Thanks for the pictures.

Personally, I would be very happy with the 5270 and I much prefer it over a Nautilus on a strap. At least there are two holes so that the dial is balanced. I think perpetual dials look worse where there is just one hole for the leap year indicator, like o

Tried 2 new launches yesterday

The nautilus is just too thin for my taste.. The grey on the 5270 was very nice but the 2 portholes become too jarring

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

Hi All, After seeing 2026 novelties in the metal, my take on the general direction of Patek is that

5102 Celestial

Just for reference,my wrist measurement is 17- & from my prospective the size of the watch is not overpowering & the size is probably necessary considering what is around the base movement to make it work & at the same time having not to cramp the view of

Aesthetically, the 5102 appeals to me very much too,
