Very nice overview
Thanks Oliver for sharing this. The pictures are great and help very much to see their beauty comapred to "official" pics.
It was usefull to have older models too, especially the 5711 ...

Thanks again

PP – novelties of 2012 and more ... exhibition ...
On Tuesday I had the pleasure to attend a dinner, because of the current Patek Philippe exhibition at jeweler Hansen in Hamburg. There have been collectors, customers, PuristS, great hosts … and of course almost all novelties from 2012. It is a rare possi...
Hello again :-)
Great post, Oliver! Came here to post my pics of the 5235, but yours are much better. It was a great evening in Hamburg and the exhibition at Hansen is absolutely worth a trip to Hamburg (the guest with the longest journey came from Bangkok !!!! It was a ...
The 5235
As I ordered this watch more than a year ago, I could not resist to post this: They said it would arrive by the end of this year. I can only hope Best regards Georg...
Oliver, thanks for a great post. I too am waiting for the 5235 .......
Possibly by the begining of 2013 was what I have been told, but its along way to the antipodes so possibly sooner for you people closer to the elf factory in Geneva... Looks like another winner for PP Julian
Julian ...
I am not sure if it helps when someone lives closer to the PP headquarter, unfortunately Thanks! Oliver
Lovely post Oliver..........
Thank you for taking the time to post the photos. I am yet to see or feel any of the new releases. The Regulator, I need to see in the flesh. Though I suspect it may be a while before that happens
My pleasure ...
and be warned to see the Regulator in the metal could be addictive Oliver
It is always good to meet PuristS at PuristS ...
and even more interesting to meet them in the real world. Regulator - it looks a tad big on my wrist, only Hope you will get yours soon. Oliver
Very nice overview

The 5940J is timeless....
I will be visiting Hamburg in mid Aug and will certainly pay them a visit. Best Sam
Sam, I agree with you ...
the 5940J is a classic. Regarding your visit, you will see there is lots of passion for the brand and not only the brand ... Oliver
A fun event Oliver.
Nothing like being there and sampling all the goodies. Thanks for sharing it with us. Best Fernando
Really good post Oliver
Love the new buckle, what an amazing design! It's the first thing I noticed. The Nautilus series is always great to see, although I can't get used to the white dials. GEO
Geo, the new buckle ...
is indeed gorgeous and I think it will look even better when it is worn. "White" - it looks warmer in the metal, but the contrast to the dark indexes does not help in that case. Thanks a lot! Oliver
I don't know what made me droll more...
The 5940J or the Patanegra bacon. LOL! Thanks for the report and pictures. Marcelo
Thanks a lot for the pictures Oliver.
And for the wrist-shots. I would call this collection: "regular". But maybe I have to see it again to appreciate it. Fx
"Regular" ...
isn´t it what most people expect from PP?! There is no reason to compete with the craziest, fanciest ... watch in town, is it? When it comes to "regular" PP customers, they even "fail" to understand/get 5205, 5235 ... ;-) Just a thought, my dear FX. Olive...
"5205 looks quite tasty"
I agree, even when I think the PP font is slightly too big (for my taste). The case and especially the lugs are very nice ... :-) Thanks! Oliver
Thanks Oliver for your report.
The 5940 is great, a lot of charm and elegance with the perfect size imho, beautiful watch. in a more modern style, Tthe 5205 is also very nice, the case tratment and the dial are great. Francois
Francois ...
I am not surprised that you like both watches, as well :-) Thanks! Oliver
Incredible shots!
Thank you for sharing. Must have been a wonderful time. Thanks again!
Tim, indeed it is outstanding ...
and somehow underrated at the same time ... ;-) Thanks, my friend! Oliver
5960 for me, and preferably in Platinum. ;)
This watch is growing more and more on me... The monocounter chrono is as original as it is cool. You had great time;, obviously. Thanks for the nice report. Best, Nicolas.
Nicolas, the monocounter is ...
unique and even when the readability is not perfect, it looks cool - for sure. My personal favorite would be the version inside the Nautilus ..., but that is another story :-) Thanks! Oliver
Yes, the Nautilus Chrono well... 5980 had a big avantage.
It doesn't have the annual calendar of the 5960... But the ruthenium dial of the 5960 is so captivating that I could live with this small imperfection. ;) Best, Oliver. Nicolas.
