The 7200 is the only "classic" piece that isn't overdone. That minute repeater with the blue and orange dial is a tad bit overdone; and I never liked the 6007 dial upon which the new minute repeater is based on; I always said that if the 6007 didn't have
A lot of Patek Philippe designs are not that great. The Patek Philippe 6007 for instance. Nice watch. But, if it didn't say Patek Philippe on it, would people really give it a lot of thought? Would it sell in the quantities it currently enjoys? Doubtful.

Do you mind sharing what reference the beautiful platinum (?) Calatrava below the special 5196P Salmon has? Patek's home runs in the looks department have been far and between over the past 10+ years. 5230P is up there, 5740/1G as well, and 5170P was love
This has been a good year for collecting. Recently I managed to pick a 6007G. I really like it, I think the yellow accents makes it really pop. It reminds me someone here that bought one and called it the Singha beer colors (not sure if anyone remembers).
