Patek Philippe

I am in Auckland this week. I stopped by the Patek AD to have a look as I always do in every city I travel to. They had a 5327 R for sale. I was wondering what fellow purists think about this watch. I really like the warmth of the cream colored lacquered ...  

Just have them change the hands to Breguet style to match the dial and you're all set. It is one of the nicer modern Pateks out there.

I have always been fond of that model ever since it hit the market.

Yours is the first wrist I have seen that suits the 5327. This is not a popular reference as many prefer the 5140 and the 3940. The reason being the size is too large and the same movement used in the 37mm 5140 and the 36mm 3940 is used in the 39mm 5327 m... 

..you will take a big hit on this unless you buy it at the right price. i see versions of the 5327 in basically every PP AD around the world.

buying a new Patek perpetual calendar will result in a sharp fall in value if re sold immediately apart from perhaps the new 5320. However, as proven over time and with the earier models, if one keeps the watch for over a decade, it is likely to appreciat... 

judging solely by the ascetics. The dial exudes so much poetry and elegance.

It’s been on my radar since it’s launch. The Rose is stunning. Good luck. Miles.

I will take my time and look around for a 5327R at a good price. Maybe I can find one that has been lingering in an AD for a long time. The piece I looked at in Auckland has been there since September 1

Make them an offer - also look on chrono

I just purchased the 5327 G with blue dial and strap and love it- a real modern classic - not sure what all this silliness about 240 Q movement being too small ! It’s a wonderful time piece.

Go for Vacheron Constantin , they make Beautiful Perpetual Calendars and more Exclusive with unmatched Heritage as pateks became very common and also Vacheron Constantin Finishing is better .

Do you have a particular reference in mind.

How about : Patrimony perpetual calendar Reference: 43175 or Traditionnelle perpetual calendar openworked Reference: 43172 or Overseas ultra-thin perpetual calendar Reference: 4300V . The Traditionnelle perpetual calendar openworked Reference: 43172 Movem... 

Thanks very much.

Ha, if you want to have a piece to lose money on and impossible to resell , that’s the one to buy- no comparison to PP .

I think in Rose it looks stunning. But I am a huge fan of the 5074r. Go on pull the trigger. M.

I love the warmth of the cream dial and rose gold. I think the size at 39mm is perfect. I appreciate the input very much.

Beautiful minute repeater perpetual calendar combination.

I am back from NZ which is where I saw the 5327 in my wrist. I now have to find one in the US and see if I can make a deal.
