Rattrapante

People wonder why I was so excited to have my CB yet did not put it on my wrist.

Here is why: I can not pull of this monster hercules piece.
Try hard to capture it better but difficult. Please forgive my poor iphone photos taking in the airport and enjoy the watch images.

























Thoughts:

1. Don't be scared by its 44mm size. If you like the piece but concern about the size, I encourage you to try on the wrist personally.
    It is much more acceptable by not having the lugs. Thats a big help.
    If my tiny 16cm wrist looks ok for you, then I think the majority can accept it.

2. FP is very clever to take off the lug and enlarge the dial. The larger dial make it more sporty look to match the product line. Of course, more readable.
    To take off the lug is a big correction for the damaging of the big dial. 

3. The hammered bracelet is gorgeous. The texture is enjoying and it is so smooth that you don't have to worry about the problem like AP frosted gold damaging your skin or cloth.

4. Color of the dial. Very difficult to capture and present to you. It looks like purple blue. A fantastic color! Very good match with the silver grey hands.

5. Thickness is very impressive comparing to PP rattrapante 5370P and ALS DoubleSplit. I think FP does a superb job showing off his ability of designing the caliber.
    You can tell the thickness by the photo it's not even thicker than Daytona .

I think I upload too many photos here so I should upload the photos of the back in a separate post. Also I think the caliber deserves another post by itself.

cheers.

Double congrats on the CB and this beautiful Rattrapante. This reference has been so enticing since it was unveiled, and I think you made an excellent choice in platinum. I have yet to try one on, but seeing your photos is dangerous. Thank you for sharing... 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Dustin. It’s a impressive piece for sure.

Personally I like the dial colour a lot, it’s unusual and there’s nothing else quite like it. Our wrist sizes are almost the same but I feel I cannot pull it off. For several years I was hesitant on the CTS because of its size (42mm). When I finally belie... 

Beautiful !

That looks really good on you! I also love the hammered platinum surface. I is really special and unique. I didn’t understand the dial color until I saw the watch in real life it is so nice! I’m still hoping we will see this watch in the classic Souverain...
