A Rare Bird - the 5207P
Through the courtesy of a good friend, I was lucky enough to try it on my wrist...
As a platinum piece, it feels extraordinarily light but suffice it to say that the craftsmanship is superb and the minute repeating function incredibly pleasing to the ear. In line with the Patek tradition, the tourbillon was subtlely hidden at the back of the watch. Unfortunately we did not have the time to test the instantaneous perpetual calendar function.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, but I hope you will enjoy photos of this rare bird in the flesh.

Is that a 5131J behind the 5207P on the second photo? You are a lucky guy to put 5207P on your wrist.
amazing piece!
Your friends are nice to lend it to you Looks very big indeed but the color combination is nice Why is Patek increasing the font size for their brand?? For the basic models, one could understand but for such a high end piece, it is a strange strategy
Would love to see one in person...
fantastic dial and movement...not too thrilled about the lattice-work design on the case sides, but will reserve judgement until I actually see one in the flesh. Tim
