Hi All, tonight I had the pleasure to meet two BIG Patek collectors for a GTG. I was simply...
speechless because of what they brought to show me ! The rare handcrafts established warm emotional feelings for me.
What do you think of these references ?
Which one(s) do you appreciate most or less and why ?
Cheers,
Gordon

yes Nicolas, it was a 5230 NY ! The 5070P is great, especially its...
smooth pushers ! I tried getting these two collectors drunk so that they would take the watch condoms off. Unfortunately my alcohol tolerance was not good enough ! LOL !
Dream watches!!!!
And some buried in plastic and probably never worn. What a pity... Best, Thomas
Hi Thomas, I agreed with your assessment about burial ! As a moderator, I convinced them the amazing feeling of bring out...
a new baby. Unfortunately the owners already have enough kids to deal with !
5070P is the king of cool …
sealed plastic Patek Phillipe watches are the opposite… totally uncool !
I tried and tried to convince them to take of the condoms and then got...
drunk and gave up :-(
holy moly - what an impressive gathering
Each and every one of them is impressive. But yours fit right in to that company. Each of the rare handcraft pieces is a priviledge to just see and even more so to be the owner. I had the chance to spend time with the Nauti recently. An Impressive watch i...
you are most welcome Christian ! Sharing is...
caring ! The 5976G is a real heavy weight !
yes, when I press the pushers of the 5070P, they felt like a hot knife...
cutting through butter ! So smooth and soft !
Thanks Gordon --- you know I have a weak spot for rare handcrafts and this is a totally spectacular bunch!! :-)
Perhaps my favorites there are the 5077 and the 5131G, closely followed by the Calatrava 5088P (though this is the 2015 edition that they have "reinstated" in the regular collection, so that's the only reason for third place ).... But again, I'd be happy ...
Hi Fab, you are most welcome and your knowledge of is great on the 5088P ! I had thought the 5088P was not a...
regular production but a Basel rare handcraft for 2016/2017. VC Metiers d'art pieces are great but overall Patek wins in my opinion not for just artistry but on the whole package.
5131G & 5230 NY are my favorite among those awesome pieces 😍😍😍
but those plastic stuff... 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿 Thanks for sharing the pic 😊 Cheers
Thanks Watcholic_id ! The 5230 NY is great due to the dial being very intricate and yet very...
discrete and different than the rest of the Worldtime watches !
Gorgeous bunch
Personally I like the 5070P and 5131G the most on that table.... both superbly wearable and understated elegance. The rest is great as well but watches look less good behind plastic...
Sealed
Excuse my newbie question - but why would someone bring a sealed watch to a GTG. I am curious !!
FYI, For this particular GTG, the collectors brought sealed pieces because they just...
bought these pieces from recent auctions and these pieces came sealed For me, it was a pleasure to get to see them. Better to have the opportunity to see them than not, right ? Perhaps these collectors are waiting for special occasions to cut the seals ?
Amazing collection of special timepieces! 👏👏👏
The 5131G is my favourite, followed closely by the 5070P. Thanks for sharing!
