Thanks Jerome !

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 photos)

I think that for complications they did a good job; with some marvellous piece, for the simple watch I am not so impressed.

I didn't take photo of the new Calatrava but if the case take some nice elements of vintage references, the caliber is really too small here and the small second is very high at 6 , I didn't take pictures of it, as I didn't take the white Nautilus.
The white dial is not bad  actually but the black details didn't appeal to me. I like the white detail on the 6000G, but here the black indexes and hands made the Nautilus look cheap. Maybe some of you will like it; but I really dislike it especially compared to the original blue one.

The 5207, the new version in pink gold with black dial is a striking beauty; but it lacks the subtle class of the marvellous platinum version. The burnt orange dial is so beautiful; subtle and classy (maybe the most beautiful Patek on the line for my taste). Still a fantastic dream watch in this rose gold.


The 6102, Celestial, look bigger and thicker than the previous one; it is a marvellous watch with a case a bit in the idea of the 5070. I love the 5070; but the original Celestial had the marvellous engraved sides which made it look precious; combined with its thin case it was a Patek like no other. Here it is not so personnal, and I miss it, so I disagree zith wou on this one Jerome , but it remains a beautiful watch with a dial to dive in.

 
The 5204 is on the contrary much much better than the 5004, I know 5004 is a legend and a grail for a some Patek lovers but it is so thick for a small watch that it looks bad imho, combined with this awful crown it was one the Patek I loved the less. It has a strong personnality but here I hated it.
The 5204 is perfect, the design is finally balanced, less thick perfectly balanced, a classic design; a crown which look nice.
The black touch I dislike on the Nautilus fits here better and gives personnality to the watch, a marvellous cgrande complication imho.
Classic, balanced; legible but with personnal details; a beautiful Patek imho


But my prefered novelty by far is the 5940 perpetual Calendar; what a fantastic watch !
The case design of the 5950, very pure; a lot of personnality, very vintage in the idea, not too big or common, just beautiful; the dial with Breguet numeral combined with the yellow gold fits perfectly.
I loved it. One the best watch of the fair (with an independant rectangular watch which gave me a fantastic shock)
