Patek Philippe:Baselworld 2018 Review

 
 By: Miranda : March 26th, 2018-05:32
Once again Patek Philippe excelled at the annual watch pilgrimage we call Baselworld. There were standout pieces and here I will give an overview the new collection. I hope to do more in depth reviews of each piece over the coming months. So to start with...  

On the 5205G the other improvement are the hands

Which now allows for lume versus older models

Incredible piece! [nt]

Aquanaut chromo for me subject it does not feel too big on the wrist. Best, Kari

Questions about the Aqua

 
 By: Poky : March 26th, 2018-06:04
I am not sure if I have understood it correctly; if the watch comes with both straps, will a tool to exchange them be included? Any idea on how easy it would be to exchange between the two colours? Any information on whether the new clasp be rolled out to... 

perfectly put! [nt]

I always look forward to reading these knowledgeable and beautifully written reviews!

Thanks for the summary review!

 
 By: Joepny : March 26th, 2018-07:35
I enjoyed Patek's 2018 novelties even though we did not see a major technical introduction like the 5650G last year. Okay, we have to talk about the 7150R a little bit more. I think it's place in the Patek catalogue is under appreciated because it is a wo... 

Top Marks!

Thank you for a wonderful review and most amazing pictures taken! Really love the new releases... the 5740 is my grail! The Blue dial on the 5205G looks fantastic! And wow the new Aquanaut Chrono looks fantastic in your pictures! Thank you for posting!

Thank you for your amazing review, the 5270P is a no brainer, wow what a watch.

 
 By: Maltie : March 26th, 2018-07:54
Very helpful to plan my purchases, and my wife adores the 7150/ 250R. I know what to get for our next wedding anniversary.

Thank you …

This review...

 
 By: VintageAlex (aka AlexKontiki) : March 26th, 2018-09:25
Is awesome, Miranda. Thanks so much my friend. Particularly I love the pilot 37.5 mm and the 5968A, truly convinced to buy one. All the best Alex

Thank you Imran for a superb review! Do you think that 5740 or...

the new aquanaut be more sought afternoon and why ?

Darn, I need to sell my limbs and kidneys to pull the trigger ! Actually I will pass on the ...

 
 By: GLau : March 26th, 2018-10:58
5740 because this watch would be more meaningful in steel case & bracelet!

I agree 100%.

 
 By: dr.kol : March 27th, 2018-11:16
If 5740 would be made of steel, I would have ordered it already. Best, Kari

Awesome....

photos! Thanks for posting, cheers, Filip

Cheers bro! [nt]

+1, the 7150 is one of the best vintage chronograph designs I've seen recently

 
 By: Joepny : March 26th, 2018-12:55
It is too bad it is meant for the ladies. 38mm size and the casebook movement side looks perfect because the calibre does not have to be boxed in by blank space.

Most welcome sir! [nt]

 
 By: Miranda : March 27th, 2018-11:32

Lovely report. Wonderful summary and great photos. Thanks for sharing!

 
 By: keks : March 26th, 2018-13:23
I hope you had a great visit to BW! Overall another good year for PP I think, very happy to read the overall positive response to the new releases. Now I have to digest!

Mate my pleasure! [nt]

I know no one virtually will care...but for posterity...

 
 By: Mostel : March 26th, 2018-16:33
Patek... to me...is like the ultimate fraud. As a serious watch collector who owned many Pateks (including the beyond-ludicrously over-rated Nautilus, which I sold in a few months because it felt so cheap even at the under 17K I paid new... the first year... 

I would not go as far as your first statement

 
 By: MTF : March 26th, 2018-21:21
mostel, I would not go as far as you did with your first statement. Every brand will have the same issues with product, position, pricing, etc and not every model will be Internet stars nor auction house divas. I held out for many years from buying Patek ... 

Thanks for the write up

 
 By: Wristenthusiast : March 26th, 2018-19:49
Thanks for the write up and pictures. I have yet to make it to a Baselworld. It looks fun and exhausting.

 By: MTF : March 26th, 2018-21:30
miranda, Thanks very much for the hands on summary with relevant changes highlighted. All the obvious questions and what-ifs have been asked already like "Why only 60-min chronograph; is there insufficient space in the Aquanaut case?" I note your reluctan... 

Oui Oui Mon Ami :o)

he he he. .. MTF

Surprisingly I really like the 5740G

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 28th, 2018-01:03
Not a big fan of the Nautilus or Perpetual Calendar, but this one comes off as very clean. Not cluttered as most PC do. Thank you for a great report, my friend! Best Blomman

I love Patek but!

 
 By: GreatPilot@me.com : March 30th, 2018-18:05
I am like the others, want the SS aquanaut, and the perpetual Natilus but I recently bought a JLC Duometre enamel dial and two Mosers (one SS perpetual, one concept). PP is a wonderful watch, own 8 of them and all but one have increased in value, however ...
