When it comes to cameras - Patek Philippe ref 5088 pictures.
I have to admit that my skills are woefully lacking. My sister however has been honing her skills with a camera and has even exhibited some of her work. And so I asked her to take a few shots and this is what she sent back to me. These are a few I picked ...
Thanks
The watch you are referring to is the 5088p It's a platinum watch made for basel 2012 as a limited edition. It features a black enamel dial with engraving and the same on the case sides and lugs. Sincerely H.
To see the Ref. 5088 in such a nice way ...
is simply great. Whenever I see one I have to think about the 16 hours just needed for the engraving of the dial. It´s an awesome piece. Your sister did a very good job, but I hope she did also send back the watches and not only the pictures :-) The Ref. ...
Thanks Oliver
For your kind words. Yes there are movement shots... But I'm saving those for a later Post :) Sincerely H.
100
I know it was 50 in the beginning but I was told they increased it to 100 … not sure if this is correct
I am not aware of that change ...
and as a owner I would not like it, for sure. Thanks, Bruno! Oliver
Way I see it is
If they did produce more than 50 when they said all they would produce is 50' then it's a problem for Their PR department and speculators who asked for the watch on the basis that there would only be 50. For an owner who appreciates what he has and has an...
thanks for this :
"For an owner who appreciates what he has and has an emotional connection to his watch, it's less important." perfect answer and I agree! About the 50 or 100, like said, I'm not sure but I think it was William ( well known mod from another site) that gave...
H. Your 5088P is very interesting and special !!
It is the first time that I have seen this piece. The engraving is very nice !! How many pieces were made ? From the photos, the color of the engraving on the dial and the hands is the same. Does it make reading the time a bit challenging ? Cheers, Gordon...
Thanks Gordon
As far as I know 25 pieces were made. With regard to telling the time , you are right. I find myself mesmerized by the dial at times and forget to actually read the time. At night it can be somewhat difficult to know the exact time, but this watch isn't a...
Agree with you H in that ...
... the focus of this watch is about the artistry of the engraving, and not telling the exact time (which is really secondary)
beautiful 5088P
Hi Thornteq: You are very lucky to have these rare handcraft watches. How do you feel about your 5089G? Do you like color sailboat more or engrave sailboat?
Thanks watch-fan, I count my blessings
every day. All the rare handcraft pieces offer beauty and quality worthy of ownership. The 5089 with engraved dial has a subtle, understated and old world charm that i found hard to resist. I hope Patek continues to develop motifs that excite and delight ...

Hi, Watch-fan, are these
Auction results referencing the Artpiece or the perpetual calendar chronograph ?
Very rare engraving and painting combination
The more I see it, the more I like it. Thanks to your friend for shooting and to you for posting H' :) Cheers, Mark
Thanks Mark, I'll convey your
Appreciation to my sister when she's back from her trip abroad. Maybe I can ask her to take a few shots of the 5089 as well! All the best H.
Question
Hi Thornteq: Does PP produce 5088P in different style every year ? Just curious. When is the first year PP PRODUCE 5088P?
