Patek Philippe

Better in Blue IMHO...

I have always liked the 5124, but never quite well enough to buy one...although tempted.

After seeing the new Patek releases this year though, the 5124G with the BLUE dial quickly pushed me into pursuit mode. This image got stuck in my head:

So, after expressing my interest with my dealer here in Hong Kong about a week ago, I was pleased to get a call yesterday stating she had received the new piece.

I am quite excited about the look of this one as it is quite different than most of my other pieces. It has a silky smooth manual caliber neatly displayed behind the cambered sapphire back, and oh those sexy art deco case lines. At 33mm x 43mm I like the size also. The only thing that could be better would be platinum (in my opinion).

Complimented by a lovely blue alligator strap and the pin buckle, this one is a winner.

My quick shots...

Congratulations on a superb acquisition. I'm hoping to get one too and seeing your pics just give me more incentive, thx!

Good luck!

To me, it is quite a different piece to add some flavor to the collection, and at a reasonable (for Patek) price. Dave

I find this 5124G an outstanding alternative to a Calatrava. I must admit that just on Thursday evening I visited Tiffany in the 5th Avenue and discussed this watch. I got there Patek Salon quality of service and Tiffany promised to inform me next week ho...

Congratulations to your latest addition to your already stunning collection. This shows that at entry level you can have all what defines a brand and makes a particular manufacturer so desirable. Best Moritz

It is a new thing for me but I love it

As I said before, I never was a fan of square or rectangular watches but since I had a look at many Gondolos that have been posted here (5100, 5200 usually), I'm beginning to really like them. I've been closely looking at some pictures of this new model o...

Congrats Dave, this watch looks very attractive and to certain degree quite

By: GLau : May 16th, 2015-08:06

regal, especially with the blue dial. As soon as I saw it on Patek's new watches for Basel 2015, I liked it immediately. Perhaps you could wear it to the Monday Hong Kong GTG with Thomas and show other PuristS. Cheers, Gordon

Would love to join you...

Now this one with this mesmerizing blue dial added to the the great form caiber visible through the saphyre back, WOW !!! I love it too : IMHO it is a good mix of classicism and modernity. My 5024G salmon color dial corresponds more to my style but I must...
