5524G wrist game or crying shame?
Borrowing the tag line of one of the watch blogs, wanted to get your opinion on the PP pilot as I have an opportunity to acquire one in a trade.
There was a lot of heated debate when this first came out - and yes, I have read through the archives. What is the current view and have sentiments evolved since then?
How will history view this timepiece from a collectors perspective a few years down the road?
Thanks

I don't know about the rest of the world, but MY sentiments about it have evolved.

I think this is a very unique PP - modern size - great complication and like nothing else. Still impossible to find at AD I think it’s a winner!
I actually like it a bit more then a couple of years ago. However, i think it is naturally not as nicely finished as a modern Patek otherwise would be.
Pateks case design and finish is usually above, say, JLCs, however, on this one, being a sporty piece, it is just as good. I would have liked it if Patek would have taken a more sophisticated aproach to that casual model as well.
I was in the line to board at airport
Saw a Gentlement wearing a watch that took my attention, could not unterstand immediately what he was weraing, too far, he came closer ant I understood, this watch is amazing! Buy it!
Personally, it's a "modern classic"....
I think we will see more iterations of this case (like the current 5520P), due to the size being attractive to clients who have been wearing ROOs. While I am a huge fan of rose gold, in general, the white gold is the way to go, in this case. I could see P...
