New Arrival - PP Ref 4947

 
 By: Billfav : July 29th, 2022-18:44
I thought I would share my new arrival. While I am still in the honeymoon phase, I just am in love with this one. Perfect size (for me) 38mm, it is a reference that is not seen often and I suspect does not get the attention it deserves or would receive ha...  

Very nice, congratulations.

Nice pens too.

Thought it would pair well with the watch

The couple of MB fountain pens I have are my favorite writers.

Love both the timepiece and my Siberain buddy. Have two of them (Siberains that is)...

Hello Kitty!

We're happy that you're enjoying this lovely timepiece!

It looks great on your wrist, and I completely agree that it needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated! All the very best, Niall

 
 By: Billfav : August 1st, 2022-15:34
Thank you Niall - in person it is even more stunning.

Grazie. Glad to have the opportunity to share it with such a great group.

Steel PP are like hens teeth these days. I am happy to have it in the collection.

Thank you

Thank you. I like how it wears. The shape of the case (not as flat as the 5711) would wear big on my even at 40mm.

Well done in getting this steel AR !

Functional piece carrying a lovely blue dial with โ€œshantungโ€ finish. IMO This fabric pattern elevates this reference to a new height. I tried it on previously and thought highly of it. ...

Congratulations. Cool watch. ๐Ÿ˜Ž ๐Ÿ‘

I am considering that model of a watch. In due time, perhaps. Geross.

 
 By: Billfav : August 1st, 2022-15:39
When the time is right you won't be disappointed.

One of the best looking watches Iโ€™ve seen on the forum in a while!!!๐Ÿ˜ณ

Congrats on your acquisition and wear it in good health.

 
 By: Billfav : August 1st, 2022-15:40
Wow - thank you. There are a lot of nice timepieces here. You have good taste

Congratulations to your new watch!

 
 By: VintageCollector : July 30th, 2022-23:04
While I appreciate the dial color and texture, the subdials are to crowded in the middle of the dial for my taste. All that dial real estate could IMHO been taken care of in a more elegant way by moving the subdials outwards. All IMHO of course and whatโ€™s...

First, big congratulations to Billfav for an exquisite new watch! It is very rare to get a steel Patek complication piece with a bracelet!

Dear VintageCollector, I think I know what you meant, as I was thinking about it a while back. Please see the comparison below. It is a design choice for how to display the date. With a wheel date at 6 o'clock, the 3 sub-dials need to be positioned a bit ...
