Question ....

 

just to say, nice watches.


Question : is your patek 2526 with a factory replace dial or is it an original enamel dial ?
sorry, just couldn't tell from the pictures, so I'm merely asking.  

Happy 2013

Greetings to all! I haven't posted for quite a while, but continue to keep track of the happenings on this great site. I thought I'd use some holiday free time to share my two aquisitions for 2012. I have to admit I'm getting somewhat fatigued by the ince...  

Wow. A Calatrava without date has an impressive simplicity and beauty.

Love the shape of the PP logo, on the crown of the vintage. 2 beauties, indeed. Best, and Happy NY. Nicolas

What a beautiful pair...........

They go together like cheese & biscuits. Congratulations, simple by design, but gorgeous in every aspect. Regards Tony

Both beautiful watches but I think the rose gold looks..

nicer and your right about the price increases it is making people look at older used watches and thats with rolex as well as patek.

Very very nice indeed !

You have picked up my 2 favourites Calatravas. I love the rounded crown guard of the 5127, very similar to the one of the 5125. Also the rose gold is for sure a good choice (although I also love the platinum version with black dial as a very elegant dress... 

Superb Calatravas!

Pure elegance! Love both of them. Congrats on such a great pair you have there. Cheers, robin

Thanks, guys!

I appreciate the kind words. To address some questions/comments: The vintage watch is a in yellow gold from 1958. Of course, the main attractions of the 2526 are that it contains Patek's first automatic winding movement (caliber 12-600AT) and, perhaps ev... 

Of course you are right Steve...

...the 5127 does not exist in Pt but only WG (in addition ot RG and YG of course). Yes indeed I was talking about the 5107 which is has a similar case with rounded crown guards but a flat bezel (probably not easy to keep unscratched) which does exist in 4...

But I agree, it doesn't come across very well in the pictures! Steve

love the 5127

 
By: watch-er : January 3rd, 2013-05:57
has more style to me than the older reference. I have the 5127G.

incomparable....

2526 is such an icon and classic, 5127 is no where near the Calatrava King in term of style and charm :-) If one is to compare these two watches, I think there's totally zero comparison. Both are beautiful but they are no where near the same class imho. F... 

Really lovely

I recently let go of a 3919J myself (for a PC) but I appreciate its simplicity and elegance. It was my first PP!
