5205
Tried the 5205 yesterday. Wow, that is a nice piece. It has some heft to it. The pointed lugs and hollowed sides look a bit odd in pictures but in real life it just works. Odd, but there it is.
I did a short video aswell : Not best quality but does give you an idea of the size.

Totally agree with you.
Looked underwhelmed in pictures but WOW when i saw it and tried it on.Very nice.
Not really for me ...
This watch is not a Patek, imho ... if I look at the design. It is one of the very few, possibly only watch from Patek that I would not want to have . The lugs are playful with theire holes, the central second hand gets too much attention as it stands out...
Is a post like this allowed?
It's not kissing Patek's *** and is critical? Is say: LOCK (I am trying to adapt the moderators view...)
You should read more posts before saying such things.
I am a moderator, and I don't always say positive things about PP, by far... Same for Panerai, JLC Blancpain, VC, Lange and so on. I'm not paid by PP, nor by JLC, by the way, to say only good things. I'm not paid AT ALL, by the brands, nor anyone else, he...
Mate: this forum is as irrational as our hobby is ...
Yes, in some points, like publicising auction results here and therefore stressing the value aspect of watches by that, but to ban discussions about value issues among eachothers, is not "understandable" in the first moment. But I believe the close realti...
Clearly I really think I've never published auction results.
Hi And I can add I don't even follow auction results and rarely look at auction catalogs. Aren't you mixing with another forum? Cheers Dje
Please try to learn some basic manners, elementary level will be suff.
I'm really tired to see any more of this destructive interference post. Wonder why the mod is so kind in this forum?! This message has been edited by JamesWirral on 2011-06-23 20:17:23
For me it was a nice surprise ...
in Basel 2010 and I liked it even more after seeing it in the boutique in Geneva. My favorite is the one with silver dial, which was another surprise. Oliver
Yeah, its a really neat piece, I hope to
be able to do a side by side comparison with the 5207. M
I love the 5205
Especially the darker dial version. And I don't even speak about the case... Fx
There is a noticeable difference ....
Ever since the annual calendar came out in this design, I was a bit puzzled about the reason for omitting the frames around the two outer calendar windows. Compared with the date's window at 12, this made the other two windows appear a bit like stamped ho...
"frames around"
Marcus, the watch was introduced in 2010 and there have been no changes so far. By the way, you can find the same kind of frames at Ref. 5207 which was introduced in 2008. Oliver
But what is the reason behind the difference? ....
... why should PP equip some references with frames around all three cutouts, and some with only one? Regards, Marcus
My guess ...
it is just a part of the design approach. Nothing more, nothing less. More sophisticated cases need more sophisticated dials ... Oliver
never even noticed the hollow lugs before.....
but then again how can you with a gorgeous dial like that J
