Horological Meandering

I have recently become mesmerized by Patek 5070P, love the blue dial combined with the blue croco strap. BIG congrats to those who have the privilege to own one.
No matter how much I love it, constraint remains. I can't afford one at all so I am looking for a similar style. It doesn't need to be a chrono but I am focusing more on the similarity of the dial's color. I have seen some but I may have missed a lot so please give me your recommendation. Prefer those which are accessible to most watch lovers but need not be the cheapest category. Thanks in advance!

These are VERY blue.

A new version of the Chopard Tech Twist with a blue dial has been mentioned at the Chopard forum. Have a look at that. To me it looked great.

Best Regards

The new IWC Portuguese laureus version also comes to mind. 

Thanks for the pics!!!

And you're right it's SS...I was confused with the Senator perpetual calendar which is in Plat. Thank you.

... any new variants.

Anyways, thank you!

. . . in steel, and difference between the new version and the prior versions* lies in the extension of color treatment to the frames surrounding the moon phase and Panodate apertures . . .

. . . cordially, Art. * To the best of my knowledge, there were two distinct prior versions (excluding the limited editions for the Thai market) that differed in the graining of the dial.

... et I am undecided whether I prefer the earlier version or that one.

Portuguese Laureus edition or this gorgeous GO Pano moonphase. What's the size? Is it 40mm? Or 39mm? Also, may I know the MSRP on this one... Unfortunately, I can't find any GO dealer in my country.

. . . G O specifies 39.4 mm, to be precise. Oh, and you'll get a private e-mail re list price . . . cordially, Art

Are you the lucky owner of that watch, Andrew?!    Love it!  I think blue-dialed watches are lovely, particularly the blue gold Svend Andersen pieces.

Thanks for compiling these pictures for us!

Hi Daos,

 

Yes very cute. Not mine, but there are several owners amongst us. Do a search for “bunny sutra” and have a read about the ‘complication’ this watch possesses.

. . . the blue PML is one of my favorites, but I have to admit that for sheer beauty, the blue gold Andersens are peerless . . . cordially, Art

The dial has a stunning blue colour. The watch is even more attractive now since it has a 42 mm case, previously it was 36 mm which I found very small though I loved the dial and owned the watch with both the white, green and blue enamel dials.

Beautiful watch and I think its limited edition and new.

Love it.

Are they still around? The Lemans chrono looks good! Also, I know most of the blue Langes but they are on the high side ;-p

Thanks for the pics...

 

but I think with a little bit of research it should be possible to find them.

I would try it at the BP Boutique in Munich or NY ...
