Patek Philippe

Saw both pieces and had them on my wrist

Both are excellent, especially the 7175 for Ladies !!  The colors of 7175 to me are more vibrant and make the watch looks better overall than the 5575.  The only issue is the diamonds, absent which I would choose it over the 5575.

Given the 1300 pieces of 5575 vs 450 pieces for 7175, I felt that it would be easier to get the 7175.  If I could get only one piece of 175th, I would get the 7175 as an anniversary present for my wife and I would score BIG points.  My logic was that there should be more than 3 to 1 ratio of male vs female collectors. Made sense, right ??  WRONG unfortunately.

Apparently, many male collectors order the 7175 for their wives.  It is much harder to get 7175 than the 5575.

So if other PuristS think the same as me, you might want to adjust your strategy.

Please let me know which one you think looks better on my wrist (assuming no diamonds), how you compare and contrast these two watches, and which one your prefer (assuming no diamonds).

Cheers,

Gordon

p.s. There have been several previous posts (including mine) on the hands of 5575 not being very legible because of its color.  On this point, what I understood was that the aesthetic of the watch (dial and the moon phase) required some grey polished hands.  Several simulation with half or full sand blasted hands have been carried out and not selected.  For technical reasons, these final version was chosen.

   

I had previously expressed my preference for the 7175, won't mind the diamonds, but will change the color of the straps to darker brown or black.

Just my opinions, lucky you if you can get the 7175, I think it can be unisex from its size.

7175 being your preferred choice.

For me, the bling makes it a no go for me.  No matter what, I cannot get the 7175 anyway.

By the way, I am fine with the diamond sticks as the hour markers on the ladies chrono's 4675 because they are less bling and quite subtle.

the ladies version is a sure beauty & more
legible compared to the men's model.
if you dont mind the bling its perfect for male purist.
that just my opinion.

... the better choice (absent the bling) for male PuristS, especially the ones that need reading glasses !! LOL

7175 and your assumption would make it even more beautiful

You think it is a sought after piece, because of woman or their man?

Mine would say if you get one for me you can enjoy it even more, because you can always enjoy it on my wrist. Still it is not a chronographs and therefore mine is not interested this time.

...highly sought after because of men wanting their ladies to have this very special piece so that they can continue to purchase more Patek's without incidence !! LOL

Since your wife wants the chrono, then why not get her the 4675 ?? I saw it and it looked great.

Cheers,

Gordon

as she is interested in the 5975P - only

Best,
Oliver

mine would like the enamel

it is five times more difficult in your case, but I agree with your wife. She seems to have very good taste and you can´t blame her for it, can you

Will come back to the watch, soon ...

Best,
Oliver

guys which country are you in? i assume the AD has stocks of the anniversary pieces?

I am surprised, considering that the Philippine PP boutique owners attended the events in Geneva.
