Patek Philippe

​Dear Friends, as we announced yesterday, here are for you three stunning new releases from Patek's 2021 Collection, which went live just moments ago! See: The 2021 Chrono lineup includes the new references: 5204R-011 in Rose gold, 5905/1A-001 in SS, and...  

I like the 5905/1A-001 and I have already emailed my AD. Looking forward to new pictures and press release

But for me it’s a bit like some aftershaves I’m having to let it warm up on me. I’m not sure that’s a good thing but stranger things have happened. M.

That does seem to happen more with Patek than all other brands. For me that is. Often I’m left feeling a bit cold from press releases etc then when I have it on my wrist some magic happens. M.

The 5204R is absolutely stunning and incredibly tempting.

It will be expensive no doubt and unloved..but still gorgeous to look at

My wild prediction of this (very) controversial color is that It will be the new international advertising piece for the Spring ‘22 PP publications and advertising campaign. It is a visual attraction.

Probably a safer bet !!!!!

...or at least that used to be the pattern. But today, every model (ugly or not) is snapped up immediately...

...my comment was more about the future desirability of watches considered 'ugly' at the time of manufacture. The ref. 5020 comes to mind. I loved it the moment I saw it, but they didn't sell many when it first came out. Now it is very pricey : )

I do agree with your thoughts re the 'fashion color' in a classic model; though the green strap makes everything pop..(will attract a more varied audience IMO) the seconds hand at 6 is a a nice addition.

Although, I believe in the marketing value and the dramatic visual POP that might attract different audiences. OF COURSE; product quality is of primary importance-------non subjective............ My 5110J is my WT love!!!!

Green for go !

We share the passion !

I have to admit that the first thought it gives me is, "Why did I give up my 5960a???"

So far I haven't taken care of the 5905, but the new version is very attractive. Green dial on a bracelet like 5167！

My 5167/1A clasp The 5905/1A clasp ...  

One thing i love about the Bvlgari Octo is the bracelet's amazing comfort on the wrist. Did PP modernize so their butterfly clasp goes into the bracelet like Bvlgari for added comfort?

...  

Here's the Bvlgari bracelet so the clasp goes 'inside' the bracelet. Here's pics of what Bvlgari does, it is sooo comfy! I'm hoping we see some actual innovation from PP soon, though have been saying that for many years Maybe true talented watchmakers hav...  

Certainly these will prompt a lot of excitement and discussion. In particular I would be very interested to hear about PP’s decisions to proceed with green hues. I do love green, so I am fascinated and impressed by their decisions. I also wonder if/how th... 

The choice of green appears pretty "safe" this year (even though the hues Patek chooses are also *really* good -- looking forward to seeing these in person! ;-) And I also find interesting the choice of metals, in particular the SS for the 5905, which I'm... 

And I strongly agree that the 5905 in steel really surprised me. I hope you get to see them soon enough, especially as I want to read your impressions of this piece, including its bracelet style and feel. Is this the same bracelet as the Aquanaut you wear... 

My 5167/1A clasp The new 5905/1A clasp ...  

even if 42 might be too big for me

Additional details and USD prices are as follows: 5204R-011: Split-seconds Chronograph and Perpetual Calendar, housed in a 40 mm rose gold case and featuring a slate gray sunburst dial: $309,893 USD 5905/1A-001: Flyback Chronograph and Annual Calendar in ... 

The 5204, yes, amazing watch, nothing to add that hasnt been said before. But the more I look at the SS 5905 the more I dislike it. Im a huge fan of steel bracelets, but this one would make me not want to look at my wrist - ever. The WT in green is also a... 

Green is not going anywhere it seems. The 5204 RG is spectacular.

One thing that is very clear (again) is that Patek listens to its clients' viewpoints, especially those that suggest a better way of doing things. Specifically, I am thinking of the bracelet on the 5905 SS. A lot of people have clearly expressed their mis... 

Looking forward to seeing the green hue of the 5930 dial in person, but it does look quite impressive from the pictures! Certainly not an easy reference, historically, so let's see if the "heft" of the Platinum will win over more enthusiasts! Cheers.

Green is definitely the in color ! I prefer the 5905 green to the 5930 green because of the steel bracelet. The 5204R looks great ! 👍

The bracelet on the 5905/1a…does it not look like the Aquanaut 5167/1a?

5905/1A clasp 5167/1A 5167/1A clasp ...  

Even my 5968A from 2019 and 2021 5167A has this new style internal design.

My two favorites are the 5930P, and the split second chrono 5204T... All are very fresh with a note of Tierry Stern's input.

In Addition: Your efforts and presentation at 0300 in NYC are much appreciated.

While I am very partial to green, I personally prefer the 5930 in blue …. The guilloche on the blue is better appreciated in most light and I prefer the city dial in solid background. The 5905’s green is supposed to be similar to the 5711-014 but it looks...  

...but it doesn't really matter because I will never get one...not on Patek's radar I'm afraid...
