some very nice watches but the most complicated looks to modern for me (5208P)

Thank you for posting! Any news on discontinued models?

From these pictures, most look a little cold (Lange-esk) to me and I hate the diamond pieces.

Heard about 5131R and 5131P + Nautilus 35th anniversary!!! Best, Patrickh

that there is no new 5131s or special nautilus... sorry... but that would be incredible... im sure they would have to retire the J & the G before they introduce the R & P, but something to look forward to!!!

Here are the details of new models with prices. 5270G Perpetual Calendar Chronograph £108,120 5208P Minute repater, monopusher chronograph, perpetual calendar £600,000 Approx 5961P Chronograph, annual calendar £96,940 5033P Minute repeater £405,00 5216R P...

I checked with my AD this morning, and would suggest everyone do the same.

... but i did hear about the 5153G!!!

... but my news are in this way.

YWA....Seriously....you need to stop.

Nothing new, nothing really affordable for non hedgefond runners, dictators or any other elites of the society. One looks very like the IWC's grande complication, one looks even like a Vulcain Cricket watch! The "Aquanaut" gets no mentioning at all, ooops...  

They were very hard words. Maybe they were a bit contrived too (except about the Aquanaut 5164, as ugly as sin). But they made me thinking and now I would like to ask you: regardless of our means and apart from our reasons (personal delight, investment, e... 

the reason why we buy a PP or any watch of that magnitude is: due to theire beauty. Regardless the price or the complications involved in each piece. I was disapointed that no entrylevel watch was in the line up this year, but as I know now the 5153 G is ... 

Appreciate the pics very much! This message has been edited by Mostel on 2011-03-23 18:33:08

Thank you very much for the new watch photo. I like the 5270 a lot but wonder will Patek has black dail version of it...

I hope he likes what he is doing, because from this collection, from what i see ( personally ), Thierry seems to want to depart himself from Patek Philippe, and create for himself which what i know. 5208 mono pusher, perpetual minute repeater, this has go...

Tic-Toc, I'm struck by your aversion to the 5208P as "horrific," as my first impression is that it may be the most wondrous watch ever made. Perhaps we're each responding in opposite ways to the same design cues. It is only in this century that Patek has ... 

i agree partly with your comment, that the idea of coming up with a chronograph with perpetual calendar all inside a minute repeater is brililant, the concept is there, just not in this style of presentation. i had no problem with the way 5207 was present... 

Hey there - Harsh - I like it, but seriously now - I can recall myself and many more of "us", when the 5960 first made its debut it was the laughing stock. Many had strong opinions on the dial layout - choice of complication combination etc. I admit, I wa... 

overall VERY disappointing. what's with the diamonds??? not to mention the prices. it reminds me of companies that build very extravagant and imposing buildings for their headquarters right before their demise......

5101 in white gold , but looking at the prices patek are starting to get unrealistic for most i fear.

Disappointed about most of the 2011 models except the 5270. Hope to see a 5726/1A. Could save the bullets for 2012.

As you might have seen already on Patek's homepage: - the 5153 looks even COOL with a black dial - the 6000 in RG very sublime - the 5298 P with grey dial and diamond also quite cool looking actually, although most likely out of reach for many So, only th... 

... And after seeing the prices on some of this pieces I can see why! Although I'm disappointed with this years collection I'm also relieved my 'wish-list' isn't going to get any longer. Last year's collection was a tough act to follow I guess.

First thoughts are that there are obviously a number of 2011 models made for an extreme high end clientele that wants and can afford very expensive and sophisticated timepieces (minute repeaters, tourbillons). These timepieces can represent watchmaking at... 

They are eyeing on the super rich China people .

I totally agree that this collection is geared towards the china market where price is inelastic and bling is in demand. What else could explain the diamonds? Look at the price of the 5970g when it was last offered a few years ago and compare it to the gb... 

... like in teh Arabic world and even in Europe. I personally find the 5298P very tempting and teh 5033 models, but they are way out of reach. But you are absolutely right: the price policy is beyond comprehension ... Lucky that Lange is more understandin... 

It's pretty clear that the 2011 Patek models are aimed at the highest of high end consumers, and those men who prefer diamonds on their wrists. No judgments here.........its all a matter disposable income and aesthetics.........but as far as the 2011 Pate... 

... to the current currency turmoil, PP did not and still charge at very high currency rates the same as usual. Quite arrogant actually. I am only lucky to have bought my Ellipse 2 1/2 years ago, during the currency turmoil start; now I would have to pay ... 

That Aquanaut is just a disastrous mess.

I agree with you. I think if they left off the local and home indicator/words it would look much nicer/cleaner.

looks like a fake PP . lol

The Aquanaut is not the one we talk much about when thinking about Patek, but with a steel bracelet for example it's a beautiful watch. But something is clearly going wrong with this version...

For the pics and price information. Best, Goh

That I am relieved, that there is nothing in this years collection, that falls anywhere within reach of my budget. I can now concentrate on getting a Panerai Though that is not say, that there are not pieces that I don't wish for, like the 5270 & 5208... 

obviously, not all models excite me. i have to confess that some are straightforwardly "ugly". but... guess what: if someone would give me the ugliest Patek watch ever made as a present, i still would treasure it. probably because i have such a great pers...
