"Out of the box" photos and wrist shots of Patek's commemorative watches for its 10th anniversary in China
Hi Patek PuristS, In addition to my post yesterday with official photos, http://www.watchprosite.com/?page=wf.forumpost&fi=11&ti=1020353&pi=7223948 here are out of the box and wrist shots. How do they look vs the official photos? Comments? Cheers, Gordon...
Fresh pics
Gordon, thank you very much for bringing what will remain rare shots with us. It is funny to notice how much the change from painted arabic numerals to applied ones significantly changes the way the 6000 looks. It was for me a sporty watch but doesn't loo...
the ballet of numbers on the regular 6000 R are unbeatable
these 6000 Rs are clearly stripped down to please the Chinese taste which is apparently less fussy and where less seems to be more. Yes, they look nice too but given the choice I would choose the standard over this limited edition. Best Moritz
Hi Moritz, great observations in that there are...
cultural differences between Patek collectors from different countries. For me with a east meet west culture, my understanding of the Patek classic DNA is clean and simple dials. Hence, IMO I do not feel the regular 6000 with the two circles of numerals m...
This 6000 is a step back in time rather than a step forward
You are right about the clean, simple dial tradition. But Patek has also quite a few "quirky" looking watches, watches with a modern twist, in limited series in particular. This one looks more like a predecessor of the current 6000 and not like an evoluti...
Wow , a very handsome watch.
Its got the 240 ps movement , really great. I suppose its yours so my big congratulations. Cheers Geross.
Hi Geross, thanks for your comments and unfortunately the 6000 is not mine as the photo is from someone who attended the exhibition. However I like your ...
optimistic thinking that I have one! Cheers Gordon
Yes Kek, the revisions IMO have improved the aesthetics of the watch and almost ...
made it to a new reference!
Seldom see anniversary editions for Asia
This is a great gesture from PP Great photos and post Gordon Thanks for sharing with us Cheers Robin
So Robin, what do you think of ....
these watches and which one(s) do you prefer? Cheers Gordon
To be honest Gordon
I am not really a fan of PP designs except for a few lines. These anniversary pieces do not appeal to me looks wise for now. Still I applaud PP for producing LE pieces for China. I guess they will design these for the Chinese market and they will be popul...
I like the Calatrava reference 6000. It is probably the most interesting and distinctive
'entry-level' Patek. These Chinese LE's are nice. I like the fact that the seconds subdial is same color as the rest of the dial. Never liked the hands on this piece though. It will be a crime to put a permanent case-back on this one as the movement is qu...
Hi kek, I would say that a permanent case back on 6000 is ...
a shame. Debatable whether it is a crime on its own. However, as I understand, the 4897 has a hinged case-back 1 Let me find out more as I plan to visit the Maison and see all these LE pieces. If no equality (i.e. 4897 has it but not 6000) exists, then I ...
Hi Kek, saw all the pieces in Shanghai Maison and they all...
Have hard case backs! :-(
Very nice!
I'm having a hard time deciding which one I like more... World Time. No, Regulator. No, World Time.
