neither the Patek website nor the catalogue do it justice - i've seen some decent wrist shots so maybe there's a duty on you to supplement with further wrist shots

Managed to figure out how to post a photo. You would need 200 photos to see all the different colours in different light conditions....
love it

a real sport watch (waterproof) that is also thin and elegant enough to go under a shirt sleeve. the ohter choice is 5712 but is not waterproof. But both of them are magic.
ive taken the same photo!

For the jumbo size, the thin case, the simple dial, and the elegant bracelet.
