Patek Philippe

Hey guys, it's been a while, wanted to share my latest acquisition, the ref 5049P made to collaborate the 200th Anniversary of the Boodle and Dunthorne. The reference is unique to this limited edition of 20 pieces, all numbered with a badass black dial an...  

Wear it in the best of health. C

No fuss, nice complication, timeless character. Superb catch, I have never seen such a rare example! Have you been hunting it for long or did you find it by serendipity?

I wasn't particularly looking for it no, a dear friend offered it to me and it came down to this or a 3940J black dial vintage collection, I opted for the reasons above and the large signature on the 3940

My 5139G says hello. Your bezel plus the black dial certainly gives a different look to it… What are you ordering by way of straps? Best E.

I agree they seem like totally different watches, I've ordered a grey calf with pink stitching and going back soon for more

Dial is well balanced. What is the size ?

35mm

...it is as perfect as a PC can get. Everything I love from Patek without the flaws of some of the others. Serious 'Wow!'

Simplicity of the case and lugs balances the complexity of the movement. Not sure the brown strap works with the white case and black dial.

Looking forward to seeing it in the metal next time we meet my friend Excellent catch that's definitely a quite rare bird! Big congrats my friend, enjoy it and wear it in the best of health!

Hahah it seemed only fitting for me to upgrade after our last meet-up - you brought too much heat with your two grand comps, I needed a second haha See you soon

Been going to Boodles for years, but never knew of this reference. Good to know! Cool timepiece!

It's so under the radar - I'd feel comfortable wearing this with nothing but a tee-shirt in Paris honestly. Thank you !

The white indicators for the month and day certainly stands out! Probably easier to see the month and day than the time because of the special white hands and the contrast with the black dial…👍

Indeed, I was talking with a friend about legibility on dials - the 5970P is probably the most criticised in this aspect from our conversation - this one to me isn't as bad, it remains quite legible - maybe I'm not old enough yet haha

Love the dauphine hands and font ... Congrats, need it next to the 3970

You'll see them together in person when you finally show me some vintage pieces

Love it- thx for sharing 😊

Always a pleasure
