''beauty in the eye of the beholder''-and rarely seen in rose gold
5000t/000r/b304
first launched sihh 2017 and discontinued 2022
5000T/000P-B975 43 mm Platinum
this model took over from 2022 and is now the only.-maybe the last with the legendary lemania calibre.--inhouse calibres i assume will take over-or try to.
the calibre 3300 single button i assume was not good enough to run a chronograph and a QP as it would of been fitted
single button cal 3300I always thought this was a really good watch… with a not so good layout.
The three sub-dials seem to somehow sit too close together, creating too much blank space around the edges of the dial, and the asymmetry between the large sub-dial and two smaller sub-dials makes the whole setup a bit odd looking. If only they can tweak the aesthetics a bit.
I've tried this one on a few years ago.
Too large for my wrist, but very nice.

Such a lovely watch…with a significant flaw
The elements of a really great design are there, especially the signature engraved moon face. But I keep wishing I could spread my thumb and forefinger, like with this iPad, and expand the dial elements to fit! But the layout is constrained by the movement, held prisoner within a too-large case that hangs loosely around it like pants too big for the wearer. Thankfully there are signs the fad for oversized is passing so we may have a more proportional edition in the future.
I think they tried to somewhat mitigate this by making the running second subdial quite big (as otherwise everything would be squished in the middle, leaving to much blank space in the margins), but the dial ends up being bottom heavy.
And unfortunately in this case, I do believe the Patek 5970 did it better, from purely an aesthetic point of view.
