Loving gold again, 5975J outdoors
Just got this a couple of weeks ago. To start with, i am not a yellow metal guy, and if i had to pick, i'd choose Rg over Yg.
It's just the natural choice of metal for the vintage feel of this watch. I was very surprised how the yellow gold suits it. I saw the Wg, and was a bit disappointed. it felt cold with no contrasts, nothing really interesting that catches the eye. While the yellow was love at 1st sight.
Loving gold again...

As I said before, the most interesting and nice looking case and lugs from Patek (to me)
I tried to order one in WG the week it was announced (and write to M. Stern a nice letter from whom I sadly had no reply) but unfortunately couldn't manage to file for one. Great congratulations Fricks, it's a beautiful watch (my favorite with maybe the 5...
Congrats! I agree, the J version ...
is the best when we talk about the Ref. 5975. Nice to see quite a few here with fellow PuristS. Best, Oliver
Thanks Oliver...
i haven't seen yet the platinum. But i like the idea of having the one that matches best the dna of the watch :)
There was a time ...
when I was interested in "black dials" only. Today I prefer the best version for each model. The former was more easy ... :-)
Same thing...!!
exactly what i am looking for now, the best version of a model. And as you said, it was easier, now we must first of all break preconceived ideas, and our own stereotypes... But so much more interesting
RG and brown straps are killer combo...this YG looks surprisingly good!
Congratulations and enjoy. Rgds Raymond
For Patek for sure, for fans, not so sure...
... we are turning our gold into watches, they are turning their watches into gold ;) They are getting richer, not so sure we are. Thank you
gold is warm , you feel its presence
like a lovely lady holding your hand , yellow gold really makes it presence felt. lovely watch. especially like the dial. congrats. cheers geross
Nicely put...
didn't look at it this way before, but you are making me thinking about which lady would be holding my hand :)) Thank you
Congrats Frick on getting this special piece !!
Hope it brings you generations of joy. Cheers, Gordon
Thanks Gordon...
... i was hoping at least until the 200th anniversary :) Happy holidays!
Bravo!
Sure, the P version maybe the most collectible one (only hundred), but I don't care. The most beautiful one is the J way by far, though I was not the yellow gold guy, too. Can't wait to get mine. Matches perfect the spirit and design of the watch. Huge Co...
