Patek Philippe

Not much discussion here on this piece. Any feedback on it? Lugs look very nice. Dial is very cool. Limited to 300 pc. Very low compared to recent limited editions. Worth a premium ( as in full list for this piece vs market price on "regular" 5230g.)?

I like the design, and that it's a LE for the Patek event in NY. AD has a list of interested parties. Hopefully might get a call. I heard that AD's have already received a confirmation of their allocation the past week. It's now up to the AD's to decide w... 

I saw it at the exhibition. It is a very nice piece.

But can see it has somewhat more limited appeal than world map as owner likely want to have e some association to NYC as the dial is quite specific. With regards to premium worth I do not know what to say, possibly but only you can decide what you think i... 

Yes, I agree that this watch may only appeal to those that are somewhat "connected" to the Big Apple. There have been numerous Patek World Timer watches that in the past were of limited editions...such as the following: Shanghai What is the value of the "... 

....to me, deriving the end value point in monetary terms as an arbiter of success is not what drives me to buy a watch. The end value point is not a determinant in something's attraction with respect to watch collecting for me...i leave that to financial... 

Yes, I agree with your thoughts on this. I, too, am a believer in purchasing watches for one's interest and pursuit. Being a Patek "collector"... I am confident that my collection will be looked after either by my heir or another collector, if sold....in ... 

Sorry..couldn't find any photos of it...just the link from Patek website

I think it will be quite personal, a different approach for everyone. I love the white material (WG here) and blue dial combination and I like NYC. Hence, this 5230 NYC would be something I would have liked to get quite much (especially as I love the 5230... 

I've never purchased a watch based on potential appreciation, and have never sold a piece. I have always purchased what I love. I really like it a lot and my thought process isn't really is it going to be worth more (a big plus) but rather will it be sell... 

We always like to know what the risks are when dealing with higher budgets. I hope you can get one if it appeals to you! Best, Mark

Without crossing the line, generally I would think that any Patek Limited Edition, after being worn, would eventually trade no less than a regular reference in terms of percentage of retail price. Hope this is helpful. Cheers, Gordon

They are after all, different. In this instance, the NY dial is especially selected to commemorate the event.

Surely as a moderator, you must have some pull for allocation ... I assume

But I'll be glad to enjoy seeing pictures of it on some of our members' wrists! Thanks Jonrus Best, Mark

I like the piece a lot. I love the WG blue dial combo, love the case, like the size. I did attend the NYC exhibition and saw it there. It's a beautiful piece. My dilemma is that I'd like to get a 5930 since I'm really a chrono guy. If I get a NYC world ti... 

Non watch people think we're nuts!

Just put my name in for one, should have it within a month or less $53K+. I too love NYC but am unsure of how the dial will affect value. I tend to think with my desires and my pocketbook. Don't we all want to feel our choice was a good one on both fronts... 

The 5230 NYC edition will only be 300 pieces if I remember correctly. Which will make them normally go up in price. As like the 5575 which was made in 1500 pieces has increased in price. I never buy watches in the gray market so i don't really know what t... 

I don't have a WT yet but I find a lot of appeal in this complication and I must say I'm attracted by the 5930 too, especially for its specific proportions. The 5230 is a very well born reference as well and it is very hard to chose if we also consider th... 

post some photos !

A friend received his already, Mine should hit the AD in the next week and then off to me.

await your wrist shots and review on this great reference !
