Patek Philippe 5178G-012 NEW MINUTE REPEATER 2023

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 9th, 2023-20:41
โ€‹After hearing the Patek Philippe news, I have to say that the new Reference 5178G-012 is an absolutely remarkable watch. It has a hand-guilloched dial covered with enamel, which appears in many different colors depending on the incidence of light. In add...  

Looks a little too flamboyant for me, but we'll see...

I'm still a little timid to wear my brightly colored pants. But then again, some people are accustomed to dressing more conservatively and some are accustomed to having a little more fun with what they wear. I'm slowly edging out of the closet (get the pu...

Yes I can understand you absolut!! Iโ€™m also more conservative but i want to show how many faces the watch with different straps has. I donโ€™t think I would wear it with an orange strap but it shows the potential from that piece.

A dapper fella!

I concur

I think someone is calling me here... ;-)) Very appreciative of Patek's direction in this area, my friend, though even within our clear "modernization" efforts in the design department, I agree it was sensitive to include both straps with this piece.

 
 By: FabR : April 9th, 2023-23:50
The blue dial already offers quite a significant departure from the 5078 and earlier 5178, especially for such a classical complication as a MR, so I can understand that some collectors may prefer less "impactful" versions when it comes to design and choi...

If I may share my feelings, this vibrant color and other model color detail touches actually expands PP traditional into avant-garde classic which is very chic and present. The world need this after the 2 years of depressing days. The new collectors also ... 

That's true... It's been a dark world! Time for some color and light!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 10th, 2023-04:26
We've been seeing more color on watches. Especially green and burgundy in addition to the blue and Tiffany Blue.

Fully agreed, I'm actually a profoundly optimistic and generally very happy person, and I like to think Patek and horology are playing a role in this sense -- the world needs beauty, color, and optimism now possibly more than ever in our lifetimes! ;-)

 
 By: FabR : April 10th, 2023-13:30
I'm sure there will always be room for a classical offering though, also in terms of design codes. Striking a right balance between respecting Patek's unique history and tradition with a new model, while constantly researching for progress in all areas (t...

5070P vs 5170P

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 10th, 2023-06:22
It is nearly the same situation as it was 2018 when Patek released the 5170P with baguettes. Today 5 years later the world loves the 5170P as well. ...  

Agree

 
 By: Gelato Monster : April 10th, 2023-07:41
5070 will always be an icon but I also fall in love with 5170 less ornate yet more authoritative dial

True! Lots of potential!

 
 By: patrick_y : April 9th, 2023-22:42
Call me boring, but I like the plain old 5078 myself. To my eyes, that's perfection.

Perfect for our fab

He has a pretty magnificent wardrobe

Indeed!

He's so stylish that it even rubbed off on his girlfriend's dog! The dog models designer sunglasses!

What a clever dog!

Even though likely not classic pp style. Kind of reminds me of the enamel dial jpc collection

Classic Rose Engine Pattern

 
 By: enjoythemusic : April 9th, 2023-22:47
My wife has this pattern in the center section, yet in purple. It's really nice and does indeed have a lot of 'personality' depending on lighting, We love it! ...  

๐Ÿ‘Cheers.

For me, this is a downturn personally

As I had already been in discussion with my AD on the classic 5078 and was about to order one. I love colors but this new version does not sing to me like the former one.

I think itโ€™s a lot individual taste

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 10th, 2023-18:04
For me the cream dials from the 5078G and the 5178G didnโ€™t fit with my skin, the complete reference 5078 was for me to small on the wrist on the one hand, and on the other hand I like the cathedral gong much more, but itโ€™s all about individual taste and f...

guilloche dial ! IMO the strap should be a darker blue or another color that accentuates the dial better than light blue or orange.

 
 By: HERMINATOR : April 11th, 2023-17:55
The strap is the game changer !! The thing is the watch shows its power under real light and on the wrist, when I saw it on my wrist I got a big smile in my face. But you are are absolute right a dark blue alligator strap or a black strap with blue or gra...
