Nope! Not yet at least!
Remember, in Buddhist culture, when a monk finishes making their mandala, they eventually destroy it within a few days of making it! So, if a monk had a sports watch with this mandala design on it, they probably wouldn't be too sad if they scratched the watch while using it.
Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 2024
Moderators Patrick_y and FabR are pleased to present to you some selected highlights of Patek Philippe's 2024 Rare Handcrafts. This year, 2024, brings perhaps the largest collection of Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts. Over 80 different products are availab...
Arigatou Anaroku!
Do you have a favorite this year? Can you imagine, it's already been 10 months since we last met? Time flies!
I'm okay this year too.
Although I still really like some of the Japanese models we saw together last summer in Tokyo. I found this woodcut in a museum in America! ...
Can you imagine me walking into a pool hall looking for a game . . .
. . . with either model on my wrist? ...
I'd be more inclined if Patek had chosen Art . . .
. . . Sarnoff's painting for the dial . . . . . . instead. ...
Can you imagine . . .
. . . the conversation? PP salesman: "What can I do for you, sir?" Me: "Hey, bro, just heard you guys have a watch for pool players." PP: "Umm, how many Pateks do you have, sir? Have you bought any from us before?"
That was the one that caught my eye too!
Out of the four, that orange one caught my eye the most too. That orange strap looks nice too!
Great post - both the images and the descriptions! Many thanks for this delightful post! While I am not a clock person, the clocks are truly extraordinary.
Wondering, do you know the prices of these pieces, eg the Surfer. Best, Patekova
Ahh! That I don't know!
The prices are not specifically mentioned in the press release. But for the surfer, I would guess somewhere in the 70,000-120,000 CHF range (I know, that's a big range). I could be off. It's difficult to get them though as your AD has to lobby on your beh...
Thanks to you both for the fantastic report!
Those pool and cigarette watches are the bomb π£ π
Agreed! That bear is really special. And that egret is also very special.
They are just incredibly detailed pieces.

Yeah! That is true π
Does any Nautilus or Aquanaut with any special dial exist? π€
Wonderful!
The Mandala watches are my favorite designs this time around.... Thanks a bunch, cheers, Filip
They'll definitely help you achieve a zen-state!
There's almost a revolver like quality to it. But instead of a six shooter, it'd be twelve shooter.
YES!
That was, unsurprisingly, quite evident to me. Both themes originate in concentric design ethos, and the eternally elusive concept of the 'perfect sphere'. Cheers Patrick, hope to see you in person foreseeably! Filip
Thank you so much - I have been waiting
For this post !!! Is there a price list you can share ?
Lovely post!
Seriously considering putting in for the 5089R-001 (ie, the RG billiards). There is something wonderfully brooding about that one - although it does not take itself too seriously. Still somewhat on the fence, although I have the support of my AD. Itβs a c...
It's very hard to commit!
And also, there are some variations in these things right, due to the artisanal quality. So the one you get may not be exactly similar to the one you see. And sometimes that small difference happens to make a difference to you.
That is a very good point!
Also, while this iteration certainly speaks to me, it is always possible that another model may speak to me more! But, then I think through it, and maybe something that is too on the nose might be a bridge too far! By way of example, this one evokes memor...
That's a great story!
If you told your dealer this story, they would surely mention the significance and background to Patek Philippe - which would increase your chances of being able to procure the watch. But don't wait too long - there's a chance that 20 other people might w...
Yes!
Yes, individuals can buy them. Generally, the process works like this. You find a piece that you like, you go to your Patek Philippe dealer with whom you already have a relationship with. You explain to them which one you want and a little personal backgr...
I've been very fortunate to see many on wrists!
Although I realize I am very fortunate!
