My favorite here

All the straps here are not my ideal

Maybe an aubergine calf would work

They're all great!

The dials are fabulous …

But the first one depicting Ayrton would be better without the ruby set bezel.

Fully agreed

And those gems even raise the price by 50% 🤔

I seldom criticise…

PP as over the years I have respected their restraint in design terms.

You apply via AD and TS/PP decide

More I don’t know

Many thanks for your interest, Hulk -- I'll briefly reply to your question here for all our Members since I'm receiving multiple requests in this sense, given the ever-increasing popularity of these models (plus the appeal of this year's themes! ;-))

Rare Handcraft references are of course produced in extremely limited quantities; it's the second year in a row that Patek gives me some official numbers, and I believe most 2023 wristwatches will be released in limited editions of either 6 or 10. They tr... 

Hi Fab, many thanks for the detailed reply.

I'll be giving a miss so. I'm still waiting for my 5712/1R I requested in October, so I'd say you'd want to be a seriously special PP customer to get one and why not; as you'd definitely feel appreciated. Cheers S

good luck on the 5712/1R

I received message that I can pick up mine when I return from vacation in April. Also ordered last October

Really don't like that jeweled bezel on the first one.

Why adorn what is presented as a masterpiece of cloisonne with a distracting bezel...

Many thanks Nils for forwarding these live pics of our new stunning Rare Handcrafts -- love each one of them! ;-)

Just a reminder to all of our members that these three models --- and many more, for a total of about 30 new Rare Handcraft wristwatch references, as well as 12 unique pocket watches and 25 table clocks --- will be on the display for the public at the Rar... 

Let me think…

At the moment 26 degrees, palms and beach - NO

But my wife preferred the sun this year……

Thanks for sharing ! How many

pieces for each ?

With gems I don’t know

 
 By: penfriend : March 28th, 2023-18:23
Others 10 each

They're nice. I'd rather hire the enamel artist for something personally special and sentimental.

Also custom special movement instead of standard one. 👍

Number 3 for me.

As if 😂

There is also a 5 I forgot to post

Art does not have to appeal to everyone

Has been like this for thousands of years

as those motives are not copies of known art pieces I would disagree even when we do not know the originator (except PP as a firm)

we also consider e.g. Egyptian sculptures as art to my knowledge. And kitsch is nothing else than a degrading description (or even adjective kitschig) of art.
