Patek Philippe

I have never thought this watch would be so nice until I tried it on today.  Certainly, pictures speak more than thousand words but I can guarantee you that this watch in real life is better than what you see in these pictures by miles.  But still, hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do.

Hi,

I was impressed too when I tried it in Basel (even if I prefer it without diamonds).

A very beautiful watch, but not something that tempts me (a matter of priorities, let's say!

Cheers

5971 is really really nice....

But how would you choose between 5971 and 5071?

Too much for me, but, hey, to each his own...cup of tea.LOL

Yes if the scratch is not strong enough to force the diamond out of the bezel.... otherwise, no....

I'm into big, sometimes flashy watches, but this is an insult!

I can't possibly believe that PP fan's(who treasure PP's history in the world's finest movements and timeless designs etc...) can find this 'alteration' to one of the greatest watch designs attractive....

Is it maybe from the respect to all those hard spent hours by countless R & D employees to improve upon the already beautiful Nautilus design...

Come on purists, this is pure garbage, but PP can't resist it because of the incredible margins to be had from adding the diamonds.

My .000000002 cents(that lately, are getting devalued everyday)

Hi,

What do you think is worse?

Putting diamonds on a watch so that ladies can enjoy it more, and some men too if they want to wear diamonds what is their right and if that's their taste?

Or make a big pilot watch in pink gold? 

Shall we poll the community? 

You a refully entitled not to like it! But garbage is a word.......

Have a good week end

Hi Dje,

I have abolutely no problem in taking criticism for a 'traditional' pilot watch being made in rose gold...bring-em on!

I believe I was careful enough to not offend any current owners of this watch, as I imagine it's not even out yet, but please, anyone that can afford this watch, knows how 'blingy' it is - and I'm sure can take a little criticism as well.

However, I see many PP's that are originally created for diamonds, and I'm sorry, this one seems like an aftermarket bezel on a presidential rolex.

I'm of course, very willing to be politically correct all the time, and just say the common "it's not my cup of tea," response, but I think for a watch that I'm going to guess is in the ~100k plus range, you will not see PP bidding on this one in the future.

This is the PP that I dream of:

Again, I don't mean to disrespect any future or current owner of this watch, It's just my personal opinion that this is what really makes PP special, the diamond bezel, IMHO, makes PP 'common.'
