Ref. 3652... tho would go rg with enamel black dial, raised Breguet Arabic and hands, minute droplets.
Of course it would be different if was a rapper... or sports figure.... or Ruler of an oil-rich Middle-East country....
Patek Philippe Minute Repeaters
Here are 39 models ordered more or less by increasing complexity. Have a nice Sunday. 1. SMALL SECONDS Henry Graves Jr.'s Minute Repeater (cal. no. 97,589) credit: Hodinkee Ref. 2419 (cal. ?) credit: hodinkee Ref. 2524 (cal. ?) 2524/1 (credit: Hodinkee) 2...
Wonderful choice, of course!
My personal favorites belong to the "small seconds only" category (the Graves, the 3652, 3979 & 5178, in particular). If I could pick one, it would probably be the 3979.
This model has grown on me time. Found it awkward
on release. Could spot some in the wild a really gorgeous piece. Calendar indication is so much more legible. My father has two retrograde PC Pateks and they are not so readable even if the retrograde triple complication models you displayed remain gorgeo...
I certainly understand why you find this model attractive.
And how great to have such a Patek owner as a father!

I love this reference too
and I love it that you have such a clear view of how you would want it. I personally like it as it is on the photo Iāve found.
My fav would be the
5178 with breguet numerals and hands.. simplicity is hardest to perfect
Yes, so attractive!
I would probably go for the 3979. But itās just pure photo-based dream of courseā¦
I have always been biased for
Arabic or breguet numerals.. this ladies MR is also very attractive with the officer style case, ref 7004R - but printed numerals (as opposed to 5178ās applied) ...
While preparing this thread
I listened to a Hodinkee video from 2013 with 9 different MR and I was surprised to like regular gongs more than cathedralā¦ Link below: https://youtu.be/oNHP0qWId8I
Yes, the regular won for me and my wife as well in that recording!
The idea is still evocative to me!
Thanks for the kind words!
I really love 3979 too. But 5013 has a lot of charm with the tonneau case and retrograde date!
True, my bad: Victorin Piguet caliber.
Shouldāve looked better. Thanks for the correction!
This post of yours is what
DREAMS are made of ! Well done and keep them coming ! š Hints as to what comes next ?š
Thanks a lot for the kind words!
I just wish I had properly identified ref. 541 as a perpetual calendar, but there was a lot of data to deal with and despite my spreadsheet I didnāt manage to get it right! No new ideas yet as Iām about to spend the week in Spain! Best.
I like the look very much, but
I would prefer a manual winding model (with tourbillon like 3939 would be a dream).
