Initial reactions to Patek Philippe's 2019 new releases. Community discusses trends, movement innovation, and market strategy for models like the 5726.

Euroasianstar initiates a discussion on Patek Philippe's 2019 new releases, expressing curiosity about seeing the novelties in person. This post serves as a launchpad for the community to share initial reactions and critical assessments of the new models, reflecting on Patek Philippe's strategic direction and collector expectations.

Key Points from the Discussion

Many high-end pieces were introduced, but there was no replacement for the 5296G, and no clear alternative to the Nautilus/Aquanaut for younger, less affluent buyers.
The overall trend in the new releases appears to be towards larger case sizes.
A lack of innovation in basic movements was noted as a disappointment, with a preference for foundational movement advancements.
The discontinuation of the 324SC caliber in the 5296, while still used in the 5711 and 5167, suggests that the dress watch market might be more discerning about movement choices.
The new iteration of the 5726 is expected to be highly sought after, similar to other Nautilus models.
Some collectors were not moved by the black or white dial options of the 5726 and hoped for a more compelling 'Patek blue' dial.

I've always liked the 5726, and almost purchased one a long time ago (white dial). No doubt this new iteration will be a crazily chased as the rest of the Nautilus line.

that this is the full list because there is nothing that I like! This will allow me to proceed with my other plans quite happily - I had to wait for Basel before pulling the trigger

Curious to see how this differs from the 5170, apart from the addition of two mm.
