Patek Philippe ref. 1511
One last post for today. Browsing a book I have on Patek Philippe watches, I found this ref. 1511 in yellow gold from 1942 . Of course, one could argue that it is merely a curiosity , a purely exotic piece (reminiscent of a sled?), or even a kind of freak...
For sure not the *anti-snag* case đ
Intriguing design study, nevertheless. I have never seen it before. Thank you for sharing.
Itâs certainly quite snaggy
and not very practical. But, even if very strange and eccentric, this design is so well executed⊠Thanks for looking. Best, Emmanuel
Maybe!
Itâs such an eccentric design (and snaggy), but somehow so well executed⊠Cheers, Emmanuel
What a weird looking watch!
I'd have to try it on my wrist before saying if I like it or not. But so far, I'm not enamored with it. Then again - I said the Nautilus looked like it had "ears" when I first saw it as a teenager - somehow - it became my first watch as a young adult.
Absolutely weird, but somehow
so well executed (and not just eccentric). At least thatâs how the photos make me feel, but as you say, I could feel differently in real life and on my wrist. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, well said.
There's something about it I really like, even if it's a bit weird. Cheers, Emmanuel
Yes, there's something of it.
But I like this one much better. It's a bit weird, but refined nonetheless, imo. Cheers, Emmanuel
Yes, well protected.
It's a little weird of course, but I find it quite attractive nonetheless. Best, Emmanuel
I think itâs pretty cool looking but...
âŠhow do you remove the crystal ? From back when things were allowed to be oddâŠout of the ordinary. I remember how odd and awkward Saabâs used to lookâŠat least to my eye used to American cars.
