Patek Philippe

In 1989 , Patek Philippe celebrated its 150th anniversary with 8, or should I say 9, timepieces. Concerning the first 8 , the official brochure stated: “For our 150th anniversary we have created eight new models to demonstrate our skills, standards and va...  

Glad to say there is nothing here that really tempted me. 😅 It is always dangerous to click on your posts. Still... many thanks for compiling this, Emmanuel.

I'm glad there was nothing tempting this time! 😇😅 I personally like the 3969 (jump hour) and 3979 quite a bit. Sourcing a 3969P could be wonderful... Best, Emmanuel

If you prefer Breguet numerals (I don't): see below. Just a detail that intrigues me: this model has a calendar pusher at 6 o'clock and, even though the example below was made in 2001 (i.e. after 1999) it has no diamond between the lugs, just like the exa...  

The references are very good ! The ladies’ pieces are most lovely ! Have seen the jumping hour previously and is a small marvel !

Thank you, Gordon. Best, Emmanuel

That Jumping Hour piece is simply gorgeous. Posts like these take a LOT of time and effort to create. I just wanted to let you know that it is truly appreciated. Thank you Emmanuel! 🍻

I can't tell you how grateful I am that you acknowledge the time spent building such a post. And I'm glad you enjoyed it! Best regards, Emmanuel

3979P for me please 😊🤞

Yes, what a watch indeed, the 3979P (with white dial & Roman numerals for me). Best, Emmanuel

…if I had to choose one only I would not hesitate one second, 3974 in any color 😍😍😍

But a bit overwhelming for me. The jump hour 3969 feels less "superhuman". Or the 3979... I hope you're having a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

but I find the 3974 totally amazing and relatively discrete at the same time. Only a Purist would recognize such an important piece while a normal watch fan would think it’s a “simple” 3940 😉 (and you know my love for 3940 too). Hagwe too my friend ... 

Best, Emmanuel

I have to say I'd take the 3979HP-001 - in part because it is a nice tribute to Breguet style language but also because it's a minute repeater and I don't have (ergo, need) one of them and I'm sure it sounds great.

the regular Roman numerals dial. The less sophistication or refinement the better for me here. Best, Emmanuel

...despite zero thought given to the window.

being positioned at 12 o’clock, I wonder if the hour hand isn’t hiding the jump of the hour disc a little. I know that for the LUC Quattro Spirit 25, KF Scheufele specifically requested that the hour window be placed at 6 o'clock for this reason. Best, Em...
