F is gorgeous.
I also like A, B and D.
And I’ve been very tempted at some point by the Historiques Ultra Fine 1955 (ref. 33155).

Patek Philippe ref. 2568 vs Vacheron Constantin ref. 6099
Two vintage ultra-thin giants. Three examples of each , intertwined. Which one do you prefer? Best, Emmanuel A/ Patek Philippe ref. 2568/3 in yellow gold with silver dial Case: 33 x 40 mm. Calibre 23-300 credit: 58 facettes B/ Vacheron Constantin ref. 609...
Somehow....
VC's execution of 'sibling' watches almost always looks more appealing to me. Perhaps an odd observation, but it rings true to me....
VC’s execution is more refined.
I agree with you. But I could be very happy with a 2568. I’ve been very tempted to buy the Historiques Ultra Fine 1955, ref. 33155 at some point. Best, Emmanuel ...
Funny story...
...I decided to ask an AI the following question: " What is the thinnest Calatrava in the current Patek Philippe catalogue? How thin is it?" It came back with the ref. 5196 at 7.68mm. I thought that was discontinued, so I asked it to look again. It came b...
We are indeed smarter! ;-)
I've been so disappointed every time I've tried to use AI to get watch-related information! Best, Emmanuel
It surprised me because my question was very specific...
...all it had to do was get it right the first time : )
F for favorite 👏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Too bad that these really thin watches have largely disappeared from catalogs 🤷🏻♂️

For me it would be the Vacheron and Constantin watches over the PP
I just feel that the Vacherons have a better look and more character and soul. Marc
Yes, the VC are more refined, I completely agree.
And the revived version of the 6099, with the gorgeous caliber 1003 visible through the sapphire caseback has been a true temptation for me. But I could also be very happy with a PP 2568. Best, Emmanuel
Thin is in!
Nice photos of very thin timepieces! I really like that swan neck spring on that last Patek Philippe caliber. Supposedly, the reliability of the Vacheron Constantin 1003 is quite good - for an ultra thin caliber. As the owner of two Jaeger-leCoultre 849 c...
I like the 849 very much too.
In fact, I dedicated a thread to those two wonderful ultra thin calibers (849 & 1003): www.watchprosite.com Have a nice Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
I don't know, unfortunately.
And, like you, I find VC's execution more refined. But I would still be very happy with a 2568. Best, Emmanuel
