Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I understand how you feel about the cabochon: not my favorite part either, but not a real problem. On paper, I also think that small and YG would be the way to go. But in real life the two models which blew me away were the 5738P and et 5738/1R: both amaz

It’s wonderful, not doubt about it.

But the two models I really fell in love with are the 5738P and the rose gold bracelet model 5738/1R-001. The impact of these models in person is phenomenal. Best, Emmanuel

The rose gold version I feel in love with is the 5738/1R-001.

Patek Philippe 3580.

After the 3579 I already posted, here is another funky one, the 3580. Credit Antiquorum. This is not the idea we have of a Patek, but it is quite cool. Best, Nicolas

Many thanks Gordon for this extensive report about 2026 novelties

I was lucky to see them in W&W and not only in photo, it helps to have a better idea of the ones you like best... It's not easy to answer as many "novelties" aren't actual novelties but new color variations of existing references of the catalogue. I a
