Still very much on my mind
Among the watches I constantly think about and dream of seeing in real life one day and perhaps acquiring, the ref. 5105 holds a special place.
Platinum, caliber 9-90, limited to 100 pieces, unique buckle, unique box...
A true dream for me (previous post here).

Thanks for your beautiful pics.
I know and understand your preference. I might share it. But until I've seen this one in person, I can't tell.
I don't care for the 10-Day power reserve of the 5100: winding a watch daily is a pleasure for me and I love the architecture of the 9-90 caliber.
Also I tend to prefer the cleaner dial of the 5105 and the vintage looking case.
But this is based on photos only. In person I might prefer the 5100, I'm completely aware of that.

Rolex would be proud!
Look at all that text on the bottom plate! Lovely watch otherwise.
Ha, yes, absolutely!
Earlier versions of the 9-90 didn't feature so much text: could it be a result (a requirement) of the Geneva Seal?

Yes, but I like less the asymmetrical case of the 524.
Very nice model. Always prefer true vintage over any reissue. But maybe that’s just me
I tend to agree, but true vintage doesn't let you see the 9-90...
And finding nice untouched examples isn't always easy.
This is an absolute beauty Emmanuel...
The case design, the crystal curvature and the movement is gorgeous. To me, the movement itself makes it a grail watch. Thank you for the beautiful close up shots Emmanuel. Legendary watch in my books, as I love patek shaped watches.

Legendary for me to, dear Rishi.
I just have to find a way to see one in real life someday: not easy, I'm confident it will happen.

Hi Emmanuel, this could be THE true
love of your horological life !
How will gondolo feel about that ?🤣
As always your excellent taste shows!
The case and crystal on this reference are worth the price of admission (however extravagant that might be) alone. Perhaps someday one will find its way to you... In the meantime, you can find solace in your 5098P.
