I’m glad you like it too, Marc.
It’s grail level fo me. I would also be very attracted to a 5105P.
Future will tell if I manage to one…

My kind of dream watch
Vintage rectangular Patek Philippe watches equipped with the 9-90 caliber are at the top of my wish list . So I'm constantly on the lookout . The ref. 492 is particularly attractive to me, as it is the ancestor of the modern limited edition ref. 5105 , to...
Yes, and a masterpiece of 1930s design, for me.
And the Roman numerals dial appeals to me more than the ones with Breguet numerals. Best, Emmanuel credit: Antiquorum ...
I generally prefer Breguet numerals....
Quite disproportionately even, but in this case they make the dial too cluttered in my opinion....
I understand why, Gary, even if I personally prefer Roman!
Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much!
Yes, the case is pure 1930s design, and so appealing. Best, Emmanuel
Created in 1959
Thank you for this post. Of course anything created in 1959 (this is the eighth decade of existence) is a masterpiece and I look forward to my 67th birthday next month. I will of course enjoy the day with this special Patek! Thank you again. ...
I really hope to be able to at least see one in real life someday.
And maybe even grab one, if I ever get that chance. A dream for me.
Unlike me, you’ve seen both,
so you know better than me. Impossible for me to be sure until I see a 5105.
You were created in 1959 and I wish you in advance
a wonderful 67th birthday! Your 5105P, created in 2006, is a grail for me: I hope to at least see one in real life someday and maybe acquire one if an opportunity presents itself. As for the ref. 492, it was created during the 1930s. Many thanks for shari...
1959 Creation
The beating heart of this watch was created in 1959. The case and dial originate from 2006. Patek discovered a box of old movements when they cleared out old premises and the idea was born. So is it vintage or not?
It's both modern and vintage and I And I so hope that I will manage to see one someday and maybe even own one...
Looking at your photos above, I was once again seized by a very intense desire to see one in person as soon as possible. I know the encounter with this watch will be a major moment for me.
What a beautiful and classy looking Patek Philippe ref: 492.
The roman numerals on this watch look much better than the Breguet numeral version, this watch kind of reminds me of a Cartier Tank Americaine. Marc

Thank you so much, J!
Hopefully a beautiful example will show up in Europe. Or maybe even a 5105P, who knows? Best, Emmanuel
HI Emmanuel, This watch is right up your alley with its
rectangular shape ! Something will surface in Europe soon I hope.
