Patek Philippe

And I agree with you, except for the fact that this aesthetic doesn't appeal to me personally.
But I know it's just me! ☺️

Not a big fan of this dial design.  I'm not criticizing the design.  But this design and the Patek 6007 have never been great designs in my eyes...  I've always said regarding the 6007, "if they took the Patek Philippe logo off the dial of the 6007, would people say it's a good looking watch?"  A lot of us are influenced by the design simply because we think anything that comes from the venerable Maison must be good!  We have a member here who has a couple Patek Philippe wallets, and he's convinced they're of unusually good quality.  But they're standard corporate gift products not made by Patek Philippe, made by a contractor.  Some people have inflated opinions when it comes from a brand they're fond of.  And while I do have that a little bit too, I try to be more rational and less emotional.  

What I personally don't respond to at all is the carbon fibre motif. But I know others like it and like the automotive inspiration.
It just doesn't resonate with me.

But all these car companies have turned it into automotive jewelry - and the jewelry and watch companies have capitalized upon it. Not a great concept in my eyes.
Ferrari puts carbon fiber interior trim all over the inside of the car and charges a fortune for it! I especially don't like it when they put it on the steering wheel which makes the steering wheel half carbon fiber and half leather. This changes the grip coefficient on the gloves and it's a small distraction when driving. Unfortunately, if you want engine-speed shift lights on your steering wheel (a helpful feature to have when driving aggressively) it's a pre-requisite to have the half carbon-fiber and half-leather steering wheel.
I don't even like the half wood and half leather steering wheel on my Mercedes. Give me all leather please.
Tesla did it right! They made it all leather. And now it's all vinyl.

And quite successfully, it seems.

A truly fascinating reference. A modern Calatrava masterpiece, if there ever was one.

One just needs to find the required funds! ;-)

It is more sporty and more likely to be worn. I’d probably use different colors, but it’s fun for sure. 

Best, Emmanuel

It does give off a sporty vibe while featuring a truly impressive and classical movement. I think the combination works well.

That said, for a tenth of the price, I like this more subtle version with a far simpler movement . . .

But as often with modern PP execution is really lacking. They had to introduce a lot of refinements for it to make sense. Obviously not a stamped dial, a real embarrassment at this price point. Hands are basic and also simply stamped, more suited to a $500 watch from a micro brand. Case is historically inspired and I do find it interesting. All polished, a bit lazy although maybe appropriate for the entry level piece, certainly not here.

I am not going to comment on the movement finishing, I do hope the repeater sounds amazing.

So, at least you're not alone! 🤩

Best 6007 design, too at the same time.
Never liked the 6007 A, the 6007 G a lot, but this one is the perfect design.

This repeater demonstrates great life style, celebrates lightness and beauty of life.

A dream piece on par with a 5078 R.

I personally feel more attracted to the 5078, but I understand the appeal of this new 7047G.

I find the lugs to be too wide, making the watch look squarish
