Of all the references the 5970 series had the most “commissions”

The ref 5004 closely follows then the 5070. Some are genuinely unique dials but some where made in a very small series. However, to put all this into perspective I predict that only 50-100 pieces were made. Consider approximately 3000 pieces were made, th

These appear to be in the ballpark of secondary market prices.

Many sites inflate the price by at least 10-15% giving them a margin to negotiate. And when it comes to patek, unless it’s a nautilus or aquanaut, or a reference that was undervalued like a 3940 or 3970, prices are fairly flat. For example, I’ve been foll

The stuff dreams are made of

To me, the 5960, in all iterations and metals, but especially in platinum, is the definition of Patek Philippe in the first quarter of the 21st century. This is what horological history is made of. Design, complications, practicality, complexity. All of t

Display to size ratio wise the 5004, sadly I can’t unsee the small moment in the big case of the 5970, even if I love the Lemania heritage,

So for me it’s the 5270( with the chin), due to the bigger month-day and cleaner overall look of the dial. But to be honest, for me personally, nothing beats the 3970. The 5270 family: Best, Zsolt.

Hi All, After seeing 2026 novelties in the metal, my take on the general direction of Patek is that

The “Standard” 5970s

Over the years, there have been a handful of special, highly limited versions of the Patek 5970 — rose gold with black dial, white gold with salmon dial, and likely a few others. But the “standard” versions are wonderful in their own right. To me, the 597

Because it was full moon today...

I thought of doing some dial close up photos. Which one is your favorite moon phase? (sorry for the poor quality pics) Let's start with the Wonder Watch the nick name I gave to my 3448 since I have it... The successor of 3448 being the ref 3940, let's go
