I would suspect that to most (women that is) size does

matter as it's a fashion statement of sorts (and I'm speaking of watches now). Now, that seems have had quite an impact on men as well given all of the big watches being made today.

I had a client in last week wearing a 5070 and while the watch is certainly beautiful, it seemed too large for him. He dresses impeccably but there was something that just didn't look right. The watch spoke at a distance and louder as he got closer.

But, to answer your question. Does size matter? Of course within reason, but where are the boundaries? Your watch looks perfectly fine on your wrist and is quite tasteful. It makes someone look and then look again. A hint of something special. In my opinion, far better than one which screams at you.

It reminds of ladies who bath in perfume for everyone within a mile to know compared to those who use just enough to catch your attention.

What a dilemma to have!

Its simply to thick/high Kamal 5204 will solve this problem for sure but will take a while for your dial/case combination to be available give the 5004 back to R, looks better on her for sure! ;) Ciao, Detlev

Thanks for your scans Kamal

I don't had the chance to try the 5004 but I remember quite well the 2499 , the 3970 and the 5970. And I had a problem with the 3970 with saphire caseback (It is not exactly the same with the metal one). The watch is beautiful, no doubt about, but I was d...

Oh gosh Kamal it looks way to small for your wrist.

The only way to get round this problem.............IS TO GIVE IT TO ME! :) It looks great on your wrist, I know that it sits quite high, but it is still a watch that I would love to own. and is one of Patek's rarest & hardest complicated watches to bu...

Think I arrived late with the BEST solution for Kamal's problem... :-(

D@#& you, Tony! LOL! :-)

I am not clear on the size issue you have...

By: watch-er : August 4th, 2012-14:23

the watch fully fits your wrist and I would not go larger. The bigger they get relative to wrist size, the more damaged they get as the watch takes the hit instead of the wrist, food for thought.

+1. 100 % agree with that. [nt]

Kamal--it looks fantastic!! I only wish...

That is was on my wrist! LOL

Size is relative...

By: fernando : August 5th, 2012-20:09

and IMO it fits you well. However, if the 5204 is incoming, it would make the perfect his & hers set. Some of us can only dream......:) Fernando

The only problem ...

I see is that the 5004R should look gorgeous on your lovely wifes wrist: Even when she seems to be comfortabel with "bigger" watches as well :-) You should share it with her. From my point of view it fits you both. Oliver ps: Hope you don´t mind that I us...
