Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

I understand how you feel about the cabochon: not my favorite part either, but not a real problem. On paper, I also think that small and YG would be the way to go. But in real life the two models which blew me away were the 5738P and et 5738/1R: both amaz

It’s wonderful, not doubt about it.

But the two models I really fell in love with are the 5738P and the rose gold bracelet model 5738/1R-001. The impact of these models in person is phenomenal. Best, Emmanuel

Thanks a lot for sharing your impressions and experience.

I'm fully with you concerning the 5738P: it's the one which made the strongest impression on me, if I leave aside the fascinating 5738/1R-001 (with which I also fell in love)... But the automatic movement remains a determining factor for me, reducing the

The Golden Ellipse dilemma (incl. new olive green models)

Last December , I had the opportunity to try on several Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse models , references 3738 & 5738 . I started with the white gold model with a grey dial , ref. 3738/100G-012 . Gorgeous and very elegant on my smaller 16 cm wrist , b

Many thanks Gordon for this extensive report about 2026 novelties

I was lucky to see them in W&W and not only in photo, it helps to have a better idea of the ones you like best... It's not easy to answer as many "novelties" aren't actual novelties but new color variations of existing references of the catalogue. I a

The only thing I can say is that every time I try on a Golden Ellipse, the feeling is stong...

Either 3738G or, maybe even better, 5738P.

Here's how the 5738 looks on my 16 cm wrist.

The smaller size (3738) would probably be even better, but this larger size didn't bother me, especially with the bracelet (the strap variant didn't feel as good on the wrist)...

Thank you Geross.

I personally prefer manual winding movements and would like the 3738 and 5738 even more if they weren’t automatic. That said, both are wonderful looking and I wonder if the 3848 does not feel too small. Hopefully the coming moths will allow me to try on d

Hard to choose from ! To me, the smaller 3848 has better proportions, in particular the thinner case vs. 3738. I tried 3738 & 5738, and can confirm Nico's appraisal, the smaller the better, even though it is a matter of tastes

Overall, I tend to prefer the more classic blue dial, even though I find the brown very nice and the "bordeaux" of the 3848 presented quite appealing. After that, movement 215 is a beast, no issues whatsoever with it even though 240 with its micro rotor i
