Overview of the Patek Philippe ref. 1530
With its rectangular case and teardrop lugs, Patek Philippe's ref. 1530 is very rarely seen.
The case measures 23 x 36 mm and the watch is powered by manual wind cal. 9-90.
Does this reference speak to you?
Best, Emmanuel

Thanks Emmanuel ! Love your post on the shaped watches which are generally under-appreciated 👍
I prefer the one with numerals 😃
My pleasure, Gordon!
I also find the one with Arabic numerals particularly attractive. Best, Emmanuel
I also find the first one particularly attractive.
But I also like the second one and its yellow gold variant. Best, Emmanuel
No. This example with dot indexes might be unique
and there are other ref. which I care more about. And I'm kind of wallet flat right now!
It's frustrating...
But the pleasure of wearing the 5098P, which is literally stuck on my wrist, is a great compensation!
All of them look great,
I think I like the yellow gold version the best. The movement photos are beautiful as well🔥
Yellow gold with dot indexes is definitely one of my favorite.
And, yes, the 9-90 is gorgeous! I would love so much to own a ref. 5105...: www.watchprosite.com / Best, Emmanuel
Interesting looking Patek Philippe ref 1503's
I really like the beautiful and stylised lugs as they really add something to the watch. My favourite is No:2 with the Roman numerals as I just think it looks so nice, but I don't really understand just why the crown is so large It makes the watch seem un...
I imagine that, with such a large crown and caliber 9-90, winding is a true delight... It could be an explanation.
I also find the Roman numerals dial very elegant and particularly love the yellow gold variant with dot indexes: I find it wonderful and prefer the dot to the baton indexes. Best, Emmanuel
I also find the first example quite striking.
As for the 9-90 caliber, it's one I would like to own and contemplate in the case of a ref. 5105: www.watchprosite.com / Have a nice evening, E! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you, E!
Everything’s fine for me and I hope for you too and for your son. See you!
I feel like you: leather strap is much better here!
And the more I look at it, the more I like the yellow gold with dot indexes. Best, Emmanuel
