Patek Philippe

Among Patek Philippe 's recent releases is the Retrograde Perpetual Calendar ref. 6159G-001 which has a white gold case and a dial in gray metallized sapphire crystal . It's a new addition to Patek Philippe's long line of Retrograde Perpetual Calendars , ...  

so my favorite here would be the Calatrava (but it doesn't fit my wrist very well, so I guess none of the three are for me)!

Although I've never seen one in person....

but I like the case design and the retrograde dial layout. Best, Emmanuel

provide a look 👀 into the movement !👍 Perhaps more models to follow ?

but I like the case design very much, as well as the dial layout. Best, Emmanuel

For me Patek trying to make the movement less small by putting the hobnail ring around it actually makes it accentuated. Plus 40h PR movement on 120k watch seems like poor effort IMO

but I like the case design here and the dial layout. As for the movement, I feel just like you! Best, Emmanuel

...as I am a big fan of hobnail bezels and the ref. 5050 retrograde PC. A couple of things. It is fairly thick for such a dressy, elegant watch. Also the movement is a bit small. They try to 'hide' it with the hobnail on the back of the case. As a result ... 

but the only thing that really bothers me personally is the size of the movement. I really like the case design, though, and I even like the hobnail pattern on the caseback despite it being a trick to hide the size of the case. But I don’t respond to smok... 

...and it is really nice. But like you, I would prefer a 'regular' dial. But I do love hobnail... a lot : )

I would rather prefer a solid dial. I like the seconds hand in the PC for more animation. In that case, the 53320G-001 with the cream dial from 2017 would be my pick.

even if I like the retrograde display, which the 5320G doesn't have. Best, Emmanuel credit: the watch club ...  

in my opinion. Looks like Lange Lumen and what a dial.

and I agree with you concerning the comparison with the Lumen. But that’s the “problem” for me because I personally don’t respond to tinted sapphire dials. I much prefer solid dials. But it’s just my preference of course and this one is very well made. So... 

i love it so much. I tried it at the boutique in Singapore last week and it is stunning! ...  

and thank you for sharing your hands-on experience. Did you acquire it? If I liked tinted sapphire dials, I would be very interested to as I like the case design and dial layout very much. Best, Emmanuel

the SA just meant that I should be able to get one towards the end of the year... let's see. But I would buy it in a heart beat. They actually offered me the 5270/1R, they had it in stock. But I have a small wrist and the the watch with the bracelet is to... 

I've dedicated a thread to the variants of the 5270 & 5271 and there's no doubt that you G-019 variant looks splendid! I can imagine how stunning the 5270/1R was, but of course I fully understand the reasons why you prefer the new 6159G. I'll keep my fing... 

much appreciated, I will definitely visit it. Still trying to find my way around this forum. But everybody is super welcoming and helpful. ...  

so you can just click on it. Your 5270 is definitely gorgeous!

i do not think (but i have not seen a lume shot so i can't be 100% certain) that the 6159G does not have the full lumen treatment as the langes do. if not i feed the semi-transparent dial just a useless exercise, which gives the watch a dark and sinister ... 

the 6159G doesn't have a Lange-style full lumen treatment. But I personally don't like tinted sapphire dials, even with the full lumen treatment, so this watch isn't for me anyway (even though I like the case design and the dial layout). Just my personal ... 

I am a big fan of such Retrograde Perpetual Calendars. Will need to see it in person, but I am wary it'll be tough to resist.

but I'm not very attracted to tinted sapphire dials (I prefer them solid). But the case design, with hobnail pattern, and the dial layout are very nice indeed. Let us know if and when you see one. Best, Emmanuel

but it is an interesting iteration on this movement which began with the 5050 I believe..
