A modern version of Ref. 3414, called "Cobra" ...
Will we ever see one from Patek Philippe, again? Could this be one of the big surprises for the 175th Anniversary? The original one (prototype) was produced in 1958/59 and the caliber inside was the famous 9-90 - for some the best/most interesting rectang...
Anything is possible
But I will be shocked if they do it… It would become instant legend/collectirs piece
I am very surprised to read that Patek created this watch in ... 1958!
Wow! That is some pre funky creation! Thanks for the information, Oliver. That is some unusual Watch, design and style, from the Calatrava Cross Brand. Best, Nicolas
Flabbergasted, Astounded, Gobsmacked......
Astonished and Surprised to see for the first time this PP!!! Is this for real??? Fantastic...the cal 9-90 that is. I wouldn't dare think that PP had the audacity to produce such a bold wrist watch. Wow! Very impressed indeed. Cheers Francois from Down Un...
Absolutely Miranda, very impressed indeed!!
As everyone, I new PP had made some quartz watches, which was kind of, "the norm" at a certain time;) but this bold, futuristic approach in 1958..wow! +1 to Patek Philippe from my view point for Audacity, which is what I really like in JLC for example. Ch...
Thank you Oliver, I have only one world......
Stunning! Did PP only make 1 prototype? Not sure that I would purchase this particular one but I think that it could work with a re-designed bracelet/strap..and a different case on the same theme. I can really see some potential here. Cheers Francois from...
You know my thoughts...
I have always LOVED this PP and hope and pray for a modern version take on the cobra. ;)
Always loved the Cobra but I doubt PP will ever launch a new version...
When you see such old prototypes you realize how deep PPs problem / lack of creativity is nowadays. When did PP launched the last watch where you could really say "wow"? Guns N' Roses would say that PP lost its "appetite for destruction". They don't blow ...
I would be miffed beyond belief if the bring out a remodel of the 3414
with a 9-90 movement I just sold my last kidney to buy the 5105 and the 5235 so I will not be able to buy it. I NEED it for my 9-90 obsesssion ;-) Seriously it would be great and I hope that PP brings out something ground breaking for 175 anniversary
If they bring it …you will need more than kidneys, liver , eyes , heart…
My estimate is that it would be at least £200k
