Patek wempe edition
Just some extra photos as requested by some members. Thanks for the comments. The knowledge in this forum is tremendous. The Wempe logo is not visible depending on the angle. That's why I like it. I also like Tiffany dials but different design from this watch. The 5125 is 37mm which is perhaps more classic in size than the current annual calendar 5396.

Received this over the holidays and really like its understated presence. Photos don't really do it justice. Only an annual calendar but reminiscent of 3448? Happy new year everyone This message has been edited by Vwong on 2016-01-18 18:35:29...
Very nice & i am sure a joy to wear.
A gem of a watch. My admiration on your choice of a watch. Cheers & Congrats. Geross
This is maybe the most beautiful Annual Calendar of the brand
I only saw it in picture, thus wasn't able to see if the "Wempe" sign I'm not keen on is really visible or discreet. However, this watch remains a true beauty, the way the non-faceted hands and markers work with the watch, the subdial, the integration of ...
Congrats on getting this unique watch! Please
provide more info on production year and number of pieces made. Cheers Gordon
I planned to write about it soon
but it was 125 for each gold and 100 for PT. Cheers, Mark
I wonder how many have English vs German on the months and dates, out of the 125 per gold
I recall when it was introduced, the European Wempe stores did not sell out initially. The NY store sold out, but was advising customers to call the European stores that still had stock for a few days after launch.
not quite the same looking like a 3448
It is a fantastic limited PP annual calendar! Only that you have raised the question of comparing it with the 3448 I must say that this one is too round and soft in case design. The 3448 has got sharp edges, strong bevels and is more sixties design. You c...
Congratulations on a truly iconic piece.
I also had the pleasure of owning 5125G for a year. The Wempe sign has been set to be discreet, nothing like the Tiffany sign, which is wonderful. I liked everything about this watch, except its bubble design when viewed from the side. The lugs are placed...

Question for Mark about the PP 5125
Since you mentioned that you plan to write about this soon, I really wonder how many of the 5125 were in German vs English text. I would assume that more were in German, since the only English speaking WEMPE dealers were in London and NY. Therefore, the E...
Many 5125s with non-English text disks in US ...
were changed to English by HSWA free of charge. So the initial body count is irrelevant now. Best Jim
Thank you for this info
I did not realize that text disks may be changed at HSWA. I thought we simply keep what we purchased.
