5950

This wonderful cushion-shaped Patek Philippe single button (monopusher) chronograph will be auctioned on April 24 , 2026 , at Sotheby's “Important Watches” auction in Hong Kong . I therefore decided to take this opportunity to compile a list of all the cu

...it is a lovely watch. My only nitpicks relate to size. While not too big, it is platinum and thus slightly top-heavy. It is 41mm x 13.56mm so not dainty. Of course, I'd like to also see it at 40mm but the movement is commensurate with the case. I know

Have you ever wondered what the inspiration was behind the angle decorations on the dials of the Patek Philippe Split Seconds Chronograph ref. 5950 ( dedicated thread here )? Well, this possibly unique 29 x 29 mm platinum square watch might be the answer.

Emmanuel is talking about 3670/1A which is an amazing chronograph with 13-130 vintage caliber, while the one from our friend is a ref 5950A-001 so also in steel but it’s a mono pusher split chronograph with caliber 27-525PS (first seen on the iconic ref 5
