My sincere pleasure Sir, and thank-you for providing your valuable feedback on my forum! Small but incremental changes in certain design aspects, from classical to more colorful/daring, have no doubt been a recurring theme of our recent releases...

By: FabR : March 27th, 2023-06:30

Dear Friends, it's with enormous pleasure that I can introduce to you live Patek Philippe's STUNNING 2023 creations! The 2023 Collection features a total of 17 new in-catalog models, along with a selection of exclusive, out-of-catalog Rare Handcrafts! The...

Patek's 2023 Collection is LIVE!

Thank you for sharing Fabrizio!

Many thanks, still uploading and digesting some of the new material myself -- all press releases to follow soon! :-) Enjoy!

A few more pictures of one of the big novelties -- the Annual Calendar 5261R for Ladies:

Love this one...

Thanks Matt, always to try in person first if possible, but at 39.9mm I can *very* easily see this beauty on many men's wrists! ;-) Cheers.

Thank you Fabrizio! 5531g… i won’t be able to sleep until i will have one😅😅😍

+1, the 5968 lineup is becoming more gorgeous by the year -- another guaranteed success! ;-) Thanks for commenting.

I'm sure it will be unbelievable in the metal like its predecessor(s) -- certainly among the best in-catalog models (and it will likely be nearly as limited as any other RH! ;-) Cheers.

Green Pilot!!!!

Glad the wait was worth it! ;-)) Cheers my friend.

The 5968, now also in a stunning Rose gold version:

All the pics aren’t up

Fully agree…and I bet we are not even done for 2023!😉🥂 Cheers.

And also a first few pictures of the new 6007G (three different iterations, all in grey gold), formerly of course just a LE in A:

Love these! Thanks much!

Many thanks -- a few more seconds and I can post the Rare Handcraft material, which I believe is not on Patek's site yet!

Was waiting for this! What about the 30 limited edition pieces? Will they be up also?!😍🙏

Not sure when the Rare Handcrafts will all be on Patek's site, but see the press release below, I believe we are the first site to release them :-) Cheers.

PS: How about also one of the two 5189G for you? :-)

Would be a dream… also the table clock… i sent them to V. But i think it will be an impossible mission 🥲

I know, the competition I believe will be incredible but you definitely have a shot! ;-) Salutameli (e ci vedremo se non prima a Villa d'Este visto che dovremmo essere lo stesso giorno :-)

PS: I probably won't post many clock pictures here, but if you need to send them to R. let me know the exact ref., as I might have them in the material ;-) In bocca al lupo!

Ok grazie! Still not sure what they will present… once i see more i will try to send V!!

👍👍

White date background was a missed opportunity...

Many thanks for your input, also from a designer perspective, if I recall correctly. What's sure is that this new Calatrava trio has (expectedly) provoked very strong -- and far from unanimous -- reactions among collectors, so far...

And now my friends the first Rare Handcraft press release! I'll have more later, but I want to publish this immediately as it's totally new -- they include some incredible entries in the new 5189G reference, the 5089G, and also some MRs! Enjoy! :-)

the worldtime piece is insanely beautiful

+1, expectedly the new 5531G (WT + minute repeater) seems like a big favorite of many! Cheers my friend.

And finally (for now!), the detailed Rare Handcraft release with all the specs for each model and technique -- I believe we are the first to publish also this document, which many were looking forward to! :-) Cheers.

And now some Rare Handcraft pictures for you my friends, again not available on Patek's site yet! The first marvel is listed as Ref. 5077/100R-064:

The unbelievable 5189G-011, "Alpine Rally"! It's part of the new 5189G reference along with the "teaser" model (-001) from a few days ago. Enjoy!

Absolutely fabulous !

;-) Cheers.

😍😍😍😍😍 no words.

+1! ;-))

Good to see these novelties ….

My sincere pleasure as usual Captain! Glad you enjoyed.

And now the two Rare Handcraft minute repeaters -- 5538G-018 and 7000/50G-012..... both listed as unique pieces! They feature the RH technique of miniature painting on enamel, a big favorite of mine! :-)

Stunning quality of craftsmanship and creativity

Many thanks for your feedback Captain -- indeed this looks like another amazing Rare Handcraft lineup, including the two automotive themes....perhaps your favorites? ;-) Have a great day.

These are incredible… just wish they had the proboscis going up and not down!🍀

I think they were just being careful not to hit the hands of the watch.... 😂❤️

That’s quite nice

👍🥂Cheers my friend.

Spectacular!

Thank-You for joining! :-) Cheers.

Gorgeous pieces of art ... FabR would you know who JPV is? Love the fact that they are a couple pair with mirror images.

That could actually be spectacular as a couple watch -- impossible to beat, I would say! ;-))

And finally for the Rare Handcraft gallery, here's for you the enchanting new Ref. 5738/50G-026, "White Egrets"! The dial is in enamel, and I have it listed as a LE of exactly 6 pieces. Enjoy! :-)

This one's....

My pleasure to do this for the forum Filip, glad you enjoyed! And yes, the colors on this 5738 are totally lovely, I'm sure it will be even more amazing in the metal! :-) Cheers.

beautiful piece by Anita Porchet but my favourites are the two piece uniques "Bengal Jungle" with the MR

Thanks for your feedback Dauster, happy you enjoyed these new releases!👍🥂Cheers.

Interesting, so there are no new platinum or steel pieces?

My pleasure Aymen -- indeed all G and R, with the notable exception of the new 5316/50P, which I just listed separately below :-) Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing Fab

Many thanks my friend -- Basically my second full-time job, especially in the middle of the night (plus of course all that surrounds it in terms of communications).... ;-))

:-)))) Merci Fab

My pleasure, and Thank-You for the appreciation. It's obviously not always easy to moderate a forum of this magnitude on my own, but when I do something I fully devote myself to it, to the VERY best of my ability -- that is just how I approach life! :-)

Nice ones but ;..

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts Chris, appreciate it! ;-) BUT, I'd give it a try and show interest to Patek for that 5738, if I were you....of course it's only 6 pieces for the world, but dreaming costs nothing! ;-) Cheers.

yes ..

Totally understand -- and not a problem! ;-)

A few pictures specifically of our only new entry in Platinum this year: the stunning Grand Complication 5316/50P, which combines tourbillon, MR, and PC.... Enjoy! ;-)

Ooof...a true grand complication. Amazing piece.

No doubt about it, another real gem (and not among the most talked about so far! ;-) Thanks for commenting, John.

Thank you for all your efforts to bring these to us!!

My sincere pleasure John!🙏🥂Cheers.

The only one I like, this year. Gorgeous.

Thanks Nico, a cool and very modern re-interpretation of a real horological gem…hard not to love it!👍Cheers.

Yes, that's the Patek we love.

;-)

I think it will be my favorite, all brands included, this year. I will see that tomorrow, but the chances are big.

I've mainly been interested in Patek but also Rolex this year, including the new Ti YM and also the 'playful OP' (I might ask for the 41mm for me and the 36 for my GF, who loves it, but given my status as a Rolex collector they'll be TOUGH to get! :-)

I will try but this year it will be a supersonic trip. ;p

👍👍

Thanks Matt, always to try in person first if possible, but at 39.9mm I can very easily see this beauty on many men's wrists! ;-) Cheers.

Following are two important press releases, to recap for you the full lineup of the in-catalog models! First:
