Anyone have wrist photos that show just how big or small a Patek 96 is on an average wrist (7.25 inches in my case)
It wears small, but you can get used to it.
I don't have a wrist shot as these 2 marvels are not mine.
But to give you an idea, here is a Lecoultre Mark VII Weems on my 7 inches wrist. The Mark VII Weems is 32 / 33 mm.
I am not disturbed by the size.
Best,

This is my soon to be 31mm 3878J
the Ref 96 is 30.5mm and my wrist is 6.75 inches.
Not too small in my opinion

Thank you for saying so!
I think so too. Discontinued in 1998 but I managed to come across one by chance at the Patek Salon in London three years ago, a special commission that the customer decided not to take.
Small...
...and you should take into account the (relatively) broad strap (lug) width. The resulting low case diameter/strap (lug) width ratio makes the watch itself look even smaller.

I think the vintage Pateks wear fairly small
I also have 7.25 wrist (which is larger than average)
I think 🤔
That watch in your wrist is very good-looking. It’s got a definite “Old School” charm. Very beautiful.
Thanks for the picture!
Thanks for the picture!
I really need to try one on at some point. I’ve come so close to pulling the trigger on a 3796 but I just can’t visualize how it’ll look. These photos help, but I wish I knew someone that owned one! [nt]

The watch wears bigger than 30.5
It feels like a 32mm watch due to the dial and bezel. It is quite stunning on a wrist because of the small size and obvious vintage charm. It doesn't look wrong, it looks vintage. It actually makes the wearer very handsome and intelligent looking :P. If you are concerned about the size, you can look into 570 and 565.
