but my favorite here is the 5100R. The 5100 is one of PP’s best references imo. Here’s how it wears on my 16cm wrist. The thickness is the only reason why I’ve had a doubt if I would wear it daily. And I finally ended up acquiring the 5098P, which I wear
5100 is certainly a VERY special watch and there is nothing like it in the PP catalog for a long time (case shape, power reserve, shaped caliber etc). It's a classic. Had a chance to try out the 5100R for the first time while I was in Geneva last week. Ve
So, I've finally been able to see Patek Philippe 's ref. 5100 in the metal, both in yellow and rose gold . I first discovered the yellow gold variant. Ref. 5100J-001 My very first reaction was: this model feels much better than the original " manta ray "
The case of Patek Philippe's ref. 2554, with its angular flared sides resembling the wings of a manta ray, hence its moniker, is one of the most sensuous I know. It was the direct source of inspiration of the later ref. 5100, made to celebrate the year 20
it is funny how different watches look good or not so good in different metals. I could consider 3940J but never 5040J. At the same time 5100G is top for me, 5100P quite nice, 5100R okay and again 5100J dull in my eyes. I'm still considering the toppic. T
If I decide not to take the 5100R, then we are competing on the same market place for a 5100G. My problem is that even the watch is very nice, I have big difficulties to imagine a relative big piece of red gold on my wrist. We were just last Saturday havi
