The 'big watch' fad has gone on far too long now...
...for it not to be lazy. Companies like PP are making money hand over fist, but keep putting old (small) movements in huge (new) cases. If these companies were serious, they would be developing movements to fit the cases. Not quite as bad as putting a round movement in a rectangular case, but close...
Some pictures of the Patek Philippe 5196P Tiffany.
Credit pictures: A Collected Man. Not only the pictures are good, but he had the good idea to remove the case back to show the movement, the Cal 215, which is nice, despite its modest size. Which explains the centered small seconds... Still I find this re...
If we set aside the crazy prices on Tiffany patek sports
I like the tiffany and co stamped above 6 oclock for 5711, I find that it balances the emptiness of the bottom dial.
Here you go
Pardon the bad photo, hard to get 3 watches in one shot. But case in point, on the 5711 and 5170, the tiffany stamps make the dial more balanced. But in my opinion, the tiffany stamp on the 5164 makes it abit too crowded on top. Best, masy ...
39 mm ;-)
it would be sad as I see a gap if you look for a 36/37 mm manually wound no-date dress watch - hardly a few offers ! Best, Mahesh.,
Interesting....the newer Co-sign signature is in the small seconds circle....
wonder if that qualifies like the Rolex LGF untold story đŹ I also like this 5196P....let me go hunt it fast before the rumored discontinuation đ Rgds Raymond
If rumor is true....the gentleman should hold it for a while? It's only few months to BaselWorld 2019...
I agree this is an absolute beautiful and elegant watch, congrats to him or you ?
Nice
Nice piece thanks for the shot. I like the Geneva seal on this one too. How does it feel to wind this 215 movement vs a 5070 Lemania for example? Best.
Beautiful watch...a shame that...
...the movement is so out of place. If PP continues to make manual wind watches in todayâs larger size cases, they might want to invest some dollars in a larger movement. I suppose one could say the same for the 240 auto as well.
I considered this one
In the end I couldnât get over the fact how mismatched the movement is with the case, just screams lazy to me. Same with American 1921 with Vacheron - the new smaller model holds the same movement which fills the case beautifully.

Well now I am considering it again ha ha
Just something about two-tone and Breguet numerals
Hi Nicolas , the 5196P is a...
lovely reference and the heft feels great on the wrist. If it does not have the seconds dial, it would be perfect IMO
