Pilot watches
Tried these Pilots at the AD today.
I first saw both versions of the 5924 at the Patek window at Watches & Wonders, but they didn’t grab my attention then. Now, having tried this khaki green on the wrist I was quite impressed and ended up asking to reserve it for a couple of days to give me time to decide if I should take the plunge.
Although I loved the watch, I’m afraid the not so friendly way to change local time while travelling might become an issue in the future. Not sure if one can make it with the fingernails, as the push pieces are enlarged, but couldn’t try it as the watch is wrapped with plastic.
I also liked the smaller 7234, probably one of the lasts to be received by my AD, but I already have the small 4947 and would prefer a larger Patek (not necessarily as large as the 5924).
While I make my decision, would love to read Purists take on these pieces
Thanks!

IMO most important is how each
feel on your wrist. In terms of 7234s, the R matches your skin tone well based on the photos
nice pick up around 35-38k for the 5524 or low 30s for the ladies versions
retail seems quite steep for me but I do like them.
Thanks for sharing your opinion and pictures on these beautiful pieces, that we don't see as often here! Every since we announced the new Ref. 5924 with the 2023 Collection, I did notice an increased interest among connoisseurs for our "pilot" offering..
The case, which is the same diameter for all four current 5xxx "Complication" pilot models (but it's obviously a tad thicker for the 5924 chronos), looks perfect on your wrist....so follow your heart, like they say, and be certain that in any event you'll...
I have seen the blue 5924 a couple of weeks ago…
and I let it go in favor of the 5935. I loved the dial of the 5924 but it is a tad too thick for my liking.
I have a bunch of Pateks
My 5524 remains one of my favorite. So versatile and legible. It’s a fantastic watch. Will also say that it’s one of Thierry’s favorite pieces.
Totally agree
I do also, but wear the 5524 almost daily. Works well for business and great for casual wear. Super legible and looks awesome on blue strap.
Looks like a few pilots have landed on your ADs strip at once!
I havent seen the most recent but have tried the older versions. They are very legible but can be viewed as quite bold. Depending on what you are looking for you may find those qualities desirable (or not). They appear very modern to me! Again, that may b...
You should not !
The 5924s are absolute killers and match also beautifully the thinnest wrist, believe me ! And you have serious white gold : around 104g !!!
Not a lot of talk about Patek's Pilot offerings
My buddy is interested in AP Offshore Chronos (43mm) and tried several on with me last weekend at the AP boutique in Doha. Then we walked across the hall to Patek and he immediately tried on the chunkiest piece available on display which was the 5924G-010...
These are great. I like the WG blue dial best but haven’t seen green in person.
A friend bought RG version last year in the low 30’s from GOVBERG in Philly in like new condition.
