Patek Philippe

Made my choice...5124g it is!

 

Thank you to all of you my friends, who gave me your thoughts. In the end, I went with the piece which I felt represented something unique in my watch collection, plus pairs well with my 5098r. I have to admit, price and affordability is also key. Its my first white gold piece, plus salmon dial and rectangular shape. My other pieces are Chopard luc quattro 16 1863 Chopard luc sports 2000 Girard Perregaux RG 4930 ( chronograph) Rolex turn o graph 116261 Rolessor ,black dial I'm happy to have my first shaped watches from Patek's Gondolo line. Just so beautiful with all the curves and Art deco influence. Some early pictures for now...the wrist shots will follow soon! Rishi



The dial colour does change significantly with lighting






Lovely arched profile that snugs the wrist




Trying to catch the beveling on the bridge edges

Always look forward to your replies. I'm beginning to feel that I have a bias attraction to Gondolo shaped watches. The case design and estatics are just extra unique . A bonus this time is that the movement carries the geneva seal as opposed to the Patek... 

Dear Rishi,

It’s really great to have two different variants of this caliber: one with the Geneva Seal and the other with the PP Seal! And I understand so well your taste for the shaped Gondolo watches! I wish a very nice weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Tq amanico...

Enjoy reading your threads and comments. I also feel its priced reasonably compared to other pieces, might have to do with the fact that the Gondolo pieces are less in demand compared to the other round watch models from Patek Rishi

That's a very powerful comment!

And I agree wholeheartedly...tq Amanico. Shaped watches to me represent another beautiful world of watch design concepts and engineering. Patek does this well Rishi

Lovely!

The dial color seems to change quite a bit depending on lighting conditions, looking forward to seeing more photos.
