So, I've finally been able to see Patek Philippe 's ref. 5100 in the metal, both in yellow and rose gold . I first discovered the yellow gold variant. Ref. 5100J-001 My very first reaction was: this model feels much better than the original " manta ray "

I always liked the 5489 and the 5109 despite the round movement. And I really like the 5124. The 5124 is very special to me because of the art deco design. I especially like the 5124J variant. To me, that's just such a great classic timepiece. I once said

Over a cuppa and watch chit chat with a fellow purist, I was privileged to get a hands on view into some really nice novelties - one of which is older than I am. This is the essence of our hobby - mechanical marvels, and Patek being near the top of crafts

Well I like some brands more than other that for sure but primary I love the certain model no matter the brand name behind it If the watch is nice than it's nice regardless the brand of course level of finish and movement quality differ and that's for sur

for your insights. Much appreciated. BTW, I spoke with my AD yesterday about this model. She told me that the 5124J has already been discontinued and that the 5124G is expected to be retired next year! So, I may have to make the leap soon. The dilemma, ho

Ok, ok, it is not a 5124G but it is still a 5124 ! I took these pics during a diner. Funny point is that 5 of the guests were wearing Patek Philippe watches including 2 women... Fr.Xavier
