Of course, the feeling you felt it once in a year and especially in Patek Philippe. Good luck and happy holidays.

I was in my car waiting when I saw this :

A brilliant sight. My left arm simply froze as I reach out to my phone to capture the sight.
A week to Christmas !
Cheers !

Patek Moonphase...
Here's mine saying hi.
the full moon was very obvious in the central position late last night from 10pm Singapore time but from 11am today, it started to move to the right a little bit.
I think it coincides with the 15th day of the Chinese Lunar calendar where the "fullest moon" is very late night on the 15th or 12am of the 16th.
I can see you are enjoying your PP alot. Very happy that your watch is still making you happy and it will last for many more years to come.
Even though many prefer the Lange moonphase (which is really great I must admit), I still like my 5146 moonphase alot. A personal bond after 12 months of wearing it 
cheers

Nice 5146 !
Hi , Robin.
Nice for chipping in. And a first time we are seeing your 5146 I believe ?
Would you be doing a review of this watch ?
The 5146 is a rather popular AC Patek. Yours is the YG with white porcelain dial.
Is it a reliable and accurate watch ? Someone previously asked how to read the PR indicator needle. Does it swing up or downwards ?

5146R
Hi Akitaishi
Mine is the 5146R - rose gold with cream lacquered dial. I love the cream colored dial alot when i was looking for an annual calendar and the classic looks of the 5146, the curvy case and the warm of rose gold of this 5146R won me over.
I got it for Christmas in 2012 (time for an annual review!).
Previous post of this watch here:
It's keeping very accurate time (and moonphase too - my friend with a Langematik perpetual will compare his moonphase with my 5146 every month!)
Not sure i understand your Power reserve question?
It swings to right when power is increasing (from winder, wear or winding) and left when power is being consumerd?
cheers

(patek) sun and moon

Enjoy the complication. cheers.
patek 5055
I like that watch a lot. May not be fashionably big for today's average watch buyer, but that is why I like that watch that much more. Very understated, the case was fitted for that movement and the white moon, exquisite.
Yea... Understated is
the word.
Not a much talked about piece but it is real fantastic watch. At first look, the dials would seem all skewed towards an angle.
But if you notice practically speaking, in most situations, your hands are almost never parallel to your chest when ever you read time. You could be driving, typing, having a meal and the posture of your hands would be about 40 to 45 degrees from your body. At that angle, that's when the dials simply lines up nicely. -- "Left , right and below."
I love this picture. The reflection of the sun, overhead at the position between the 1 o'clock and 2 o'clock sun is simply perfect. That's what the time is showing and the sun is diagonally across the watch center, opposite of the full moon on the moon phase indicator.

Good one!
You got me there!
Jaeger-LeCoultre made a Sun Moon Reverso a long time ago.
But now you have a Patek Philippe version!
Thanks to all...
who chimed in. Seeing this thread again after a year plus from the original posting makes me rediscover this beautiful Patak once more.
Anyone who has done photo-essay with the Patek 5055 ?
