Thanks so much!
It feels sublime on the wrist—wears smaller than a 42 should, IMO, and the bracelet is quite comfortable. I was expecting the bracelet to be the low point of the watch as Rolex tends to be considered the “king” in that regard but I actually find the Patek bracelet far more conforming to the curves of my wrist. The pushers are nice IMO, I tend to prefer that shape versus the more vintage cylindrical pushers—it works better with this style which is a bit “sporty.”
Welcoming my first Patek
I recently got this 5905A with a Tiffany stamp, my first Patek. Coming from a collection of a few steel Rolexes, I am extremely impressed with the step up in quality between the two brands. Everything feels much smoother and refined—even the edges of the ...
On behalf of our forum, a warm welcome to you YZ !
5905 steel with Tiffany stamp is a wonderful entry into the world of Patek ! How does it feel on the wrist and how do you like the pushers ? Please write a review after wearing it for a while.
Thanks so much!

Rolex is not
Even in the same zip code as far as craftsmanship. You’ve got a great watch there! Enjoy it and welcome to the holy trinity.
This may be the best first Patek acquisition.
5905 by itself is an amazing watch. Add Tiffany stamp it’s 🔥🔥🔥. Congratulations 🍾 and wear it in the best of health!
Congratulations YZ
if you don’t mind can you share your wearing experience vs say a Milgauss/ Sub. Does the 2mm extra dimension feel noticeably larger? Many thanks in advance.
It definitely doesn’t feel bigger
I’ll send some side-by-sides later, but the 5905 has very scalloped lugs such that it wears far smaller than a 42mm should.. the Rolexes are extremely chunky in terms of the lug width so they wear no smaller than this 5905 does. I’d even go so far as to s...
Thanks for sharing
this visual comparison 🙏 very much like a speedy which also wears smaller than dimensions imply.
Congratulations!
Very nice one and I like the bracelet very much. Especially in the summer months.
Thanks!
Absolutely—I am having a bit of trouble dialing in the perfect bracelet fit, but otherwise loving the bracelet.
I seem to always have that problem too.
I wonder if they make a half link? I have half links for many of my watches.
Congratulations! What a great start to your PP collecting journey. Do you think you will try it on a strap at some point?
The green dial with an annual calendar complication is beautiful.
