Third time *IS* a charm.......

I bought my first 5110J back in 2006 and I absolutely loved it. I had three Pateks by 2017 (5110J, 5135R, 5960P) but I sold all three, to fund my freshly started business venture. (No regrets, it was a great decision) Business was doing great and I was fo

Emmanuel, many thanks for another illuminating and beautifully illustrated post - this time about the gorgeous and highly complex 5101!

Including the 3 stepped rectangular historical antecedents creates context for the highly modern modern 5101. Both the beatuful antecedents which at one time were highly desired and the 5101s are sadly not so widely appreciated today. I have a small wrist

Four Generations of Patek's Central Rotor Automatic Movement

In the late 70s Patek was juggling four automatic movements: 240, 28-355 (JLC 920), 27-460, and 350. They wanted a thin, automatic movement with sweep seconds that wasn’t the 350. Eventually this movement family, and the 240, would replace the other three

A peppy, perky Patek to start the weekend.

The 5135J, another one of those, you know, love-at-first-sight watches, which also is a little out of the ordinary. It's a fun one to have on the wrist so I can admire the sunburst guilloche dial. (And yes, the date is off, I never bother to adjust.) HAGW

A great series.

It surprises me again and again how we share similar pov. The beauty and practicality of this series. The pain in winding it (not that far from speedy pain, but here it’s 10 days). The preferred P metal but the acceptable G for it’s pure beauty. All in al

I am in your corner. Always loved 5020 especially the P. I think the 5135 is extremely attractive (although too big for my wrist… I have tried more than once). Maybe it will have its day like 5020.

And I especially like non-round watches, particularly rectangles. For me the ultimate being 5101P, which I would love to own.

Google's AI has the answer to some of your questions...

The Patek Philippe 5135P was discontinued in 2011. It was introduced to the market in 2004 and was produced for only seven years. The platinum examples were made for the shortest amount of time, only from 2006 until 2011. The distinctive and elegant case

I hear you :-)

And can definitely understand the "nerdiness" point, I'm the same looking for as much as information on my watches as I can, However, these details are typically a work of research and not coming from the back of the mind..... Therefore, as its really wor

Trying to find out more about the history of some recently purcased models

Started a business 7 years ago and used the proceeds from selling all 3 of my PPs: 5135R, 5960P and 5110J, to get the business off the ground. No regrets....it worked out well. Luckily, during the last few moths was fortunate to re-acquire some models and
