To be honest, I often feel the same
I love the brand, but at the same time, I feel like today's Patek is not yesterday's Patek - and I care significantly less for today's Patek and the direction it is going.
For a second, let's leave behind the difficulty of getting one - I have less of a problem than most but I certainly cannot get the majority of models.
But more significantly, I feel that Patek is more and more often taking shortcuts, or at least the easy way out - despite the ever-increasing prices. Don't get me wrong, Patek's finishing is very nice, especially for something that is produced at scale. However, flipping over a watch with the Caliber 26-330 SC (i.e., the 324) is pretty darn underwhelming when you are approaching or exceeding six figures. This is particularly so given the age of the movement, its smaller size relative to case diameters, the power reserve, etc. There is no value in watches... but I don't know, I'm just not feeling the emotional connection, to be frank.
News Flash: Patek Philippe World Time Chronograph in steel, Ref 5935A.
Unique dial.
I don’t have a PP in my collection anymore but since
Where are the 2mm
Wow a steel, salmon WT
I never liked this reference because of the tiny minute subdual.
Hi Nico, the salmon dial with checkered pattern is well matched with a light tan strap 👍 Great combo !
Really dislike the 5930...
The Sub Dial is dedicated to the chrono minutes, my friend. You are right on the too small sub dial, though and on the fact that I will never trade the 5110 for this one.
Oh! Right! I forgot about that's the minute counter! Thank you for your reminder!
5930 looks weird on my wrist
Spectacular!
As I mentioned before I lately began to like this reference
Sorry,but in the dial lay-out I see the signs of a (too) small movement within a (too) large case.
To be honest, I often feel the same
I have tried it this week
