Patek Philippe

Thank you for so politely expressing your opinion!

I'm okay with the font of the numbers on this piece. But the whole dial just looks off putting to me. It's not beautiful. And the date isn't beautiful neither. The 6000G - another sporty automotive inspired piece - had a slightly similar font. I liked that watch - even though I'll admit - it was overly busy with all those date numbers written on the dial. Probably not beautiful in many people's eyes. But oddly, I liked that 6000G, I found it quirky. And almost nobody liked the 6000G, some said it was a weird looking watch, and said I was weird to consider one. I don't fault their opinion, I can certainly see where they're coming from. So I guess different pieces may strike different people's fancy. I ended up getting a different Patek Philippe as my first watch and never owned the 6000G. But that's okay. I'm happy with my other, probably weird, probably not always liked, asymmetrical Patek Philippe.

Inspired/Poisoned ☠️ by CBB’s post on 6007G, I had to go

see it in the metal ! Fortunately an AD has one for me to try. Although similar to 6007A, the differences are striking and these changes create a dynamics and fun dial. I was enamored with it my wrist ! 😃 Although I did not see the other two colors, I wou...

Did you pull the trigger, Gordon? ;)

no trigger to be pulled It was a display piece only :-(

Not my cup of tea, but it looks great on your wrist!

Sometimes I feel that this watch only gets recognized because it has a famous name on the dial - if it didn't have a famous name on the dial, would we still like it as much? But then again, it's perfectly okay that I don't like every single watch. And it'...

+1 I honestly wondered the same thing that you articulate so well…

there is nothing ground breaking about this release, and I actually don’t like the font of the numbers. I found myself comparing it to certain Omega Speedmasters, and those are easily more impressive in many respects, IMHO…but, they aren’t PP. Still, it’s...

Me too prefer both the 6000G black dial and the 6006G over the 6007G…. Personally the date window and the larger size is what I like less… but I think the 6007A looks quite appealing but mostly as it is in steel and the color choice is the main draw. Grea...

That's right, different flavors and derivatives is usually a good thing, as long as it's not overboard.

Well said Keks!

Low key

This is certainly one of the most low key Patek… I’m not sure if it is even recognized. Maybe a “safe” watch to wear in the streets again! Fun and colorful!!
