Doomo Bob!
Arigatou man! Thanks for the comments! Yup, the dial is one of the main parts that attracts me to this watch, but the biggest reason is that beautiful tonneau case in Platinum! The forging of it is simply amazing, together with the curved sapphire crystal, just drop dead gorgeous!
And Patek did a wonderful job in bringing back such an iconic watch, for times such as these!
The lack of a seconds hand , would be a must for me if the system hacks. But since Patek's dont hack (yea i know about the reverse hack thing which i would never do to my watches,so the actual hacking with a lever) i do in these case prefer a 2 hand watch, and i think 2 hand-ism doesnt get better than this! For now at least..... But seriously, it'll be hard to beat this little fellow....
Will post the wrist shots, when i get the piece in da house, and very importantly, a camera too.....
Mata ne!

i love it !!! A lot of congrats on such a nice Patek. That dial looks stunning .... Filip
Congratulations!
Stephen, that is surely one of the nicest "simple" PPs -- one of the nicest period, IMHO. What a great first choice! It kind of toes the line between the round and rectangular "debate" that is going on elsewhere on the forums here, doesn't it? What a wond...
Congratulations Stephen
Hi Stephen, Congratulations for choosing such a marvel ! I've loved it since I put it on my wrist on the opening day of Basel 2007! I hope to offer myself a Patek Philippe someday and I'd be happy to pick this one first, even if there are some more reacha...
Beautiful piece Stephen :-).....
Congratulation. I have tried this once on my wrist and I must say it is simply gorgeous. The Dial work is as beautiful as a Dufour Simplicity........it glows And when it turns to the back, what a beautiful rec movement. But most importantly, this watch si...
this is a nice one
If my bankaccount would allow it, I would probably buy this piece. Saw it once IRL and I loved it
Congratulations, Stephen!
Wow! I've always loved the Chronometro Gondolo. The look, the simplicity and especially, the "tonneau" shape of the case. It was beautiful in 20's and it is beautiful still, today. The guillochéed dial is an amazing example of craftsmanship. Although it d...
Congratulations, Stephen!

You're an unbelievable friend, Stephen... For you it's easier to get a nice watch than a common camera...LOLOL Big congrats, my friend, this is really a nice catch... Take these plactic pats off and wear it, now! LOL Best. Nicolas
Congrats ! It's a superb watch !
I love the feeling of the difference between the heavy case and the thin and light strap. Fr.Xavier...
Thanks for the photo my friend!
From the lighting in this photo, the watch looks patinated in a way(especially at bezel around 6o'clock), and the Platinum seems to have turned liquid yet hold its form! And i love this effect! It looks even antiquated here, and totally gorgeous! Nice cat...
Sadly... it is not mine !
This pic was taken in the PP shop of Geneva... but what a pleasure to wear it ! Fr.Xavier...

Begin your own tradition!!!
Lovely post. It reminds me of my response to getting my first PP recently. I kept playing with it & admiring it whenever I was free. Don’t know about the “start your own tradition” bit as my daughters’ response to this endless & unabashed admiration was a...

Your 5196P, is indeed a very beautiful and nice choice as well! I had the opportunity to handle it once again this evening, and thoroughly enjoyed feeling it so much! As for your questions, I am able to help you in some of them. About the diamond at 6 o'c...
