Patek Philippe

Dear Friends, it is with great pleasure that I can officially share with you four new remarkable "high jewelry" Grand Complications released today! Many thanks --- even more than usual! --- to Patek for sending this detailed material to be shared with my ...  

when I look at these, I at once marvel at the craftsmanship, yet disdain the 'flashiness' of this type of design.... A mixed batch of thoughts and feelings.... Thanks for the pics Fabrizio, Filip

Note the two models they take "inspiration" from, where pure horology is much more prominent: Ref. 5270 (of which we currently have three versions in catalog), and Ref. 6300. In particular, the latter is the worthy successor of the "Anniversary reference"...  

The way I tend to see it, one can pull it off (regardless of their sex - male, female and in between x) only if their sensibilities are such that they minimize absolutely everything about their presentation except the watch itself.... Then, in my mind, it... 

... but I honestly wouldn't be shocked if, at that level, even a 6300 might get "competition in the presentation" for some collectors! (A car? a plane? Or maybe really noting?? ) For sure, in this day and age, lots of people will be waiting to see the fir... 

due to my current line of work, I've found myself 'rubbing shoulders' with a few billionaires on a frequent basis, and I can tell you that 'your typical billionaire' (whatever that might mean), would never sport something along these lines on a frequent b... 

NOT with something like that on their wrist hawhawhaw.... The contract doesn't include a clause where it's OK to deliberately increase liability 300% .... The previous person I worked with bought a $50K Patek for his 72nd birthday.... The one I currently ... 

My favorite part is the clasp! I especially like the clasp! I've been thinking about this clasp since I saw the 5971!

Patek is reading this thread, so who knows, maybe they'll decide to reward a top-tier collector like yourself if you submit a request! All of these pieces, including the two 5271s, will of course be extremely limited despite their being in regular product... 

I'll have to treat myself when I have a better year. This year was already filled with some big treats and it already wasn't a good year.

Excuse my ignorance just genuinely curious.

FabR is not a Patek Philippe employee. FabR is a WatchProSite Moderator and is the Senior Patek Philippe moderator. Generally, Patek Philippe recognizes the WatchProSite audience as a major collector society and a legitimate internet discussion forum fill... 

Happy to help!

Of course, I have a good personal relationship with the Brand, and during the last three years, it's been both a pleasure and an honor to make some very important (sometimes exclusive) announcements on their behalf, to the benefit of this remarkable colle... 

I am really enjoying the the deep dive I can take here on rare handcrafts and patek in general

I think I would quite fancy just having the buckle jeweled, and the watch 'standard-issue' .... That way, in my mind, you get the best of both worlds! Cheers, Filip

My strange logic is that I would probably be more likely to scratch the clasp while typing on the computer. Therefore, to have diamonds on the clasp is practical, since diamonds are scratch resistant! Besides, I always like a coat to have the fur lining o... 

I'm with you on these buckles, they are simply works of art in their own right! I've been paying more attention to them since I got my 5088 last year --- its P buckle is hand-engraved to match the "Volutes and Arabesques" dial, and sometimes I stare at it...  

My favorite buckle is the 5160G buckle. It reminds me of the engravings of a Purdey gun. I'm very much a sweater person. I do like my wool and cashmere sweaters. I'm not big on scarves yet - I find that Europeans really know how to wear scarves and I find... 

A lot of brands do the buckle in white gold with a platinum cased watch. But didn't know that was going on in this specific case.

Similarly, for consistency, both the case and clasp of the 5088/100P are in Platinum. However, the base of the dial where the engraving is performed is again in G gold (and the black portion is enamel) Hand-engraved P case Hand-engraved P buckle The hand ...  

Thank you for correcting my confusion! It's a special piece!

With my lifestyle I just don’t see any instances where I can wear one of these. But they are gorgeous. (And expensive!)

...  

...  

those jeweled cufflinks are 'to-die-for'! That, I would get in a heartbeat ....

The closest ones in Patek's catalog that can be ordered via your ADs are probably these: Patek Philippe | Luxury Jewelry, Cufflinks, Rings & Accessories or even these: Patek Philippe | Luxury Jewelry, Cufflinks, Rings & Accessories Cheers.

I wasn't even aware of the assortment on offer.... Thanks for sharing the links, when I was at the boutique in Beverly Hills last summer, they had absolutely none ....

...  

They are perfect. Unbelievable the attention and time that goes into pieces like these. That side profile picture of the grand comp is crazy. No doubt there are some people who will buy 1 of each. That would be a nice set to have

Here's some information taken from Patek's site, if you or other members are interested in learning more on this most beautiful artistic craft of "gemsetting": PS: I frankly doubt many people will be able to get an allocation of one of each (especially w... 

I find the Patek product photography fairly ugly. The backgrounds and some of the angles are really unpleasant to look at.

So, umm, yeah... nice watches!!! Thanks for putting up with me, FabR!

...searching: "Patek replica watches"

…good thing you haven’t noticed yet : )

...  

WOW 🤩 factor ! All four are eye catching, and to me the blue sapphire ones look especially elegant. Thanks for sharing.

...those 5271s are incredible! If I could, I would rock them without question. Owning both would be amazing, switching from blue to red depending on your mood.

I'm sure that sooner or later at least one Patek will make its way into my collection...

All the best, Jon

I love its highly unusual all-red design, a color we VERY rarely see on a Patek Philippe dial! Cheers.

Firstly, thank you Fab for sharing this with us on the forum. The watches look spectacular, the quality of the design and gem setting is outstanding. Best regards Captain

I love diamonds on time pieces anyway and feel that these are some of the best looking in the market. A "standard" black dialed 5270P is already a spectacular watch but these here are from out of this world!

Are the clasps available for purchase?

Unfortunately, generally, they don't make the clasps available on their own.

As I recall 6300 being a favorite of yours FabR.... the gem set one would be even better for you is my take. I would think the blue one.... Personally I would not mind walking around with the red 5271, what a stunning piece with the red dial to complement... 

Hmm. It's possible somebody will be wearing a ruby watch with a Burgundy Red Soccer Jersey in Doha during the World Cup!

It’s a case that was built to be bejeweled. Thanks for sharing as always Fab.

The stones manage to do something that the elaborate engraved cases never seemed to do. It’s possible that they may even make the watch look a little more contemporary (something I’ve been discussing over on the Journe forum today). Can you imagine runnin... 

...these two gem-set versions of the reference (/400G and /401G) are highly likely to represent a "complete package" for some collectors! In fact, a romantic but reasonable reading is that, precisely because of these new interpretations, Ref. 6300 now "tr... 

would love to see you sporting one of these FabR!! And you Jay for that matter as well!! Would love to attend that GTG

I think you'll need to look no further for an unforgettable Christmas present this year, my friend! ;-)) Cheers.

Great new models and you capture them perfectly in your photos…Happy thanksgiving all…Jim

Thankfully, Patek has its own team of photographers (!) who recently did the amazing job you can see in this thread....while my contribution was simply to publish the finished product here for you! I know that your Patek collection is extremely strong, ev... 

Especially he 5271P in red is amazing

Please just note that while all four of these new models are technically in-catalog, production will be *extremely* limited... I doubt they will even be available as part of the carnet for client events this year, so for most people the best bet will just... 

with the 5271P red rubies - but can't think of this name right now.

I believe the gentleman currently does not have a personal WPS account. His Patek Philippe watches are truly second to none, so like all passionate collectors around the world, it would be fantastic if he joined WPS! ;-) If you're reading this Sir, I'll b...  

Surely his collection will amaze most of us ! If not all 😅

I never opened an IG account (and have zero intentions to open one! ), plus I don't like to ask things twice. But I'm sure this special Patek collector will be made aware of my invitation above to join my forum -- and he will be most welcome here if he de... 

Beautiful pieces indeed, thank you.

😃

🫣

They were not immediately available and I haven't yet, but I'm badly looking forward to, especially when it comes to the ruby....hopefully before summer! PS: I'm willing to place a bet right here F. that, if interested, given your collection you WILL --- ...
