To used the old cliche, similar yet so different!

Calatrava perfection! Each with their majestic charm! While the 5227G is (for me at least) the more rugged and practical younger brother, the 6196P remains my favourite. Not because of the metal, but the simplicity to which heightens its romanticism.

The new 5227G

Patek Philippe released a new white gold variant of its Date & Sweep Seconds Officer's-style Calatrava : ref. 5227G-015 . credit: @chrono24 - photo captured by @nachoconde The first thing that is striking is the similarity in color and style to the pl

Great write up Gordon of a truly very special W&W for Patek. For me one of the very best in recent years, even going back to the Basel shows.

So many novelties to like/love, including the fabulous automaton, the ground breaking new Celestial (both in complications and design), daring and beautiful new dial colors (eg the lacquered dial 5270Ps), 5227G salmon, exceptionally sporty and beautiful b

5227G salmon

Managed to try this at my AD, am surprised they already have it I find the hands and hr indices too intensely black, same as the 6196P salmon.. not very convinced

Given that I have a recently discontinued AD I am currently focused on discontinued references :-)

More seriously, I have always had a soft spot for the celestial complication and the 6105G is very cool but it is also out of reach. The 5610/1P is lovely but in a small collection it would only make sense instead of my blue 5711/1A which has been getting

I like the lugless case of the 6105..

But 47mm is very large even for a lugless watch.. in any case, it’s cool to see a lugless patek case I particularly like the 5810/1G and 5227G Finally a dateless 2 hand nautilus and it’s nice that they reworked the 5227 case to thicken the bezel.. the pre

For me personally, the following three stand out:

1. 6105G-001: It dares to present a design they never did before. The Richard Mille for intellectuals, if you will... 2. 5810/1G-001: The 41mm size and the 240 microrotor movement makes this very compelling to me and I would love to own one (if that happe

I fully agree

Where do you stand on the 5196G? Is it worthy of its historical lineage? The 5196g is the Patek I like. Discreet elegance that you only glimpse under the sleeve. A path that modern Patek has largely lost. I don't like the 6119. The mouvement should be big

Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of your

5227G. I also think this watch deserves much more credit. But, at the same time, I would like the date disc to match the dial (like in the black dial variant) and I find the central rotor a little less exciting than the micro rotor Chopard proposes in its
