I would agree with this!

The only one that came close for me was the 5127g (just my preferred configuration) I hope they consider some interesting dial options for the 6196! How about breguet dial 6196g j and r! Bring back sector also. A sector no date in the style of the classic

Thanks Emmanuel for a great comparison!

Indeed, both beautiful watches. Last year, I thought I would love the 6196, which I did on paper, but it didn't sing to me on the wrist for some reason. And I've tried it on several times. The me 5227 looks amazing in pictures, perhaps a sort of younger l

I prefer the 5227 compared to the 6196

I didn’t like the previous 5227s.. but for the salmon version, they make the bezel abit thicker.. I think it did wonders to the look.. The issue it I find the hands and markers to be really black.. it was quite jarring when I tried it..

To used the old cliche, similar yet so different!

Calatrava perfection! Each with their majestic charm! While the 5227G is (for me at least) the more rugged and practical younger brother, the 6196P remains my favourite. Not because of the metal, but the simplicity to which heightens its romanticism.

Interesting take.

I also thought I would not like the 6196 until I tied it on. Now I am thinking of getting it and rotating out my 5296.

I completely understand how you feel about the 5396,

even if I feel a little differently. I wanted to love the 6196, but it didn't speak to me when I tried it on... Again, just a personal feeling.

Annual Calendar Reguator 5235G: an undervalued gem?

Let me be frank: I’m not a huge fan of Patek Philippe in general. (Ducks a barrage of rotten fruit.) Before you start flaming, let me tell you that I enjoy the level of finishing Patek applies to its higher end products and appreciate the quality of the b

Too big

I am very sad that Patek has increased the size of almost all it’s watches in the last years. There is almost nothing I would buy in the current lineup. If this or the 6196p were in 37 mm (the 6196 almost in 36.5 since it wears large) I would buy it in a

Managed to try this at my AD, am surprised they already have it I find the hands and hr indices too intensely black, same as the 6196P salmon.. not very convinced
