the 3919 at 33mm was a man's watch so the 34.6mm 7200R should surely also be classified at least as a unisex watch.
Meeting a Patek gentleman
Over a cuppa and watch chit chat with a fellow purist, I was privileged to get a hands on view into some really nice novelties - one of which is older than I am. This is the essence of our hobby - mechanical marvels, and Patek being near the top of crafts...
Hi Richard, Glad that your watch friend has been able to "poison" you with his Pateks ! For me, I know exactly who gave you that big dose of poison ! He is both a ...
gentleman and a "dangerous" PuristS who is addicted to smaller watches. LOL ! Yes, the one in the middle is lovely and is a limited edition ! Cheers, Gordon
Dangerous, yes....
He got me researching that very unique Cabriolet model, and I found two for sale right here.... :-|
The 7200R-010
was produced in a limited edition of 80 pieces in conjunction with the Patek Philippe exhibition in London in 2015. Although destined as a ladies model, the black Breguet numerals and hands in my opinion add a more masculine feel than the regular 7200R-00...

In the metal, it is exquisite!
...maybe we can work a coffee in somewhere since we live in the same part of the woods...
A true gentleman for sure I’ve had the chance to meet in January. He let me play with his 1530A 😊 Next time I hope to handle his Cabriolet 😉
I’m sure you had fun together. Best wishes Alkiro
I guess your friend will also love the Ellipse?
Great, unique pieces from Patek there. The 7200 R was very tempting, when I handed it.
The 7200R is awesome in the metal and on the wrist
And the movement fills the case very nicely too
Such a nice gentleman and humble person and great collector imho
Had the pleasure to meet him a few times last year and this year . Cant wait to meet him again and have a look at his new purchases . 🙏🏻🤗
He had two more slots in the box
And he assured me that it will be filled with some dream catches soon enough
One man -- One job
Richard N, I like your friend's cabriolet for the fiddly bits. When we visited the Patek Philippe factory, we saw a man whose only job was to adjust the click mechanism of covers on Patek Philippe watches. He did it by ear and 'feel' checking each click. ...
That’s very Interesting
I wonder if the level of attention is still the same today as brands, including Patek, try to produce and sell more and more watches
59,000 Patek Philippe watches per year
Richard N Indeed...even Patek Philippe makes 59,000 watches per annum according to a guide. I don't know how many of those watches have hinged covers and humans adjusting each one.....today. Regards MTF
Not sure what they do currently
but only 200 to 300 5099RG were produced so a higher degree of attention was inevitable then.
Thanks for the posting Richard!
My apologies for missing out on this I hope to be seeing you guys soon
