Well, I discussed 1 or 2 years ago about YG watches
and thought some combinations were looking quite good indeed.
This being said, I think that since the watch industry doesn't communicate to push it on the front scene, it will remain behind the other materials.
However, some references look very nice indeed in YG (the 5975J for instance lately).
Cheers, Mark
A review of the Patek Philippe 5153G, before the RG version arrives this year.
Hello Gentlemen, I find the Patek Philippe 5153G and its black dial beautiful. After the already available Yellow and two White Gold versions (white or black dial), the Rose Gold model will arrive in our Patek Philippe retailers very soon. Let's prepare i...
Great post on a rarely mentioned reference
Having said that this is not speaking to me. Reminds me too much of a memovox, and I love the memovox. Also find the logo a bit large and overly present on the dial of what would be expected to be a discrete watch… the date window somehow does not work fo...
This is quite a different offer
and you perfectly mentionned all the details that are different from the usual Calatravas. It is indeed a good thing that way to widen the offer. Cheers, Mark
Thank you Mark for your post !! The 5153 (regardless of the metal) is ...
an excellent alternative to other Calatrava models. I very much admire the design of this simple and yet very appealing dial. The triangular hour markers IMO add much character and the sun ray pattern in the middle accentuates the overall design. Below ar...
This limited edition is gorgeous...
Thanks for sharing and for your kind comments Gordon :) You right to mention that in any metal it has something attractive. Cheers, Mark
This starts to be funny!
Hi Mark, My thoughts about the black dial version are so similar to yours that I: - ordered the watch a couple of weeks ago - will pay it next week - will pick it up on the 2nd half of May. As you can see from my actions, I like this watch a lot! Best, Ka...
I agree that there are coincidences here...
While I am not a frequent poster and a poor photographer (which probably contributes to my infrequent posts) I am an avid reader of posts here and have grown to somewhat learn the tastes of the many informed participants. The coincidence is that in additi...
That's indeed a nice coincidence
and going for this rarer Calatrava is a sign of someone exploring Patek's collection in a very deep way. You know, many of us are not really good at taking pictures but don't hesitate to share them anyway, it's always a pleasure to see them :) Cheers, War...
Speaking of coincidences
The only two Pateks I own are the 5575G and the 5153G-010 ie the one with the white dial. Sublime! And like you, I too am not talented enough to take photos to post them on here especially after having seen some quite astonishingly high quality photos on ...
The white dial looks fantastic too
Congratualtions Sham and we'd love to see some pictures as they are often better looking than we may think of our own shots ;) CHeers, Mark
These are indeed good sales points...
Well I wouldn't have guess for this one after the 5711 or the 5550, so congratulations! This is really an appelaing watch and this means we're going to have many more pictures :) Cheers Kari, Mark
I think 5153G fits with
5711, 5550P and others quite well. It also fits with the watch I'm getting from Tiffany in July. It also fits with the last two I'm considering for this year. But how? It took some time but I have learned to buy only one kind of Patek Philippe: I buy only...
That's the perfect line of conduct in a way of never being disappointed
And I do the same. This way, when a watch is "following" you during a long period, it means that this might be the one to care about. Cheers, Mark
I love this in rose gold
The dial design and hunter back is really nice ! Thanks for the review Mark. Cheers Robin
What I also like
is the reasonable size: not too big, not too slim. A watch looking great in all wrists. I will try the R version in some weeks. I hope I do not like it on my wrist... Best, Kari
I nearly like them all
I don't know why but it looks very welll finished and I like the look of this watch and what it brings from the past shapes. Thanks Robin! Cheers, Mark
True review of cool 5153G
Hi all, Thanks to Mark for quick review of 5153G which I seldom come across. After it was launched in 2011 I resisted for over one year but went for it in end of 2012. In black dial with sunrays it looks cool in actual life than in pictures. If I get bore...
That's nice!
and it looks very well proportionate on your wrist. Your pictures are very nice and I'm sure Purists who are looking for information about this watch will appreciate them. Congratulations, I think it is a very good choice. Cheers Gautam, Mark
Indeed Bob
The sun rays are absolutely gorgeous.... I saw the 2015 new rose gold version as well and it is very nice too, with a very very different look from yours. I hope you enjoy it a lot! Cheers, Mark
