Clueless_Collector, a long-time contributor to WatchProSite, shares an exciting new acquisition that has quickly ascended to the top of his collection. His post not only unveils a highly coveted timepiece but also sparks a discussion among collectors about the nuances of perpetual calendar chronographs from leading manufactures. This article delves into the community's insights on this significant addition.
Enjoy…my other watches now have a new one true King…no, it’s not Aquaman 😬
I’m looking forward to watch that movie, hope it’s good, not too much animation.
Have a great week everyone. Stay healthy and be nice 👍🏻
Key Points from the Discussion
- The author reveals his new 'King' is a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, specifically a Ref. 5270J, chosen after a direct comparison with the A. Lange & Söhne Langematik Perpetual.
- The decision for the 5270J was made after trying on both the Patek Philippe 5270J and the A. Lange & Söhne Langematik Perpetual, with the Patek immediately feeling like the right choice.
- A fellow collector expresses similar admiration for the Langematik Perpetual but raises a question about the long-term wearability of the Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Chronograph due to its larger size.
- The Patek Philippe 5270 in silver dial, particularly the 'chin' variant with all minute markers, is highlighted for its legibility and unique aesthetic among the 5270 series.
- The author expresses excitement for the Patek Philippe Caliber 29-535 PSQ movement, dismissing the notion that the 'rarer' production numbers of the 5970 make it inherently superior, viewing such claims as marketing.
- Another collector shares an image of their own Patek Philippe Aquanaut, playfully joining the 'king' theme.
