Case shape, steel, unusual complication, very thin movement, and on top of that...STEALTH!
I have many watches on my list that I would buy if I won the lottery, but this is at the very top.
Hi All, The theme of our recent GTG was “chronograph” watches proposed by me and the participants really SHOCKED me with their collection in terms of
number of pieces, rarity, and diversity ! How many do you count ? Other than inspecting the chrono watches, this GTG was as usual about friendship, drinking/food, and gossips, hence a very fun time ! Need to wreck my brain now to think of the next theme t...
Hi Nicolas, you counted correctly ! Perhaps you need to
drink more wine while reading posts
The most impressive PP chronograph in terms of finishing.
Once seen all the other chrono movements fall short.

The rest of you may see 30 beautiful Patek chronographs...
but I only see one! (I bet you can guess which one I mean)
As great as they are (incl. the 5370P!), I'm partial to the 5970's complete package. Still remains my Patek grail.
Amazing set of Patek chronos. Must have been a joy to attend and see them all. Cheers, John
yes, my
eyes popped out when I saw what the participants brought ! Also had a heart attack as well !
5950a on a bracelet - exactly like that! is my Patek grail.
But what a lineup. That must have been a lot of fun
superb ! but -1 for the sealed patek 🧐
Sad to keep such a watch in a box..and to bring it at a gtg no less..to admire the carboard box? 🤭
Hi christianch, good observation ! The cardboard box is
quite interesting because they are no longer allowed to be kept by collectors.
Why pick one metal?
Get them all! Based on packaging I'm guessing 4 or 5 collectors? Quite the collection of chronos. Thanks for sharing!
Good guess on the number of participants !
FYI, 3 collectors contributed most of the watches.
If there are 4 attendees in your GTG
Then I can sense each attendee having their own Patek Chrono theme, ranging from leather to modern to vintage! Awesome GTG!
Great post Gordon! I have 2 preferences, a question and a recommendation
Incredible number of extremely appealing watches, but top 2 for me are 5950A and 5970J London Edition. Exclusivity, complication, aesthetics and timeless appeal. Question - about how many attendees were there? Recommendation for next GTG - Vintage or if n...
Wow, another (the 5th) vote for the 5950A ! What
do you like about the piece ! Naturally I agree with you that 5970J London Edition is a grail ! FYI, 4 participants for this GTG with 3 contributing most of the 30 pieces BTW, thanks for your suggestions for the theme of the next GTG
Gordon, thanks for your reply. What I like about 5950A is that it perfectly combines a vintage appeal with a delightfully shaped case.
Also, it has a classically inspired dial. But underneath that dial is a highly complex and desirable complication housed in a very thin modern movement. All that plus steel and matching steel bracelet. Oh yes, forgot one important factor… it is beautiful!...
What a great experience to be able to play with so many beautiful Patek chronographs in one event.....
Thanks for showing us all these wonderful watches. My favorite pieces are the 2 London Grand Exhibition LEs, 5950A and 5370P.
That’s an impressive collection!
I have not seen the 2015 London LEs in real life. They both look very cool !!
