One of my favorites yet to experience

Sometimes I feel that it is only a matter of time before I hunt this one seriously. I think if one comes along at the right time and price, I will not hesitate. All three version os the Toledo are lovely, but the gray dial of the platinum kills me. The photo you posted is washed out and you cannot see the deep shade of gray in contrast with the bright platinum case. This is not a small watch, and is best for a larger flat shaped wrist, but it maintains the proportions of the original cioccolatone from the 1950s. The details of the dial are fascinating and the case is sexy as hell. I have never found a moonphase watch that I have liked well enough to add to my collection, but the Toledo is a top candidate. Yes, this one is for me...someday, I hope. Thank yo for the reminder about this beautiful complete calendar.
Cheers,
respo

The modern evocation of the Cioccolatone, an original watch with a lot of charm. And quite nice, with this platinum case, slate grey dial combination! Credit picture: Phillips. What do you think? Best, Nicolas ...

Great iconic model, but

very heavy on the wrist and flat case-back=not comfortable on all wrists. Then WG feels a better choice for most VC collectors, even if non limited to 100ex as Pt one. Reminds me the Datograph 1st gen in Pt versus Dufourgraph comparison. Just my 0.2 cents...

True, I tried it several times and was thinking / feeling the same. [nt]

Pt vs WG

I hear what you’re saying and I hear and read it more often that people mention that platinum feels heavy on the wrist. In absolute numbers a pt version will be heavier than a gold one due to the higher density of the metal. But I own several platinum wat...

In total agreement. Platinum could be felt as too heavy only with huge cases. [nt]

Would love to see some live shots of this

Not just in a white photobox.

I would love to have the opportunity to take pictures of that one, too. But I can tell you from memory that, in thr real life, it is of course much nicer. [nt]

Love the dial

However, the platinum would break my wrist My personal favorite is the yellow gold model.

I didn't feel a huge difference in weight between gold and platinum for that watch, though... [nt]

No message body

I love the distinctive design of the case and the dial. Transports you back in time, in a very good way! Sadly I never had the chance to see one in real life. And with this case, it really is very hard for me to imagine how it looks on the wrist. I hope t...

Not too big, comfortable, with a nice presence. Yes, to be tried! [nt]

Indeed iconic

By: Jurry : November 20th, 2019-23:33

This is an exceptional nice watch, has tradition and legacy all written over it. But funny enough, the first thought that came to mind when I just saw a glimpse of the photo was: “Hermès?”

Tsssssss. I rather have in mind the original " Cioccolatone "! [nt]

By: amanico : November 20th, 2019-23:45

Agreed

By: Jurry : November 21st, 2019-00:11

Its just that in a quick glance the case reminded me of Hermès
