Many details I like better on this one
Apr 12, 2015,03:12 AM
The marker's lenght at the bottom of the dial are shorter, the scale, hands have changed but I also find the godlen rings around the 2 registers at 5' and 7' are really nice in this RG watch context.
It is very difficult to think differently from the beautiful 5970s but with the 2015 versions of the 5270, the WG ones but also this RG one, I think we have reached a very nice stage.
I will go and have a look at this one for sure.
Thanks again for your work Oliver.
Cheers, Mark

It is funny to say one in that metal when used to seing only steel ones
By: Mark in Paris : April 4th, 2015-15:25
It looks very warm indeed and I already started to consider RG bracelet watches with the Royal Oak 15202, so I'm quite open to this one. The only "no go" for me is the dial's color which seems beautiful and very well matching the RG but which doesn't brin...
Mark, the RG blue dial RO you mention ...
By: small-luxury-world : April 7th, 2015-03:21
is nice as well. Only tried it once on my wrist and except of the dial with a flaw, it was very nice. I like both, but for (slightly) different reasons. It is always nice to have options and a version in steel is a good start ... :-) Thanks for your reply...
It is a nice watch but...

I'm a bit tired of this kind of combo I must confess. Not for me! Thanks for the pics & comments! Fx
FX, maybe you spent too much time ...
By: small-luxury-world : April 7th, 2015-03:17
on watch shows and at ADs (which is perfect for us, because we see lots of pictures :-) ). I won´t get tired of sceneries like this ... A glass of rose at sunset ... and those pictures are not even taken in Italy. For that kind of moments, I could easily ...
Thanks Oliver for writing this post which IMO Patek has made...

a bold step in extending the range of an icon, from understatement to "louder-statement" !! Good for the brand to try on different versions, from mixed steel & gold bracelet with blue dial to this RG bracelet with brown dial. Now after your post, I really...
"extending the range of an icon"
By: small-luxury-world : April 7th, 2015-03:06
Well, there already have been "bold" versions like this at the Ref. 3700 - the icon itself. Today we have soo many different lifestyles and customers from different markets and therefore I think it is nice to have some more choices - like in the past. Tha...
Nice but...
By: tempus : April 4th, 2015-16:07
I share the same view on this like Mark in Paris. The dial is warm and suits the RG. But I would prefer a dial like 5980/ST-RG. This would be more courageous and mediteranian. Just my two cents. Thx for your report and thoughts. Best regards
PP Nautilus Ref. 7118/1A: Something understated for the lady!
By: small-luxury-world : April 6th, 2015-08:32
A pure steel Nautilus is what we know for the gentleman and this year they got something fancier in RG. For the demanding lady there is (finally) something in steel, with an automatic movement and without any stone setting. As already known the “new” iter...

as brands understand they are interested about watches too and that they won't be satisfied with Quartz only models. Good and necessary move from Patek. Cheers, Mark

PP Nautilus Ref. 5524G: The BIG suprise!

I doubt anybody expected to see such a watch from Patek Philippe. From time to time there are PP exhibitions in different places and therefore pieces from their museum are shown as well. One of the (let´s call it like this, in the world of PP) curiosities...

The new black dial looks very nice and gives a modern touch
By: Mark in Paris : April 12th, 2015-03:02
to this classical watch. In the mean time I think I prefer the printings of the 5170G Silver dial: I like the pulsometric scale a lot and the thinner subdials' decoration.... The black one is more rare and has a more casual look. I imagine the live experi...
prefer the white dial
By: watch-er : April 16th, 2015-11:43
I much prefer the white dial over the black on this reference. So much more elegant and interesting to me.
prefer the black dial
By: thekonger : July 17th, 2015-07:44
perhaps more interesting, but you have to admit the leaf hands of the black dial are more elegant than the stick hands on the white. Additionally, although the pulsation scale looks neat, it is irrelevant unless the owner is in the medical field or just l...
To admit?
By: Mark in Paris : July 17th, 2015-08:49
First, welcome on PutistSPro to you! Concerning the Black reference versus white one I think that it is a matter of taste. Many like the leaf hand as they are quite elegant and "soft" because of the nice curves. But on the other hand the stick hands bring...

I see you've been looking at his novelty very closely
By: Mark in Paris : April 17th, 2015-02:14
I didn't notice the wider windows compared to the 5970R. I noticed that the scale in the new 5270R takes more space on the dial compared to the 1st 5270G dial and thus moves the markers a little bit toward the date windows. Concerning the case's size, I t...

Even if people will compare it to the 5960, it is a very nice new model
By: Mark in Paris : April 12th, 2015-03:25
Il really like it in Black, especially on the pictures where we don't see the sunburst finish (which is not my thing) but when it looks like lacquered :p The style of the dial (printings, registers) are really better than before (to me) but I think the su...
black dial
By: keks : April 12th, 2015-03:59
The black dial version here looks very nice. I completely agree with Mark in Paris on the subdial presence. However I am positively surprised with how little it bothers me in your pictures. The size seem fine as well even though 42mm sounds too large on p...

Dear friends, thanks for your thoughts!
By: small-luxury-world : June 1st, 2015-02:59
Quick update to explain why I am here so rarely at the moment. There was a funeral ... someone is in the hospital right now and I started a new job. Bad news and good news, but in both cases lots of new activities needed. Cordially, Oliver
Glad to have you back my friend
