...even I don't care for the NYC skyline. It means nothing to me to see it on this World Timer or any watch for that matter. Perhaps they should spend more time and effort on more variations of the guilloche dial like the 5110P or some variations on enamel, cloissone dials.

that is indeed a fantastic one

I believe they'll make only 3 of these ( but at 560K USD it's not my game anymore LOL)

The MR that's linked to the world time ring is pretty damn awesome. Cheers, Brandon
How many pilot watches are out there?
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : July 12th, 2017-14:11
Many, but i'm aware today the brand is more powerful than any other technical feature. Recently PP commanded their ADs not to sell sealed watches (it's an old recommendation) but i can bet 2 cents that there will be several on the gray market, with insane...
this patek

the simple 3 hand patek pilot is more expensive than the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu in Tantalum which is just absolutely crazy and asinine
Be bold and be the second owner.

It's not as though the rest of the world is permanently barred from owning this model. With 600 made, there's no way that a determined collector won't be able to pick one up eventually. I was at the (excellent) Exhibition today - and encountered Patrick f...
Clear backs

I believe these will have sapphire backs with the PP NYC event logo etched in.

I am guessing the decision comes from Mr. T. Stern
By: Joepny : July 12th, 2017-08:29
When Singapore celebrated their big anniversary a few years ago, PP did something similar and created some enamel dome clocks that were intended only for Singaporean collectors. SJX reported that was a decision made by TS. I think it is a stroke of market...
Me too

We can only hope that PP will do for rest of the world (by the way Romania is not small for PP, it not on the map) a new edition and we can get something not LE. I hope to be black.

The same here exactly
By: beejo : July 12th, 2017-09:49
I tried calling a few ADs in the states,They will only sell to known customers,And I never bought a watch from the states. Beautiful watches,Sad news for any Patek lover outside of the United States. Best, Ahmed

Interesting piece that makes a lot of sense to me at least...

600 for US only is not ultra rare but a good marketing move I think. Patek recognizes the importance of the US market and trying to go big with the Grand Exhibition and the release of this pilot watch. It is a good way to attract a new generation of buyer...
Not bad!
By: willski : July 12th, 2017-11:46
A nice watch and I'm sure it will sell out like hot cakes. There are a lot of comments on pricing but to be honest I think it's fairly reasonable (exclaimed: for PP)? A SS Calatrava style Pilot's watch is pretty new, and MSRP is closer to 5167 than 5711 w...
Just not sure about this, but would have the 5524 any day
By: Poky : July 12th, 2017-14:53
I wonder if this watch did not have the PP branding, it would still be as desirable? In my book, this is called printing money: use an existing movement, simplify the design, use a cheaper metal that you don't usually use, make it a limited edition at an ...
These are the politics of enterprise.
By: EJR888 : July 12th, 2017-15:33
Hi, all of companies have the market politics and target for take. With the Patek to be different? No, and they did how the swiss to do the work: simply, discret and focused in the goal. You can to write and to do order in the Patek or will to seek in the...
Yes, it looks very nice

even if I wouldn't have think that way from the first picture we saw a month ago. I totally understand how you feel and what I would do is really try to contact a few retailers, not necessarily in NYC and explain my case. Who knows. The numbers are not th...

These releases are easy for me.
By: Chimaera : July 14th, 2017-08:48
I like the aviator, but not enough to relocate to NYC to be eligible for one. For the WT/MRs, I'd relocate to Dante's Inferno, if necessary. Thankfully my family need not worry about that as the price point is too high anyway....
because
By: Bruno.M1 : July 14th, 2017-11:38
Well Julian, I see no reason why they had to make this for the US only. All the other watches they made for that exhibition are EXISTING watches with something that refers to the US or New York to be more precise. The enamel dials, the WT, the pocket watc...
I kindly ask your forgiveness...
By: shortys home : July 15th, 2017-04:48
... but besides the distribution philosophy behind this watch, are the Patek aficionados really satisfied with the dial balance? To my (Patek- wise uneducated) eyes the minute hand is too short and the lollipop seconds hand simply looks out of correct dim...
