Lots of great comments here.
For me I wear a lot of very large watches so it really limits my appetite for most Pateks. The 5207 size is far preferable to me than the 5372 but I appreciate the size of the latter is far more classic Patek. Great to see the wrist shots. I have never had the pleasure sadly.
No doubt lots more bizarre auction results to follow over the next few days. My paddles are fully charged and ready to go!
Just curious: any 5372P owner out there?
Not much discussion here since it was released. Thanks! Images from Patek's website. ...
I may be wrong here
but I think the 5531R is a lot more money. I too would take the 5531R over almost any watch of any brand!
Really??!!
I am shocked. I know the 5531R is about £420k to £425k in the UK. Will speak to my AD tomorrow to find out the price of the 'other watch'. If they are priced in the same bracket, that would be ludicrous. A 5950 or 5959 (I know, I know they have been disco...
So sorry for the delayed reply
The 5372P costs about 10% lower than the 5531R so you are right in that it is in a similar price bracket which explains why the 5372P is unlikely to be a big seller.
That's what I was wondering too, but I was told yesterday that the 5531 are just starting to be released here...Italy will probably get 3 or 4 , and only to previous MR owners, which sounds fair enough...
Not sure about other countries though. I'm also (badly) looking forward to some nice wristshots from the lucky owners!
The case size
at 38.5mm was so right that I thought it would attract many purists to it. But the dial of the 5370P despite its 41mm diameter is arguably more attractive. I know a few purists who are eagerly awaiting for launch of the the 5370R!!
I agree that there are more attractive dials out there
5372's dial disappointed me at the beginning, but would love to see it in person, I'm sure it's "not that bad" 😉
Unfortunately, at this price bracket
a dial that is 'not that bad' would not suffice. It has to be pretty incredible at the very least!
Very few
I suspect. The super high end market is not as robust as it was in the early 2000's.
By my calculations I'd need a net worth around $100 million before I could afford a watch like this.
I currently have to live vicariously through watch forums.
Cool piece for sure
Perfect size, subdials arranges in a very appealing and symmetric manner, amazing complications in a wonderful case.... But personally financial reasons aside, it would not be my first pick in that stratosphere. Perhaps it is the cutouts on the dial that ...
I know we don’t discuss prices but.......
........when you see 5207s hammer at usd500k inc commission it does make you wonder about the state of the market for modern super Complication Pateks.
True
But this kind of watch I would personally not wear on a regular basis.... if I had to pick one for daily use you are correct!
This is way out of my budget, but I would wear it on a daily basis (office environment) if I could afford it.
To me, a PC doesn't make any sense if you don't wear it for long periods, so that you can enjoy the complication.
I do agree on that watches are to be worn...
And he size and understated dial options make this an ideal daily candidate. Still not my top pick in this price range however.... even for a daily office watch...
if we were to play the game... of pick any watch of choice made by PP in similar price range beyond my current reach with the requirement of daily wear... then
for me I would have to go with any one of the below, in no particular order or preference - 3670A - 5950A - 5004A - 5951P black dial.....
I have seen the watch in person but never in my wrist unfortunately....
I am sure it feels great on the wrist as size is perfect....
I tried on the salmon/champagne dial version of this reference
It is beautiful. Complications are amazing. But... no love at first sight...
Thank you JC/!
I like the "more real look" of your pictures. Definitely I'm sure that it's a piece that gains a lot in person. And also curious about the size, which looks perfect on paper.
The size IS perfect.
I love the work on the case with the two tone polishing But again, no love at first sight. Which is a shame on such a complicated piece ! But Which is good as I had no budget I had a real emotion when I first tried a 5078p... and this is why I pulled the ...
I agree, I don't buy any piece (at any price point) if I don't have a real emotion when I try it on
Btw, the 5078 is a work of art, "simplicity" at it's best!

The 5372P is one of my favourite modern grand complications!
Last year I was in the market for a Patek rattrapante, budget was not a consideration as I was celebrating a special occasion. Firstly, I agonised over the 5204P, before I concluded that it lacked something and that I was mesmerised by it for the wrong re...
