Black Breguet 565... Wow
Who can not be a fan of breguet black dials.... The 5396G is sublime... The 5026G had it been 35mm it would be priced 3x+ I suppose but oh so beautiful... The recent 5170G is fantastic but in my dream world would have been 1-2mm smaller with a concave bezel... But have to say my fav black dial modern would be the 5960P (yes not breguet I know but hey life can not be perfect)! Then there is the 5125P of course... Arrrghhh

Patek Philippe: Black magic, The lure of the black Breguet dial
To own any Patek is a superb accomplishment. But for me the icing on the cake is to own a Patek with what I consider to be the most mesmerising of all the dial variations, the utterly gorgeous black Breguet dial (applied arabic markers). The most stunning...
Great post!
I just love coaxial registers on black dials with the Breguet applied numerals. The dial IMO is just so balanced. Best Joe
Very informative post.
I must say i learned a lot from your post. Much appreciated. Best Geross
An obscure example . . .
. . . ref 1543 . . . [image credit: winddown, watchprosite] . . . and there's also a less ornate similar model, the run of twenty ref 1578s in black for General Motors. Not a Patek guy myself, but either of these two noir references could find a home in m...
oh Imran. That black magic you weave so well....
What great review of some unknowns I have seen the 1578 but unfortunetaly the dial had been "tainted" I recently tried on the 5170 and I think PP has another stunner on its hands But my pockets are empty and for the moment I will have to live my PP life v...

A collection of dreams - thanks Imran.
I still hope that one day Patek would again find a reason good enough to make a Calatrava in steel. The case construction of 5565 plus a dial with Breguet numbers would be a dream. Thank you for a great post! Best, Kari
5565 cased black dial steel….
ideally with a new manual movement would make so much sense that it would be impossible to fathom…. what a masterpiece it would be. that along with a salmon dial rose gold or platinum rendition would be quite nice as well… dreams to dream
This is indeed a very nice combination
I'm preparing reviews of the 5940 and 5170 which are in your selection as they really bring something different and so attracting. Thanks a lot for sharing these beauties Imran. Cheers, Mark
I love this black magic
I actually fell in love with this ref 96 in steel few years back... Unfortunately when I received the actual Watch, the condition was far from being as per the picture (dial was even damaged). Thank God the US merchant did not argue at all andd gave me a ...
wow- shows you how pics can be misleading . Dial looks good . i bet you were disappointed
If I remember , you did post here about this watch Good luck in your search Julian
Oh my goodness, one of my dreams!!!
Congrats on one of my dream watches Steel Black dial Breguet numbers Chronograph Oh my I'll live my dream through you!
Thanks!
It seems we have the same dreams... ;-) Luckily some times our dreams come true. Steel + Black dial + Breguet numerals=The best of all worlds (imho)
A superb and very informative post!!
Thank you very much, Imran! I love the minute repeater, but also the 5940. All the best, Thomas
tan strap
where can I buy that color tan strap on the steel calatrava? PP doesn't offer that color but it looks of high quality.
