I like your enthusiasm, Count!

I personally feel more attracted to the 5078, but I understand the appeal of this new 7047G. And because of the absence of a date window, it is indeed a wonderful variant of the 6007 design. Best, Emmanuel

The best repeater since 5078: it is a triumph.

Best 6007 design, too at the same time. Never liked the 6007 A, the 6007 G a lot, but this one is the perfect design. This repeater demonstrates great life style, celebrates lightness and beauty of life. A dream piece on par with a 5078 R.

These appear to be in the ballpark of secondary market prices.

Many sites inflate the price by at least 10-15% giving them a margin to negotiate. And when it comes to patek, unless it’s a nautilus or aquanaut, or a reference that was undervalued like a 3940 or 3970, prices are fairly flat. For example, I’ve been foll

Are auction prices 'real'?

I was looking for some articles on the Patek ref. 5135P Annual Calendar. I came across a Sotheby's listing for an auction in September/October of 2025, so not too long ago. This one hammered at 25,400 Euros, or about $30,000 U.S. That seemed incredibly lo

It more than a thrill

Grand complications are like a well performed orchestra symphony, Time only is a solo, or a string quartet at most. Both are wonderful when well performed: music, Musicians, instruments, a concert hall acoustics. Just a different sense of a sound, and a h

Hi Tony, A warm welcome to our Patek forum ! Your thought process in selecting the blue

makes sense, especially given that you wish to pair it with your wardrobe. Like you, I found the 5204 very striking, and also very sporty. The 5990/1R looks great and its blue dial simply lovely ! Look forward to reading more of your posts and collection.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and detailed thoughts!

You offer us a wonderful first post here! And huge congratulations on this acquisition: the blue 5270P looks wonderful indeed and what you say about its versatility makes a lot of sense. In an interview the other day, Thierry Stern said that these models

I bought the Blue.. here’s why

I visited the salon and spent some time trying on all three new 5270P variants, along with the new 5204, to make a proper side-by-side comparison rather than relying on press photos. The red dial photographs exceptionally well and initially caught my atte
