Patek Philippe

Hey fellow watch aficionados! For the longest time, I've been just a "looky loo" here on the Patek blog...until now I recently took delivery of my holy grail piece, the Patek Philippe 5135R with special black dial and I absolutely LOVE it! Patek only made...  

It's a great feeling finding your Grail and if it happens to be a rare version, it does not make it any worse. Best, Kari

The black dial is special and looks sharp ! What was the occasion (and history) behind this 100 piece limited edition for the Russian market ? Cheers, Gordon

Patek made 100 pieces special for its new boutique in Russia: Mercury Jewellers. They made another special watch for them: 5960G with blue dial in white gold. Also 100 pieces.

Welcome to this wonderful forum. You have a beautiful watch , thanks for sharing your joy. Cheers. Geross

and this one does look great, must confess that I was not aware of this one with black dial huge congrats!

Indeed congratulations and I'm glad you appreciate reading our forum. You were looking for the 5960P blue dial, did you finally get it? Anyway, it is so cool to be able to get the piece we are strongly looking for, especially a rare one like this limited ... 

No, I never got the blue dial 5960. I still love that watch but this one stole my heart once I learned of it. I had to have it

Gorgeous! Enjoy

I like the fine colour combination and the very special shape. Enjoy your watch and wear it in good health! Do you also have a shot of the back? Best, Thomas

A few weeks ago I added the 5135G to my collection and I have to say this one looks even better !! enjoy wearing it
