Patek Philippe

Vibrant dials

Oct 02, 2019,20:42 PM
 

The grand exhibition was nice, but the real highlight for me was meeting two fellow Purists, Gordon and Jay, over coffee. Gordon showed us two of his enamel pieces, as I learnt to appreciate the creation of enamel in finer details. The dynamism and the different levels of shades in colour are very impressive. There’s a side by side comparison between his UN and Patek. I have a small preference for the Lion because I like how the case with wider bezel and strong lugs frame the enamel dial.








Jay came with his Chronometre Bleu, arguably the most vibrant single colour dial across different brands. An excellent watch too.

I must not have realized that there’s a colour dial theme going on as I’ve been traveling with my 5235G.



Thanks gentlemen for meeting up. Let’s do it again soon.

Ken

I am sure you had a great time with Gordon and Jay. It is always top to meet our friends here and there. Even if it is a bit dangerous, as they poison you with their watches... ;) [nt]

And poison with talk of other watches not on the table.

Most of us don’t need the encouragement to chase new pieces, we are doing enough damage all by ourselves. With a group like this fuel just gets added to the fire.

+++1. I know Gordon personally. The breakfasts we had in HK were among the most expensive I had. :))) [nt]

Gordon’s pieces stole the show a little. How could they not? Between the two however I think my aesthetic preference lies with the UN.

+1 That UN dial is very photogenic indeed [nt]

original painting "The Dream" by Rousseau ! Here is the link to my original post: www.watchprosite.com -/

I understand that and I've critiqued a few of his works. Needless to say APs work on this PP is immaculate. But missing the whole context it ends up focusing on the Lion...
