Still very much on my mind
Among the watches I constantly think about and dream of seeing in real life one day and perhaps acquiring , the ref. 5105 holds a special place . Platinum , caliber 9-90 , limited to 100 pieces, unique buckle , unique box ... A true dream for me ( previou...
Thanks for your beautiful pics.
I know and understand your preference. I might share it. But until I've seen this one in person, I can't tell. I don't care for the 10-Day power reserve of the 5100: winding a watch daily is a pleasure for me and I love the architecture of the 9-90 calibe...
Rolex would be proud!
Look at all that text on the bottom plate! Lovely watch otherwise.
Ha, yes, absolutely!
Earlier versions of the 9-90 didn't feature so much text: could it be a result (a requirement) of the Geneva Seal? Best, Emmanuel ...
Yes, but I like less the asymmetrical case of the 524.
I'd rather have a 492: www.watchprosite.com Best, Emmanuel
I tend to agree, but true vintage doesn't let you see the 9-90...
And finding nice untouched examples isn't always easy.
This is an absolute beauty Emmanuel...
The case design, the crystal curvature and the movement is gorgeous. To me, the movement itself makes it a grail watch. Thank you for the beautiful close up shots Emmanuel. Legendary watch in my books, as I love patek shaped watches. Rishi
Legendary for me to, dear Rishi.
I just have to find a way to see one in real life someday: not easy, I'm confident it will happen. Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, this could be THE true
love of your horological life ! How will gondolo feel about that ?🤣
As always your excellent taste shows!
The case and crystal on this reference are worth the price of admission (however extravagant that might be) alone. Perhaps someday one will find its way to you... In the meantime, you can find solace in your 5098P.
Thank you so much for your very kind words !
Thankfully, I find solace and even much more in my Chronometro Gondolo. And I’ll just keep an eye open for the 5105. Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel
I am sorry to say I am a bit of a contrarian regarding 5105P. I have seen and tried this watch on more than once. I love the style and execution of the case. I love the movement.
I love the 1930s/1940s stepped case rectangles that inspired this watch. I do like this watch and have been tempted more than once BUT I always find that the dial leaves me a bit cold. For me it lacks the style and warmth of the vintage ones. Patek got it...
Thee atch is definitely a " cold watch " as it is platinum with a white dial but the styling and the edges and the crystal is what sings to me . But thta is why there is a such a large differnce in collectors habits and
desires One persons chateau d'yquem is a another's salad dressing!! J
So, I guess I’ll have to wait until I can
see this watch in person to know if it’s my Château d’Yquem or my salad dressing ! ;-) Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts
and experience. It might share your feeling one I get the chance to see this watch in the metal. In the meantime the 5098P gives me all the pleasure I can wish. Best, Emmanuel
This is so very nice of you. I thank you so much very sincerely.
I really wish I were visiting UK right now... Have a great weekend, Stirling. Best, Emmanuel
