My new Patek Philippe 5205R!
I am new to PPro, but have greatly enjoyed coming here form time to time and reading many great threads. I thought I would post something today as today I received a watch that is quite special to. Over the years, I kept coming back to the Patk Philippe 5205G black dial as my annual calendar choice. I loved the modern look of the date windows, case design was fresh and the moon phase was the icing on the cake.
Then came Basel 2013, and after seeing those initial press shots of the 5205 in rose gold with the black lacquered dial, I could not get that watch out of my head.
And the rest was history! Best.

Better Readability
Nice choice of 5205R which prompt me to write again. Compared to first release of 5205G in my opinion 5205R looks with better readability and vibrant. It may be due to contrast of black dial colour and white 24 hrs nos on it. Sparkling Hrs marker and need...

cufflinks

Although I have many nice pieces and even more complicated, this version of the 5205 really blew me away in flesh. One of the best looking pateks at the moment imho!!! (No coincidence that it looks like the 5207R) That seems to be the reason that especial...
