.. Duometre a QL in WG.. as it is still my dream watch, but possibly would wait until SIHH - infos are here ( maybe in 40,5 mm ?) - then the Duometre a Chronographe ( RG ?) - and finally the Duometre UTT And in fact exactly do, what you suggested: Patek W...
I think most people that choose blue 5270 love the color, while 5204 maybe for "long term value"? Maybe if they made a blue 5204, then everyone will choose that one...=D
unless he or she (the AD!:)) would offer one, I mean offer like "give me one), I would choose the blue dial, although the "cream/white" dial watch is a chronograph a rattrapante, I prefer the hands on the blue dial, that's me;) Now, because both of them a...
I realize my post is not exactly responsive to your interesting question, but personally I prefer 5004P to 5204P and I prefer 5970G to 5270G. The combined price of a pre-owned 5004P AND 5970G is not too far off the price of a 5204P. Best, patekova
Can't really see how the two pictured can be compared... They're both amazing watches but one is obviously far more expensive and with an added feature that adds substantially to the movement. Having said that, based on pure aesthetics I'd take the blue 5...
nycbrose, Interesting that for most responders, the issue boiled down to either the dial colour or the pusher shape. All that R&D and engineering angst and finally, people go with their heart. In that case, I choose the "white" one ;) The additional s...
Eventually the new model blue dial 5270G will make it to a lot of ADs. However it is going to be rare to see a 5204P at an AD display, unless someone cancelled on an order as it is a true application piece. If money was not an issue, the 5204P for sure. B...
If your AD has no buyer so far for them put them on hold, fly to Geneva and see if you can get an even better deal, ehermmm: a more complicated Patek in the Patek Salon. If you think that is a bit too much hustle: the 5204, of course. Best Moritz
To me it appears times are a bit "difficult" again for high end pieces. Hence the offer from your AD, hence the alterations of the 5270, the availability in AD's windows ... . I might be wrong but I would try to get the 5208, 5950, 5951 in the Salon. Ther...
Yes, the price is significant higher but you also get a lot more if you are not only counting complications. You already mentioned the smaller size. Yes. Both movement represent a different approach of watchmaking. One is high-level serial production and ...
... it is a single monopusher chronograph, which is very understated. And Patek is the overlord of understatement. As the 5951 movement is based on the original 5959 movement it is very likely that it is also treated as such. The remontage, twice assembly...
"Lange and Soehne is doing it with all their movements" Yes, but most of them are much bigger and that helps a lot, to make things easier. Especially if we talk about 5950, 5951 or 5959, there we see a total different approach of very classical (Swiss) wa...
Hi Oliver, I know that one cuts corners, sometimes. You are absolutely right to mention the size: Patek movements are always slim, which is traditional. Have a great time at the SIHH. Moritz
5204 hands down. If you could afford it I would take the split seconds. It's more than just the dial color. It's the entire movement of the watch with that chrono pusher on the crown. The only thing left after that would be a minute repeater. I would take...
