Patek Philippe

My 5565A

 

I am one of the lucky guys who can buy one.
 
My comment:

The dial is stunning!
The case is mimic the vintage 565, particularly in SS!  But the 36mm size may not be suitable to those who like large watches.
The movement is the classic 215PS, which I think is not good as 12SC.

Overall comment: It is a very collectible comtemporary calatrava.  To me, only 5196PT is comparable.  However it has been sold out and you can only find in 2nd hand market.

IMHO,
Addi

I would appreciate any information on this Patek piece! Anybody has pictures? I tried on the PP site but it is not there. Is it difficult to get one? If it is available what is the list price? Actual owners: what is your opinion on it? Thanks in advance! ... 

In case you're talking about the limited edition...

Hello, Rafael, not sure If you're talking about the limited edition ref. 5565, created to comemorate Geneva Salon re opening - or if its a typo and you mean 5065A (I got a bit hesitant because of the "A"?). Here's some info and previous posts about ref. 5... 

Suitbert, "A" is correct because it is made of SS! D.

It is the most beautiful contemporary calatrava imho - get one if you can!

Just wondering.... is limited to 300pcs a small number?

What do you think? What is a "good" number for a limited time piece? 100? 300? 500? 1000?

Reading this thread reminds me of the 5105

I put my name down for one but was eventually told by the Geneva boutique that I did not get one. Can any one tell me where I can get one on the second hand market? I am particularly interested as the movement dates from 1959, my birth year.

I'd take 5196P over 5565

ANY day ;-) Callectability and rarity of 5565 be darned ;-)

Thanks for the photos, Jochen and amsterdam... I was...

wondering how come it takes so long for the actual owners of 5565 to show us a few photos of this stunning timepiece. I believe that it is very hard to capture the true beauty of this one (similar to photo 3712...). I think the reason is its highly polish... 

Thanks for all your insights!!!

I was undecided if I should get this piece but now I made up my mind with all the positive comments made in this forum. You guys have been very helpfull! Rafael
