Pardon my honesty....
It's ugly, let's face it. This is what happens when you try to convert an elegant watch (original 5102G/5102P) to an avant garde watch.
Sorry being outspoken,

o that bezel.....
Thanks for the input,a very noble gesture of PP,but I really wonder who will like this bezel.....,well perhaps one can get used to it. The classic celestial is so much nicer. kind regard, Lutz
RE: "but I really wonder who will like this bezel.....,well perhaps one can get used to it
I'd let anyone to twist my arm I actually like the hand applied guilloche pattern and those notches for hour markers are useful due to the nature of the dial, IMO. That watch is just beautiful !!
Well, I 'm deceived
And, as a Celestial Lover, I'm sad. Compared to the 5102 G, or even the new Celestial ( in RG and Platinum ), This one losts a lot of its purity. 1, 1 mm bigger than the " current " Celestials, it is important, and has to be checked in real to cerify if i...

I would love to...

The bezel is 100% ugly!!
that bezel should be on a Rolex NOT PP, why o why did they ruin such a beautiful watch....if they wanted to make it a little more unique, why not just make case a little bigger maybe 2 colour case like the current but yellow gold and platinum rose and pla...
Is Patek trying to cater for Oris and Roelx fans?
By bringing together an Oris date hand (which I lament since (ref6000) and a long forgetten Ref 5080 (Neptune) bezel which appeals to Rolex Thumderbird fans? It provokes my angina, almost. Larry
Awesome!
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but that is lovely I've always loved the Celestial. It was a watch that called my name when I first saw it; but when I found the price I was saddened to know that one could never be mine. I have a big interest in both astronom...
