Patek Philippe

​Dear Friends, as we announced yesterday, here are for you three stunning new releases from Patek's 2021 Collection, which went live just moments ago! See: The 2021 Chrono lineup includes the new references: 5204R-011 in Rose gold, 5905/1A-001 in SS, and...  

I like the 5905/1A-001 and I have already emailed my AD. Looking forward to new pictures and press release

But for me it’s a bit like some aftershaves I’m having to let it warm up on me. I’m not sure that’s a good thing but stranger things have happened. M.

That does seem to happen more with Patek than all other brands. For me that is. Often I’m left feeling a bit cold from press releases etc then when I have it on my wrist some magic happens. M.

The 5204R is absolutely stunning and incredibly tempting.

It will be expensive no doubt and unloved..but still gorgeous to look at

My wild prediction of this (very) controversial color is that It will be the new international advertising piece for the Spring ‘22 PP publications and advertising campaign. It is a visual attraction.

Probably a safer bet !!!!!

...or at least that used to be the pattern. But today, every model (ugly or not) is snapped up immediately...

...my comment was more about the future desirability of watches considered 'ugly' at the time of manufacture. The ref. 5020 comes to mind. I loved it the moment I saw it, but they didn't sell many when it first came out. Now it is very pricey : )

I do agree with your thoughts re the 'fashion color' in a classic model; though the green strap makes everything pop..(will attract a more varied audience IMO) the seconds hand at 6 is a a nice addition.

Although, I believe in the marketing value and the dramatic visual POP that might attract different audiences. OF COURSE; product quality is of primary importance-------non subjective............ My 5110J is my WT love!!!!

Green for go !

We share the passion !

I have to admit that the first thought it gives me is, "Why did I give up my 5960a???"

So far I haven't taken care of the 5905, but the new version is very attractive. Green dial on a bracelet like 5167！

My 5167/1A clasp The 5905/1A clasp ...  

One thing i love about the Bvlgari Octo is the bracelet's amazing comfort on the wrist. Did PP modernize so their butterfly clasp goes into the bracelet like Bvlgari for added comfort?

...  

Here's the Bvlgari bracelet so the clasp goes 'inside' the bracelet. Here's pics of what Bvlgari does, it is sooo comfy! I'm hoping we see some actual innovation from PP soon, though have been saying that for many years Maybe true talented watchmakers hav...  

Certainly these will prompt a lot of excitement and discussion. In particular I would be very interested to hear about PP’s decisions to proceed with green hues. I do love green, so I am fascinated and impressed by their decisions. I also wonder if/how th... 

The choice of green appears pretty "safe" this year (even though the hues Patek chooses are also *really* good -- looking forward to seeing these in person! ;-) And I also find interesting the choice of metals, in particular the SS for the 5905, which I'm... 

And I strongly agree that the 5905 in steel really surprised me. I hope you get to see them soon enough, especially as I want to read your impressions of this piece, including its bracelet style and feel. Is this the same bracelet as the Aquanaut you wear... 

My 5167/1A clasp The new 5905/1A clasp ...  

even if 42 might be too big for me

Additional details and USD prices are as follows: 5204R-011: Split-seconds Chronograph and Perpetual Calendar, housed in a 40 mm rose gold case and featuring a slate gray sunburst dial: $309,893 USD 5905/1A-001: Flyback Chronograph and Annual Calendar in ... 

The 5204, yes, amazing watch, nothing to add that hasnt been said before. But the more I look at the SS 5905 the more I dislike it. Im a huge fan of steel bracelets, but this one would make me not want to look at my wrist - ever. The WT in green is also a... 

Green is not going anywhere it seems. The 5204 RG is spectacular.

One thing that is very clear (again) is that Patek listens to its clients' viewpoints, especially those that suggest a better way of doing things. Specifically, I am thinking of the bracelet on the 5905 SS. A lot of people have clearly expressed their mis... 

Looking forward to seeing the green hue of the 5930 dial in person, but it does look quite impressive from the pictures! Certainly not an easy reference, historically, so let's see if the "heft" of the Platinum will win over more enthusiasts! Cheers.

Green is definitely the in color ! I prefer the 5905 green to the 5930 green because of the steel bracelet. The 5204R looks great ! 👍

The bracelet on the 5905/1a…does it not look like the Aquanaut 5167/1a?

5905/1A clasp 5167/1A 5167/1A clasp ...  

Even my 5968A from 2019 and 2021 5167A has this new style internal design.

My two favorites are the 5930P, and the split second chrono 5204T... All are very fresh with a note of Tierry Stern's input.

In Addition: Your efforts and presentation at 0300 in NYC are much appreciated.

While I am very partial to green, I personally prefer the 5930 in blue …. The guilloche on the blue is better appreciated in most light and I prefer the city dial in solid background. The 5905’s green is supposed to be similar to the 5711-014 but it looks...  

...but it doesn't really matter because I will never get one...not on Patek's radar I'm afraid...

Very good looking PPs

I wish they would have broken up the dial color in the 5930g like they just did with the P.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures . Regards

The WT in green looks quite charming . Thanks for your informative Exposé FabR.

Why all so enthusiastic and positive ? They used a green dial. WOW Must be a genius to come to that Idea "We need something new .... Ugh wait a minute, not so long ago we made the market go crazy with a green Nautilus ( OK a watch we discontinued but we h... 

A model comes out and goes through the phases of different metals..dials…platinum and discontinuation. Generally every year there is one model that’s new and we had the perpetual…..I ask still waiting for a 5320R and a 5531G

Patek has accomplished nothing much 'revolutionary' or new that is truly horologically significant in quite a few years imho. Perhaps this is why FP Journe and many other true independents are doing so very well. Maybe PP's highest watchmakers have decide... 

The colour scheme adopts the old style, with colour guilloche in center and countries names in white periphery. It makes the watch look smaller than the 5930G. Would be interested to see it in flesh, if I have a chance…… Best, Henry

Much more than the 5905/1A.

But concerned that the country ring on that WT is just not legible, and the 5905 just looks heavy with that bracelet. But as with all things PP I will reserve judgment until I see them in the metal. Oh, wait, I KNOW that the split-seconds is going to be a... 

Thanks for your post, just new comer for PP, very good looking and sporty 5905 in bracelet , 5930P also very charming, I contact and registered with my AD for both and do hope can get both pieces. This year PP do a very attractive model and refresh their ... 

The new generation of the Calatrava line is perhaps the most evident example currently under our eyes, but we know that even apparently minor changes like a green dial in lieu of blue on a WT chronograph, are in fact very meaningful in terms of the broade... 

Thanks for your best wishes, new Calatrava 6119 is very impressive, 5236P also good idea for perpetual, 5212A fantastic 5 hands on single co-Axial, 5235R is good accent for time regulators. All of these are good looking Patek and express their great and o... 

As usual, I will update you live, right here on WatchProSite, with all the press pictures and releases, as I receive them from Patek! Another veeery long night for me, but I know it will totally be worth it! Looking forward to sharing some big news with y... 

We are all keenly looking forward to your post ! 👍

I hope we hear about the new 6711 today😊

Appreciated!!!!
