Patek Philippe

Interesting project Keks

This is not the kind of watches we hear a lot and for me it is an opportunity to learn a little more about the brand's history.

Hence, I find your pros and cons list very educational

First, maybe you already read this one but here is a post from SuitbertW about the novelty back in 2006: www.watchprosite.com 1

I don't know these watches in detail but as a more modern watch user, I must say that I have a much significant attraction for the 5565.

This is a new Patek Philippe shape to me and an appealing one with its smooth design and a slighty sporty feeling.

Limited number: from what I understood from a Patek salesperson they never mention the X/300 number when it is a limited edition, on the contrary to other brands.

The 215 is a very nice movement, it is just a little small considering today's standards. As this 5565 is 36mm, this is not a problem to me.

Of course this is only my feeling.

Nice hunt Keks!

Cheers, Mark

If my memory serves me right the 565 duo you posted are two exquisite pieces owned by "Roni M". Another link to photos of his 565 duo along with other amazing pieces: The 565 were also made with small sub seconds as an alternative to the center seconds ...
