Update to my Earlier Post Response

I 'm on business in the Orlando area. So I did a web search and found a watch shop that actually had a YG Ref. 5036. I went over to try it on today--and get ground truth on some points. 1. Yes, there is indeed a Ref 5036. 2. Yes, all 5036s come with a metal bracelet. 3. The watch indeed has all the wonderful features as stated, but the wearer cannot fit a PP leather band to this watch and stow the bracelet as I hoped (the case is pre-built to accept two middle links in notches at 12 and 6 o'clock). As such, this superb watch is simply too much to wear as an understated dress watch. Rather, it speaks very loudly--too loudly for most.

most respectfully,

Hi Everyone, I am a newbie and seriously considering the purchase of a 5035. Any words of wisdom out there? Thanks, Ron

I have recently acquired Patek Fever, and despite taking antibiotics, the malady persists. I currently own 13 watches in the IWC, Rolex, Chronoswiss range. I first targeted the Ref. 5053--The Officer's Watch--after reading an outstanding review with absol...

I think that you are referring to the 5056P (basically a 5035 in platinum with slate dial + moon phase and power reserve)

Actually there is both a 5036 and a 5056. The dials are the same. The 5036 appears to be the 3 gold variants--but always on a matching OEM gold bracelet; while the 5056 is indeed the Platinum variant, but on a black leather OEM band. most respectfully, wa...

Happy to recommend this watch.... but as you will be considering a used, pre-owned watch, only buy one with recent Patek Philippe service history (expect supporting documentation & hopefully some remaining warranty) and original PP certificate. Yellow...

a very small number of ref. 5036 watches do have a detachable bracelet (it's a fiddly job :-( and I'm a watch-pro!). I sold my 5036YG after I managed to acquire a rare 5036R with the removable bracelet. So I can do this: Two golden brothers... now sadly p...
