Explore the allure of platinum watches with jlux's collection, featuring A. Lange & Söhne, Patek Philippe, and JLC. Discover why collectors value this noble metal.

Gerard, known as jlux on WatchProSite, initiates a captivating discussion on platinum watches, celebrating the metal's unique density and wrist presence. His personal collection, featuring horological masterpieces from A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte Original, JLC, and Patek Philippe, sets the stage for fellow collectors to showcase their own 'heavyweights.' This thread underscores why platinum remains a revered choice among discerning enthusiasts.

Platinum is considered to be he noblest of all metals when it comes to watchmaking.

I do like the density and resulting weight of PT watches on my wrist : something special every time I wear one of these !!

I have a few in my collection :

Lange Datograph "Up & Down"

Grand Lange1 Moonphase

Glashütte Original PanoMaticCalendar

JLC Duomètre à Chronographe

Patek Philippe 5960 P

Now up to all of you to show us these heavyweights that you have in your collections !!

Best,

Gerard
