Patek Philippe

Back after a few years !

Hi all time is definitely flying and I realised I have not been here for a while.
At least I have tons of posts to view 😊

Although I kinda paused a bit my « passion » for timepieces I decided to pull the trigger on a watch I have been fond of since it got released..

Let’s call it an early Xmas haha

Originally looking at the rose gold one I hesitated a lot as less a fan of brownish models… and I remember telling the staff member of the salon that it would have been so great if it existed in steel or WG…and cherry on top in blue dial

Well seems like I was prob not the only one asking as they released not long after that exact model and in a smaller size (since my wrist is still that tiny…)

They call it the women’s model but I found it a better fit than the bigger model tbh ..

Anyway I told my wife I would stop getting new watches but here I am …

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

And merry Xmas to all of you purists fellow !

hope you have been well since we met last time, i think was actually trying on yours! (but the Singap version) hehe it must have been a sign

Looks so good on you...

...who cares if it's marketed as a woman watch? Congrats.

yeah well i hve to say it bothered me a bit at the beginning as the strap is a bit thiner but i'm not regretting

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:12

as the size is really the biggest i could get on my small wrist. Looks odd otherwise. thanks ! Kev

I was recently admiring this piece in the catalog.

Really, a women’s model??🤔 Doesn’t strike me as such at all, plus it fits perfectly, so that’s what matters. Enjoy in best of health.

yeah well clearly it's big fo a women's watch but i guess the trend is for big dial it seems though

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:13

i'm happy with the small ones tbh

That does NOT at all strike me as a woman’s

By: myles721 : December 20th, 2023-13:07

watch (no judgements ladies😉) enjoy!!!

thanks !

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:13

Very functional with understated elegance.

By: Uncle Chico : December 20th, 2023-13:13

Hopefully you neglected to mention to your wife how the manufacturer describes it. Otherwise you might find it on her wrist.

yeah haha she is already looking at my 36mm jlc ultra thin that i also got from women's collection as fitting my wrist better

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:14

You and I on the same page on that one.

By: Jay (Eire) : December 20th, 2023-14:10

I almost bought the yellowish rose gold original ladies pilot (I didn’t because the alloy was actually more yellow in the smaller case than the larger case size). When they released this one I said I’d buy it for sure, but it hasn’t happened yet ! A cool ...

yeah there was something about it i did not like, but yet still liked it a lot haha. Almost pulled the trigger in one of the boutique in london but finally decided to hold off until i find THE one i really liked

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:14

This is definitely one cool watch! Big congrats to you!

thanks a lot

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:16

yeah one that was unexpected but clearly not regretting it!

Right size for your wrist.

tx !

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:16

Big congrats, it suits your wrist beautifully! 👌🏻

By: 1WatchMan : December 20th, 2023-22:48

Welcome back 😉

Welcome back Kev and we

By: GLau : December 21st, 2023-03:06

look forward to reading more of your posts and collection ! This pilot 🧑‍✈️ looks very comfortable resting on your wrist ! The size fits, especially given the pushers enlarging its presence optically. 👍

yeah love the size honestly it's great

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:17

the pushers were scaring me a bit initially as i thought they would make it look much bigger but i'm actually used to it now, and i sometime wear it on the right hand which makes it less odd with the pushers though.

Merry Christmas to you

By: Rastro : December 21st, 2023-15:34

as well and to all the other Purists 🎄 watch looks great 😊

Thanks a lot !

As others have said…

By: Chromatic Fugue : December 30th, 2023-16:45

this is most assuredly not a “ladies’ watch” — it’s 37.5 mm, and there’s no universe in which that’s too small for a regularly sized man. Also, the large dial and slim bezel give it even more wrist presence. If I were in the market for a pilot’s watch (an...

thanks so much

By: Watch_kha_wen : January 3rd, 2024-16:11

indeed i've been luring this watch for a while, almost bought it in Paris, then again in London, and even decided to stop with watches (as at the end i don't wear that many...) but pulled the trigger last minute on that one thinking that it's the very las...
