Patek Philippe

New Arrival - PP Ref 4947

I thought I would share my new arrival. While I am still in the honeymoon phase, I just am in love with this one. Perfect size (for me) 38mm, it is a reference that is not seen often and I suspect does not get the attention it deserves or would receive had it been 2mm larger. The blue is hard to describe and changes color based on the lighting. I would say it is a denim or linen blue. Overall the dial is a stunner with the Breguet/Arabic numerals. The high polish steel case and braclet make this more of a luxury watch rather than a sports watch. Same as a Nautilus or Royal Oak. Speaking of Nautilus this braclet (more specifically the clasp) is much nicer than the one on the Nautilus. Some deem it a unisex watch (which I agree) or a ladies watch (which I disagree) but nevertheless for my small wrist of about 6.5" it is perfect. My photo skills leave a lot to be desired, but notwithstanding that, this watch must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Thought it would pair well with the watch

The couple of MB fountain pens I have are my favorite writers.

It’s a beaut! Looks great on your wrist. Congrats!

Thank you. I like how it wears. The shape of the case (not as flat as the 5711) would wear big on my even at 40mm.

Well done in getting this steel AR !

By: GLau : July 30th, 2022-05:07

Functional piece carrying a lovely blue dial with “shantung” finish. IMO This fabric pattern elevates this reference to a new height. I tried it on previously and thought highly of it. ...

Thank you and thanks for sharing another picture of it.

Congratulations - A beautiful PP.

Thank you !

Congratulations. Cool watch. 😎 👍

By: geross : July 30th, 2022-18:49

I am considering that model of a watch. In due time, perhaps. Geross.

By: Billfav : August 1st, 2022-15:39

When the time is right you won't be disappointed.

One of the best looking watches I’ve seen on the forum in a while!!!😳

By: sludgeriff : July 30th, 2022-20:11

Congrats on your acquisition and wear it in good health.

By: Billfav : August 1st, 2022-15:40

Wow - thank you. There are a lot of nice timepieces here. You have good taste

Congratulations to your new watch!

By: VintageCollector : July 30th, 2022-23:04

While I appreciate the dial color and texture, the subdials are to crowded in the middle of the dial for my taste. All that dial real estate could IMHO been taken care of in a more elegant way by moving the subdials outwards. All IMHO of course and what’s...

By: Billfav : August 1st, 2022-15:41

Thank you, and I appreciate the feedback. If we all liked the same thing life would be boring.

First, big congratulations to Billfav for an exquisite new watch! It is very rare to get a steel Patek complication piece with a bracelet!

By: Sfwatchlover : August 7th, 2022-04:07

Dear VintageCollector, I think I know what you meant, as I was thinking about it a while back. Please see the comparison below. It is a design choice for how to display the date. With a wheel date at 6 o'clock, the 3 sub-dials need to be positioned a bit ...
