Clueless_Collector's post beautifully captures a moment of personal joy amidst global uncertainties, offering a poignant reflection on life's fleeting nature before diving into the world of horology. Their inquiry into Patek Philippe's use of 4N versus 5N rose gold alloys for specific references, particularly ladies' models, sparks a fascinating technical discussion that enriches our understanding of material choices in luxury watchmaking.
Here's an informative thread by Robin (jrwong23) on our very forum a few years ago: www.watchprosite.com
Holy Smokes!! No pun intended...but that is quite a catch!! Love the 5524!! I’m still on Tiffany’s list for getting one. Wow!!
Yes I know it's different alloy composition but still unclear why PP is using less rosier gold for ladies model is my question. Their advertisement only says Rose Gold. Thanks for the link...now we'll see if Robin will help to compare Rolex 904L vs 316 SS.
You're on the waiting list?!?!? No way....you're teasing me. I think they got your list reversed, difficult ones first, easier ones later ) This was displayed in their salon when I visited last Oct.
This very Patek has been the only one outside of the WT which has interested me in the last few years. But I was going for the smaller case, as you see here. The reason I don’t own it is that specific choice of 4N over 5N. It’s amazing how many points of sale kept telling me that both pilots were the same, although I give them some leeway as I don’t think many of them had handled the smaller case so often.
Couldn’t tell this was a 7234R...looks good on ur wrist regardless. Yeah...somehow my list is so long that they probably started with the difficult ones first and work their way back. Looking forward to my allocation, may have to wait till 2021 since I think a lot of pieces are already allocated
