Patek Philippe

... I believe one of the crown jewels is about to stumble.

Anyway, I don’t believe that their latest creation is a failure or success. Markets speak. Buyers vote with their dollars. As I have stated before, “Time will tell…”

... I wasn't making a blanket prediction about ALL the offerings from this storied brand. I do believe the new offering will not do well.

I ask because…. There is more room for PP to add to and expand the collection. Potentially driving a noticeable contribution to total total sales

... Will slump. I recently read an article that highlighted T. Stern's view of the new design and was surprised at how arrogant he comes off.

IMO, T Stern's remarks may have been a bit lost in translation, or he may have misspoken in some capacity. He sounds confident in this new model sitting alongside all their other great collections. Never the less. I think we can all agree its too early to tell.

was initially very unpopular. Today it is coveted. Patek, and other makers like Rolex with the Daytona which
was also initially very unpopular, seem to make silk purses from sows ears.

... The truth is, even if you dress a monkey up in silk, it's still a monkey.

EVERY watchmaker has tripped up from time to time or issued a dud release, but what you’re insinuating seems far from the truth. Let’s check back in a decade and see where things are at.

... Hubris.

... Well played.

Have you actually tried one on your wrist ?

... Has anyone?

I feel it’s the best way to give an objective opinion about a watch.

... For other discussions regarding the Cubitus.

And it's a pretty-good watch. Especially on a big arm (on a chunky guy, the cubitus is not unisex), the cubitus could well look better / more suitable than a Nautilus.

Good to see one on your wrist.

... Perfect context. It does look good, I admit. But the two-tone? No.

Quite wonderful. And I happen to like two-tone whether on a Daytona, Breguet tourbillon, or a Nautilus chrono.
Give it an extended try, you might like two-tone too! Chk

Not interested at all, heavy (platinum), but I took picture of this one 😃

... On how I feel about nepotism. If T. Stern(us) actually demonstrated true watchmaker skills, then my opinion would shift.

... I cannot lose the courage of my convictions.

... Such a passionate conversation.
Hope to see you soon, mon ami.
