Patek Philippe

Hi, I may meet people from Patek Philippe soon. If there was one question you would want to ask? Of course I reserve the right to ask or not! Cheers Dje

Hi Dje, some time ago, I was about to get a plain Calatrava with the caliber 215 PS. As much as I liked the classical case and dial (and the marvellous video "To my Son"), I could not convince myself to buy a watch, which is not really cheap, and does not... 

In an interview, P. Stern told that if they would want their watches to hack seconds, they will...Don't know why they don't want it, maybe it causes some movement issues? Regards Martin

as they also claim highest standards of crafting, which the customer cannot judge easily from the running accuracy? They also postulate to be a most innovative brand and combine tradition and modern horology, but their basic model runs with a movement fro... 

Actually, there are worst cases, the 5959 is actually based on an old Victorin Piguet ebauche made for a ladys watch long time ago (they claim they did it from scratch). Besides it haven't hack seconds, the minutes counter is a continuous one (not even a ... 

Is PP considering making larger case watches? 42mm for example? Many thanks Cheeers

be revealed and kept open in any way (or do we just have to trust them when they say it's better )? A

How is te PP sea different from/better than the QF seal? A

.... how does a "2" minute repeater differs in terms of movement compare to "minute" repeater. THis question came from a person recently visited the Patek factory, he was told such movement is in the R&D process. I am very curious to know if this is t... 

Except the 5959, of course. Something to replace the 5070. Best, Lucky Jerome! Nicolas

No message body

the CH27-70 Lemania-based caliber is the best chronograph caliber after modification by Patek. What else do we need? Do we need to replace the ref 2499 or ref1518? Larry

2499 was replaced by 3970 and then followed by 5970..... why won't it be replaced by a new model? Nothing new *CL

Manual Chronos ( 5070 and 5970 )... I agree on your comments aout the quality of the reworked Lemania movement, even if I would have liked to see it a bit bigger compared to the 42 mm case. Best, Nicolas

a pure classic chrono.

Is PP working on something revolutionary, as opposed to evolutionary, and if yes what is it or in what direction would that be? Thanks, Stefano

While we can see this combination in many pocket watches, why not in wristwatch? Technical problem or others?

on the sapphire crystals of it's time pieces? Thanks Dje! -- Richard.

Will you please ask when will they will remove CARACAS,Venezuela form the dials, as it no longer applies since president Chavez changed the time 30 minutes back on December 2007. Regards Jaime

A more specific question for me would be, "...is PP planning on (or perhaps working on as we speak) a new supercomplication that would surpass the Caliber 89?".

to replace the current cal.215? Thanks Jerome!! Roger

Thanks

question I would LOVE to get an answer on is whether they REALLY keep tabs on who are their loyal customers. Whenever I hear/see a "special" piece like 5350, 5078 etc just end up in the hands of a new collector instead of someone who has been patiently co... 

Or has Patek museum completed their collection? Regards Ling

if Patek uses Laser welding technique for their watch case during servicing? Thank you very much. *CL
