Thank you for being so understanding and for sharing your wonderful duo!

The 5110 and 5130 are both wonderful references in their own right. For the reasons I have tried to explain above, they do not evoke in me that obscure but essential feeling I’m looking for, but I know that this is purely personal and that it does not det

Thank you so much, dear Gordon,

for sharing the very interesting article full of information. Of course, having Anita Porchet's signature is a major bonus and almost a "must-have". Concerining the 5531, I happen to like the maps more than the landscapes: my personal favorite would be th

Absolutely, Gordon!

My intent was only to clarify the personal reasons why I don’t feel fully compelled by the 5110 even though I think it’s a great watch in and by itself. And I fully agree with you concerning the “scissors” hands of the 5130! Best, Emmanuel

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I have contemplated a 5110 vs 5130 vs 5230 on multiple occasions. They each have their own unique charm and appeal. If I could combine elements of all 3, it would be ideal. But obviously I can’t so my indecision, coupled with the fact that I don’t have a

Why?

Why doesn't this Patek Philippe reference 5110 , which on paper has everything I love , fully appeal to me ? Before trying it on, I was convinced I would love it and that it would become one of my must-haves . Yet, when I tried it on, whether in rose gold

Thank you so much, Gordon, for this extensive report.

I didn’t examine closely all the new releases yet, but so far the Crow & Fox is my absolute favorite. I also consider the new Celestial to be a major release. And I think the small Ellipse could appeal to me quite a bit. The World Time Minute Repeater

Once again, our feelings strongly converge:

this reference was instantly my favorite among the new releases, and I tried to relate it to its source of inspiration in this presentation post: Span Style Color Gray Patek Philippe Span Enchanting Watch Louis Cottier's creativity is admirable and extend

Maps of the World

Among the new pieces in Patek Philippe 's Rare Handcrafts collection, two share a close common point : a map of the world combining engraving and enamel . A/ CALATRAVA MINUTE REPEATER AND WORLD TIME REF. 5531G-010 “PLANISPHERE” This reference is a limited

Yes, I agree: even judging by Gilbert Albert's own standards, it's far from his most successful creation.

But that's not the point: the point is Louis Cottier's creativity, which, as the recent 5249R-001 Crow and Fox also reminds us, extended well beyond the World Time complication to which he is generally reduced. And then, when you think about it: a manufac
