It's British slang..
Archie is Australian, but they use quite a lot of our slang!! It has its origins in a gambling, but can be used to mean group of people. Someone might say something like ‘your average punter’ meaning ‘your average guy’ . It’s also used as a term for men who frequent ladies of the night! One of those multi use context based slang words.

The most beautiful Patek Philippe Calatrava of all modern times..... 5107/5127
Hello Patek Punters, I am writing this article as we await a new replacement to the bread and butter Patek 5296 Calatrava. Patek ditched the 5296 in 2019 BaselWorld....... but what replaces it? The 5196 remains the entry position, manual wind with no disp...
The 5127 is my favorite watch, period
... and has been for many years. So why don't I have one? Well, that's a long story ... ;-)
The first photo being a close up shot sure looks like a perfect size.
But I just cannot imagine 37mm on a 6ft 300 lbs frame being perfect and 38mm too large.. you must have a very small wrist? Do you know the size of your wrist? Really curious. I am same height weight 187lbs (85kg) I find 39-40mm dress watches fit well and ...
Beautiful choice.
I love your enthusiasm for Patek. Keep the great posts coming. I like the 5127 a lot. It would make a great complement to my 5026 I think. ...
You write a very detailed analysis, thank you!
One thing though: i am pretty confident in saying that they are not going to replace the 5296. The 5227 is the replacement and i think this piece is much better as you describe it. Consider that they are willing to do amazing artworks on the case back fre...
Lol. I had the same question.
In the USA a punter is a position on an American football team. He is also called a kicker. I don’t know what a “Patek Punter” is. Would love to know.

Very interesting.
Thanks for the information. Never really heard of the word In that context. Maybe I’ll try to use it sometime and see how people react.
Awesome!
Would love to have this reference on a taupe Hèrmes strap. But the step from one to two Pateks feels daunting. What year did they stop the rhodium plating?
I have to agree with Archie....
Personally, the 5127 is my favourite Calatrava and I love the way that the shoulders come up to protect the screw-in crown. But in Rose Gold for me.
