The day started with a 20-minute taxi ride from downtown hotel to Palexpo , exhibition center next to Geneva airport. As I rushed out for a 10 o’clock appointment, I had no time for breakfast because of GTG from the night prior somehow ended with (lots of...
...I would have done the power reserve on the 8-day differently, but they may have been constrained by the underlying movement... It is an interesting watch.
How was the wildlife? 😜 the people-watching there can be hilarious. Gonna have to get the lowdown on the Cubimini from you when I’m next back in HK! Best E.
Seriously thanks for a lovely and personal report You are the best Julian I have not made any opinions on any of the Patek lineup but that 6196 def caught my eye
The novelty which sings the most to my heart is 5370R (probably predictable given my taste for colored gold and traditional looking watches). Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel
tick on my bucket list ! Overall meaning the Patek visit, meeting with Anita Porchet, various GTGs (Horology Ancienne, WPS moderators, and forum members), after-party, etc.
and light hearted reportage helps make it an entire experience and adventure. Much more interesting that way! As for the watches, the one I am most interested in is 6196P. By any chance do you happen to know the lug width (21mm?) and buckle size (16mm?) B...

Really lovely to read about your report and access to the inner PP circle as well as life at W&W! That the brand is personable and is prepared to give time to you and WPS goes a long way to explain why PP has its diehard fans. Thought it was 6196P as the ...
Since wrist shots make watches look bigger .. I suspect the 45 Cubitus maybe a better fit for you.. Anyways the 5370 is outstanding in your pictures, unfortunately I couldn’t find one to give it a test drive The 6196 looks good on your wrist
What’s lacking in my PP collection is a 3 hand manual winding calatrava maybe one day they will make it with breguet numerals.. meanwhile I will try to be contented with this, although not 3 hands : ...
It was also great meeting you, looking forward to repeating next year again 😉 From the novelties, the 5328G and the 6196P are already noted in my wish list 😊 Cheers!
The Grand Exhibition was not in my radar, but I would love to go too. Do you have any info? I've just Googled it and didn't found mucho, other than Patek's announcement. Cheers!
