Baselworld 2016: Patek Philippe

 
 By: Miranda : March 21st, 2016-14:39
Patek Philippe, a name synonymous with quality, history and attention to the fine detail. At this years Baselworld, Patek once again proved true to these qualities. Where perhaps it is not so obvious at first, the collection this year has become richer wi...

Your pictures are crisp. Your write up comprehensive enough. Best Geross.

Excellent write up!

I agree with you that the world timer is the best and most purist release. Lovely pictures of the applied numerals on the 5496 and 5396

World Time is my favorite and I like this new version...

... I'm happy to see that my city Buenos Aires is back among the dial cities! Cheers! Abel.

The two watches which caught my attention are the two WTs.

The 5230 could have been my choice if the cities ring was slimmer and the main dial bigger. As for the WT Chrono, I am a bit disappointed. The proportions of the dial are perfect, which proves that they could do it on the 5230, but still, the overall outc... 

the WT chrono would have been more of a tool watch with 12h counter

A clearly for travel conceived watch would have been much more useful as a 12h chrono than a 30 minute chrono scale. However, this aside, it is very well balanced on the dial with the 30 minute counter perfectly placed. With nearly 13 mm thickness it will... 

Thanks Imran for another excellent report ! Yes, both

WTs look superb! Really want to see them in the metal. If you had to pick between them, which would it be (money aside)? BTW, did you see the blue minute repeater? Cheers Gordon

Thanks Imran for the feedback on 5230 over 5930!

Please let me know your reasons Thanks Gordon

I like the macro details on some of the watches. What can I say It just looks yummy Best regards. Edward

Went to Baselworld this afternoon and did not like the 5230 guilloché

 
 By: drphileasfogg : March 22nd, 2016-12:45
Disappointed. The guilloché doesn't do it for me. WT chrono is nice and does not look too thick; the only novelty I like this year. Cheers

Thanks Imran for the report!

I was convinced by the 2016 collection especially the work done around the annual and perpetual calendars. Fx

Great write-up! Do I see correctly?

 
 By: brandon1 : March 25th, 2016-12:26
Do I see correctly that the seconds hands of the 5204 are now curved at the tips? Is this specific to the split chronos? I don't think I've seen this on the 5070 or 5170, for example. Thanks! Brandon
