Because of Miranda's (reasonable) recent post... I want to be tactful and respectful, as we should be here... I mean to say that many of Patek's pieces are 'absurdly under-creative' relative to their price. (This is an IWC? Montblanc? Zenith? Sinn...? with a high level complication in this case, essentially) I mean to say that this is recently somewhat de rigueur for Patek. Look at the brand new chrono--it's a Zenith/ IWC/ Sinn/ Zenith/Montblanc. BTW, I LIKE ALL THOSE BRANDS... BUT... So I call it the 'PP absurdity paradigm' to encapsulate the (for me) ridiculously absurd value-proposition (vs. originality/ creativity/ vs the old Patek value that made sense) They are currently responding to the casual-jeans and T-shirt, wealthy buyer who has not been traditionally their buyer--so now according to the 'Patek absurdity paradigm'--a dressed up blue dialed Sinn chrono is 70K plus watch... People will say all brands draw creatively from other brands... but... Patek shoudl be PATEK. Only because you asked, Nico!
