If only there was one for sale...
I think I would be very much tempted. It would be such a wonderful opportunity to have a modern Patek deeply rooted into the past with a genuine calibre from the 50s: a pure dream.
Maybe someday, who knows?
Enjoy your Sunday.

Patek Philippe Ref. 5105P-001 & its background
Created in 2006 to celebrate the reopening of Patek Phillipe’ s historical salon in the heart of Geneva after renovation, the ref. 5105P-001 (or simply 5105) is a modern interpretation of and tribute to the ref. 492 from the 1930s . A totally overlooked m...
With this rectangular shape I think I like Roman numbers better.
But both are very nice. Have a great Sunday. Best, Emmanuel
Very much up my alley 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Fabulous indeed 😊👍🏻 Thanks for sharing and for the comparison to the original 🙏🏻

Will keep my fingers crossed for you 😊🤞🏻
These probably don’t change hands that often 😉
As I've answered to amanico,
with the rectangular case, the Roman number works for me (I would even have liked the inclusion of the III and IX, like in the vintage examples). And it makes for a greater contrast with the sensuous manta ray case and Arabic numerals of the 5100 (I imagi...
I trust your experience, as you've seen both in real life,
but what a watch nonetheless! With the rectangular case, the Roman number works for me (I would even have liked the inclusion of the III and IX, like in the vintage examples). And it makes for a greater contrast with the sensuous manta ray case and Arabic...
Superb
This reference is my favourite modern PP out of some repeater models. I love modern watches with vintage calibres (I write this with my Omega 1894 on the wrist) and this one is the best.
Yes, having the best of both world is fantastic.
Unfortunately, this wonderful reference is very rare and the chances to find one are scarce. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, this Breguet 492 is wonderful.
That said, with such a rectangular case, the Roman numerals work for me. Thank you for the kind words! Best, Emmanuel
Hello Emmanuel, I LOVE the way
shaped movement fits in the case, but do not like the case from the front. Similar to manta ray but yet so different 😇
Yes, no “wings” here and no curves,
except for the lugs. The aesthetic is Lucy more severe than that of the Manta ray. Not to everyone’s taste, for sure. But it’s very ok for me, especially considering that you get a true vintage caliber in a modern case and watch. Cheers, Emmanuel
Absolutely!
And you really get the best from both vintage and modern worlds. A very special piece. Best, Emmanuel
It's a fantastic nod to the 30s,
with a Chrysler Building aesthetic. Unfortunately, neither the 5105 nor the 492 are likely to be found easily, let alone for a reasonable price... Best, Emmanuel
