Patek Philippe

In light of all the news and reactions about the 1976 - 40 - 2016 I have decided that I will pick up my 1976 - 4 - 1980 in the coming days from the bank and give it airtime and use the opportunity to make a nice wrist shot. This one speaks more to me, for...

to put my PP aside and start to wear something else. I had, as an example, nearly forgotten this Have a nice day all. Best, Kari ...  

One of the best Breguet and one of my favorite (for the future). So simple and so true to the genius of Breguet that used it in a pocket watch. It looks great on you! Christian

My attorney is taking care of our interests and my focus is in reading watchprosite and checking the time from my watch. I can't understand why did I forget ly Breguets... Best Kari

Universal Geneve Tri-Compax. Just had it finished servicing and wearing it for the first day. ...  

I let some steam come out and now I have a reason to enjoy forgotten watches. Best, Kari

I picked my PP 3700 tonight, I had forgotten it a bit but will now wear it for the rest of the week.

No Bling, no diamonds, no noble metal. Just steel, water resistance, great design. Just like the finest sporting watch of the world should be! Best, Kari

I sincerely hope you will not be parting ways with this piece but if you are, there would certainly be many good homes volunteering! I know of one personally Looking forward to that wrist shot and wear it in the best of health! KR

When I wrote this, I must\'ve been thinking of someone else! It was not my intention to assume. My apologies once again. KR

and would have been perfect without the extra writing on the dial. The baguette diamonds give this most elegant divers watch an even more elegant touch.

But the anniversary Nautilus models are nice, really nice to be honest! Rolex's anniversary Daytona was also not what people have expected but these Nautilus are much, much better than the Daytonas.

We usually don't judge Patek the same way we do with other brands. All about level of expectations (the higher they are, the more excessive the reactions are) but it is a problem when we can't see what remains nice anymore. Well spotted as usual dear coun... 

It takes time to see things differently. By way of example I searched for the reaction to the 30th anniversary- see link (I hope it is not against the rules to link to another forum) #msg_2209203 The initial reaction was generally negative, but the rest i... 

and forget it wasn't all green in the past (remember the 3700 appearance in 1976 or the 5070 for instance). Although we aren't on the same track either here with a diamond-set dial and this stamp. Moderation in our reactions is a positive behaviour imho T... 

thumbs up! HOWEVER; if they would have been true to their (old) fan base, thus heritage, they should have put out a modern steel 3700 re-run (you get the drift) for a reasonable price (€ 20K-ish or less). Maybe only 40 pcs. Maybe 1976 pcs. That would have... 

as you can see, Patek invites people to buy, as they have done in the past with some pieces too. Now it is all pieces and the possibility for the "fan base" is ... not existing anymore. Best Moritz

It has delved on me that a Nautilus should be really stainless steel cause its a sports watch. But the platinum 5711 with the bling is really a nice watch. I guess its this anniversary event that makes it special. But yours is really a functional watch. G... 

I've tried it once again last week and its thinness and dial simplicity are fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Mark

A 5711 without second hand

....in steel. Modest, pure but bolder than the 3700 with the bolder hands and indices. Perhaps they keep their gun powder dry for the 50th....

but maybe it is something they consider for the regular collection or for a more important occasion like the 50th? There are many good ideas for new launch in the posts we gathered on the subject this year. Cheers, Mark
