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.

Great write up Gordon of a truly very special W&W for Patek. For me one of the very best in recent years, even going back to the Basel shows.

So many novelties to like/love, including the fabulous automaton, the ground breaking new Celestial (both in complications and design), daring and beautiful new dial colors (eg the lacquered dial 5270Ps), 5227G salmon, exceptionally sporty and beautiful b

Watches & Wonders part 3: Patek Philippe Cubitus Perpetual Calendar ref. 5840P

Initial thoughts from the press pictures weren’t encouraging, but when seeing it for real and putting it on the wrist, it’s absolutely amazing. The Cubitus finally clicked for me in this perpetual calendar execution. The 45mm platinum case sounds imposing

5227G salmon

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

Given that I have a recently discontinued AD I am currently focused on discontinued references :-)

More seriously, I have always had a soft spot for the celestial complication and the 6105G is very cool but it is also out of reach. The 5610/1P is lovely but in a small collection it would only make sense instead of my blue 5711/1A which has been getting

I like the lugless case of the 6105..

But 47mm is very large even for a lugless watch.. in any case, it’s cool to see a lugless patek case I particularly like the 5810/1G and 5227G Finally a dateless 2 hand nautilus and it’s nice that they reworked the 5227 case to thicken the bezel.. the pre

For me personally, the following three stand out:

1. 6105G-001: It dares to present a design they never did before. The Richard Mille for intellectuals, if you will... 2. 5810/1G-001: The 41mm size and the 240 microrotor movement makes this very compelling to me and I would love to own one (if that happe
