A wonderful review is a weak word, my friend
To appreciate the job you did ,here!
A complete review, very informative, putting the light on the impressive work done by PP on this watch.
But, because there is a BUT, I'm not sure at all I love this watch ( which is a very good thing! LOL ).
I don't like the tortured sides of the case, nor the design of the perpetual calendar, even if it's certainly more laborated than a classic pc...
But to love or to not love it, it will certainly be a reference in the fine and refined world of High End Watches!
I will come back again anbd again to read your review, my friend.
Your job is a true masterpiece!
Best.

An ultimate dream come true: Patek Philippe 5207!
Baselworld 2008 was a rich show for Patek Philippe. We certainly had enough new offerings to please all Patek Philippe lovers. The simple watch amateurs got the marvellous 5124 Gondolo as a subject of admiration, the white gold version being a very appeal...
I had the same visceral reaction when I saw it in May . . .
. . . at the exhibit in Los Angeles . . . the 5207 is to watches what the Porsche 959 is to sports cars. I can't aspire to own one, but that doesn't limit my admiration and respect for Patek's achievement. Thanks, Dje, for showcasing this ephemeral fantas...
Dje, THANK you very much for this great post
I would love to see this watch Holding it for a while would be great, possessing it will NEVER be possibe
A complex watch indeed! Perhaps I should consider....
myself fortunate that I do not have a thing for the ultra complicated watch. What I find most attractive about this watch is the fact that it is so understated despite its complexity. A true Patek Philippe trait.

Thank you Dje. I really enjoyed that read
And what a super-watch indeed as you say - I am totally blown back in the seat I saw the pics of it from the launch and noticiced it immediately but have not seen much about it untill your report. I very like this mix of the cool and understated face comb...
Thanks Jerome for the super post :-)
I'm glad that the watch is way too big and thick for my wrist...phew As for the dial design, I'm not sure I'm liking it. It looks very Grand Seiko, if you know what I mean ;-) I still love 5016 and 5078...yum yum Lovesss*CL
My ultimate Patek.
This watch to me has it all, a modern design with classical undertones.Understated and unassuming yet it packs a most powerful punch.Taste and discretion reflected in a masterpiece from the highest echelons of watchmaking.What more is there? I am so unwor...
While reading your title, Fernando
I was believing that you will speak about your Celestial! LOLOL Wow, I didn't recover yet, from viewing your pics! Best. Nicolas
Nicolas,you
of all people should know that the ultimate one is always the one you don't possess. BTW,the first JLC Duometre came in today in RG. It's everything you said it would be and more.I was the first to see it but I didn't pull the trigger. Will wait for the P...
Jerome, many thanks
That was a fantastic article and read. I think that everything that could be said has been. I would love to see the watch - but I shall probably never be that fortunate. It has everything that I could ask for and I love the format for the Perpetual Calend...
A very indepth report, thank U for sharing .....
this is a useful report with tons of great informative information. I hope to one day see this piece in person, most probably inside Geneva boutique. I am thinking, would patek 5207 be more fun, if it was made with jump hour function ( just thinking out l...
sheerly enlightened , great job dje . . . .truly overwhelming mate! [nt]

Thanks very much for the wonderful report, some thoughts...
Hi Dje, First I want to thank you for taking your time to present this great report to us; having done a couple articles for the PuristS orginal years ago I understand how time consuming it must be to get everything together. Back to the 5207, just like t...
Lovely watch, thanks a lot
Thanks for a beautiful presentation of a lovely watch. Personally, I agree with the fact that the perpetual calendar has finally been done very well in the 5207. It has been overdone in a lot of Patek watches and it is a pleasure to see a watch that is an...
SUPERB!
One of the most beautiful watches (piece of art) I´ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing, I love this watch. Vte
Nice watch
It is a very beautiful watch. I hope that I can see the real one in the future. Thank you for your report. A great job.
