great pics and report

Thanks a lot for the wonderful coverage, Imran and the pic quality is superb!

Just want to comment on the am/pm indicator of PP. I have the 5960 which has the am/pm indicator and I find it confusing sometimes. The change from black to white or vice versa is gradual, so there are period when it shows in-between. At 6 and 18 hours, the sky looks exactly the same, you can't tell if it is dawn or dusk. You will face the same issue in the few hours after that as well. Am I the only one having this trouble? I have a JLC with the am/pm indicator, that is a more sensible display, you will not get it wrong unless you are so close to the pole areas. A Lange has that black and white dot as well, can anyone share their knowledge?

Basel 2011 report!

By: ImranLondon : March 28th, 2011-06:59

A very interesting year for Patek, as Dje has already said, it has been the year for complications. So lets start with the fifth generation classic perpetual cal. with chronograph. Anything trying to follow the 5970p needed to be special, I belive with th...

Thank you for your report Imran

Hi, Thank you for your report and live pics! Don't you have a comparison picture of the 5970P with the 5270G? Cheers Dje

Imran thank you for your personal report............

Thnaks Imran! Not liking the 5270 because...

the 24 h sudial has been replaced with a coloured dot apparently based on 06/18 h. ...Huge Mistake Patek Philippe! The least you can do is base it 00/12 h so we know via the time indicated by the watch, where we are in the 24 h cycle which makes a day. Th...

The stars of the show are probably the first three watches; the new perpetual calendar chronograph, the new Aquanaut, and the retrograde perpetual calendar. Thank you for providing such extensive coverage of photos on my three favorite pieces of this year...

Thank you, Imran for your very interesting report!

Just a few comments. With regard to the 5164A, I confirm that I dislike it, especially for the push-button's shape and the date indicator by hand. The 5496P is a charming timepiece, but I'd have preferred the date ring not to be cut by the leap year apert...

Nice report!

Liking the new 5960 and that 10 Days Tourbillon! Wow!

So fast that I could help Cambridge winn the next boat race! Your pictures proved that the evolution of the aquanaut made sense: it just loked odd on the photoshop images. It looks now like a very usable and very well designed watch with nice functions: a...

Thank you Imran

Much appreciated pics! Hmmm... Patek just leaves me cold these days... I used to LOVE Patek SO much.... Shrug.
