PR is not a feature of a dress watch as Patek tends to not make their dress watches busy. The petite complications Calatrava did have them for a short 6 years.

I always smile when I see this reference. It's the Nautilus that I would pick (If I were to pick from the pile) But it's also the one that I can never carry well because of my small wrist. Nice picture ! Really a pleasure to see 5712 worn out on a adventure. The petite complications Nautilus 5712 (a

I really hope they do an article about this in their Patek Magazine. That would be a good edition, a copy to keep, if someone in here is listening.(^-^)

How is 5712 not significant ? The group of complication (Date + moon phase + power reserve only), often referred to as Petite Complication was once was built on Calatravas. The 5015, 5054 and 5055 once had these groups of complications. Now no longer, as they are discontinued. Yes, moon phase and da

I was here last December. Nice shot with your Patek 5712

Not horological significant, in that sense. But this Aquanaut is not "any other" aquanaut. It's commemorative to mark the Watch Art Grand Exhibition in Singapore (2019, I think), limited to 500 pieces. I remember seeing it in the Patek Exhibition and it had some people going goo gah gah.. A bit deba

Design language maybe. But extend it beyond hands, to markers, dots, as I have alluded to. The usage of red elements in their watches. One begins to see some trends. Surely Patek considers the use of red on their watch very carefully, to accentuate their watch design. This is not to say that pieces

I remember seeing this also in 2019. Ignore the matching red strap. The minute markers and second hands are both red. Which is why subconciously, the red design element somehow makes one pay attention !

looking at how that I might have formed an opinion of this, was when I saw the Ref 3448 and this 3450 with a red dot. The 3450 was the successor to the Ref 3448. And the 3448 was the first perpetual calendar wristwatch to indicate leap years. Both had the red dot. These watches are by no means moder

Maybe if we look far back enough. The Patek 97975 had all the dates around the dial, each number in Red. This is the first perpetual calendar wristwatch in 1925. This precedes the 1518 by 15 years. Surely that's vintage of vintages ? I deem that is significant.
