Patek Philippe

REF. 492

This reference is particularly attractive to me: My kind of dream watch

It is the source of inspiration of the modern limited edition ref. 5105, to which I have dedicated two threads: 

• Patek Philippe Ref. 5105P-001 & its background

• Still very much on my mind

The two-tone dial is very striking. But is it untouched?

REF. 2461

I have dedicated a recent thread to this reference, which I love: When a design speaks to you




PRE-REFERENCE MODEL

First time I see this kind of hexagonal case, which could maybe be considered the ancestor of Patek Philippe's “manta ray” case




REF. 2456

The concave sides of this reference are reminiscent of those of ref. 1499: An intriguing case shape.




REF. 2442 nicknamed “Banana” or “Marylin Monroe”

I have highlighted another example of this highly sought-after reference here: A stunning “Marylin”




REF. 1593

The “Hour Glass” is another highly sought-after reference: Do you like the “Hour Glass”?




REF. 2414

This reference, nicknamed “Topolino” (Italian for “Mickey Mouse”), is remarkable for its “Bunny or Mouse Ears” lugs: Who's afraid of “Bunny Ears”?

REF. 2471

Because of its fancy triple-scroll lugs, this reference has been nicknamed “Ricciolino” (Italian for “curly hair”). It is also called “Ram's horn”.




REF. 2517

 Because of its gadrooned lugs, whose rhythmic repetition evokes the folds of an accordion, this reference has been nicknamed “Fisarmonica” (Italian for “Accordion”).
