Patek Philippe

So the wait is over and all the 2012 novelties are revealed. Patek Philippe plays a very conservative card this year, but offers several very appealing new models. I'll come back later and in greater depth to the Patek Philippe novelty of the year, the 52...

It is much appreciated here. The 5940 in a white metal would be a knock out. The case and layout exude elegance. I am very intrigued. Interesting trend towards the bracelets, which are nice but not my cup of tea. Awesome pictures of the celestial. Best,

I just can't help but falling in love with that 6102P! Only matter is, why oh why MUST a rotor, no matter how micro, exists! Damn! A fine lineup this year! Cheers Stephen

Must beone chore. I think a winder is in order.I don't like the date. To me ths watch is like aLange Emil 1815 moon. Adoring thecelestial is heaven. Plus price is sure to be a killer. But platinum.... Well Stephen thisis your song. Love is a many splendor... 

nt

Should be an opera! But alas, that damn rotor! I agree, an absolute beauty, You should see a real life photo! Stephen

Thanks for posting!

I NEED IT! Absolutely stunning piece..

Love to see 5123J Looks simply beautiful

nt

I think the 5204- mmmeeeh- not my cup of tea- possibly better if seen on the wrsit would love to see the 5235 IRL 5940- they just went to the back catalogue- no imagination-love the dial though Julian

nt

I appreciated the informative and enthusiastic descriptions as much as the "real world" photos that give a great sense of what these new pieces are really like. Some beauties in there! Will look forward to your more detailed writeups when you return to so...

The new collection made me in a way very happy: nothing to dream about. The real novelties were quite limited; 5204 being something really new. The rest of the novelties are more or less just new versions of old watches. Anyhow, I do not complain. Patek i... 

Hi, The 5123R is a watch that needs to be tried on (well all need I know, but specially this one). Regarding the 80th anniversary, I share your opinion. But the year is not over and Patek Philippe generally doesn't celebrate at Basel. I don't know if they... 

Well, except the Rattrapante  and the Celestial which are the two true novelties, the others are more evolutions, did I get it right? The Rattrapante PC seems to be a superb watch, wih correct dimensions. The only thing I don't like, the two port hole... 

Hi, You're not a mere mortal Vlad! Everything is always possible..... I was sure you'd like the Celestial. Wait until you see it!!! Thank you my friend. Dje

Thank you! Patel is playing to their strengths, no big surprises. The new annual calendar dials look refreshing; can't wait to see them. Perhaps they'll be available even on strap?

nt

Waiting for this annual report every year!!!!

Many thanks first for this great report and the stunning pictures. The 5204's quality and technical aspects are certainly beyond any doubt. The only aspect to be discussed is the design: it is a very bold as quite modern looking grand comp. comming from P...

You saved me the expense of a trip to Basel 2012... and after your photo essay, I will put the money towards a 5235..! MW

nt

Thanks for the drool inducing pictures...

the 5204 is a super watch but we expected this piece. One day they had to replace the 5004. In general it's not a great year. nice watches but other dials or other colored gold isn't a big revelation. And i think that can be said about almost every brand ... 

Hi, There are more temptations than I need this year again! From Patek Philippe, JLC or GP I could easily ruin myself! Best Dje

There is a long list of things to like about the new offerings. As a fan of yellow/pink gold, I like all the new models in colored gold cases, with my favorites being the 5207 with black dial, the 5940 cushion case perpetual, and the 5960 RG black dial. I... 

nt

I agree with you, the blue dialed Nautilus is the one.

nt

The dilemma now is whether to get the 5726 1/a in white or grey and what to sell to help fund it! 5726 a, 5980, 3700/11j, 5712 1/a???

nt

Thanks for the report.

nt

Thanks Dje for sharing. Like you, I still love the 5711/1a in blue dial. Of the 2012 novelties, my winner is the 5960r in black dial -- looks very elegant, and beside I always prefer an automatic. Combining it with a chrono feature and an AC complication ... 

nt

I'm so still wanting a 5960...

Just what I have been waiting for My first thoughts? The R/G 5960 with black dial looks stunning. Like you, I would, if the option EVER arose ha, ha, still go with the 5207P And the lighter coloured dial on the Nautilus range, just do not excite me. Thoug... 

A superb report and lovely pics, But goodness, I'd have expected far more from Patek. None of these watches are to my taste, specially the new perpetual, on which the dial and hands simply don't do it for me. Never thought I'd see a PP dress watch with lu...

Yesterday the director of a european country showed me the all watches. I was disappointed that it is not possible to change 5726 bracelet, I got it with leather strap. He will talk with them but I'm pretty sure they won't change their decision... 5204 is...

A great overall view of the novelties, Patek has a very large offer now for the ladies (I loved the blue chronograph) and with metal bracelet. All that follows are my personnal impressions looking through the showcase windows (which explains the bad photo...

I like your pic and comments too. It is almost like you make my life meaningful after seeing all these beautiful pieces. Thanks a lot.

nt

i very much like the 5204 and the celestial. My source tells me the horizontal lines on the new 5711 dial are a little bigger than the previous version, could be wrong on that but worth checking out for future reference. keep up the good work my friend. r...

Thanks so much for sharing - best report, really fantastic !!!! As a huge Nautilus Fan i can't wait to see the white dials, but i am so deep in love with my dark blue 5711, not sure, if i need them !! Would be great to get more information from PP regardi... 

nt

Thanks so much, Jérome, for this report and your beautiful pictures... I won't comment the great stars (for example the Celestian) but have a few questions on much more "modest" watches. Are the new 5396 color versions only available on golden bracelet ? ...
