorite ? For 5959 and 5004 are simply GRAILS ! I had the opportunity to try 5959 on the wrist and this smaller watch pack a BIG punch 🤛 ! ...  

so my feeling is very unreliable. But I think my preference goes to the models with only two subdials (less busy, “cleaner”-looking): 5370 & 5959.
