Patek Philippe

Join Moderator Patrick_y as he takes us on a multi-part journey of the Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition.  This muti-part virtual tour of this incredible exhibition about the history of horology put on by Patek Philippe in New York City from July 13-23, 2017 at Cipriani 42nd Street. 




We continue our tour...

You are now entering the Napoleon room...

The most impressive room of the Geneva salon on Rue de Rhone is the Napoleon room.  It is a richly appointed room with beautiful furniture, embossed, burnt, and gold leaf applied leather wallpaper.  For the Grand Exhibition, the room has been reproduced. 

Patek Philippe even installed TVs with a video of Geneva as seen from their building on Rue de Rhone. 

Now, presenting the novelties of the 2017 Patek Philippe Grand Exhibition New York, for a dedicated report, please go to Mark's report here:

Close up of the dial.  Notice, a United States City is noted for every city possible on the dial. 



The back can show either the movement or a special dedication with a special Patek Philippe New York engraving. 


The side of the case has pierced lugs and a hobnail case band.  The lugs are a separate part that is specially polished and later attached to the case.  This is done so the hobnail can be completely uninterrupted, even as it passes under the lugs the four times in its total case circumference. 


The Patek Philippe Calatrava Pilot watch is an early favorite. 



WorldTimes are a definitive part of this set of 2017 Novelties.  The ladie's version looks great and very evening appropriate. 





Notice the dial of this WorldTime also US Cities whenever possible as well. 


Which one is your favorite?  I know mine.

Thank you so much for your exhaustive report.
Too bad I couldn't make it, but thanks to you I feel like I was there

Next time I'll come to Cali or anywhere in US I will definitely let you know.

Best regards

Gigi

And I'll let you know the next time I'm in Italy! Best regards, Patrick

😊👍

The night version of the NYC view is better for me.

More colours used and that rare expensive yellow enamel pigment.

They chose a nice scenery for the new collection.

I'm not only surprised by the complication movement and the dial.  But the hobnail case with pierced lugs was a surprise as well.  I find myself really drawn to the case.  The lugs are pierced and appear to float over the hobnail, this was done specifically to avoid an interruption in the hobnail design.  Even the minute repeater slide is made of two separate pieces so the hobnail decoration could be achieved without the design getting in the way.
