Patek Philippe

The Caliber 240 is a Beautiful Thing!...  

You have the perfect 240 collection. My Patek Philippe Collection would look like this and I'd substitute the 5180/1G with the 5102PR.

You have pretty much my dream collection! Just ad three and you'll have a complete collection of 240 variants. Fantastic! Best, Kari

Don't get me wrong, I love the Cal 240, and I think that any serious PP collection should get a watch with a Cal 240 inside. But when it comes to a brand such as Patek, I always was disturbed by seeing that the Cal 240 could be used in a simple Calatrava,... 

Hard to justify the price of the 5102 whatever they tell us. Actually the skybridge the de bethune also reminded me of that. However much i love the 5102, it just doesnt feel right. While the de bethune is not only gorgeous, cheaper, but also follows the ... 

My guess is that you don’t have a Patek Celestial? Look, … I don’t get defensive about watches because quite frankly it’s only important that they make me happy. The obvious negative certainty you express in your opinion, however, leads me to believe that...  

... that my words hit a string. Actually i agree with you as well. Don't get me wrong, i love the watch, and the celestial sky is a complication by itself, much more interesting and appealing to me than a chrono for example. But as Nicolas stated, there i... 

picture shows the beauty very well. Superb! Thanks, for sharing! Oliver

I am a big fan of these astronomical watches. And of the Celestial. But the fact that Patek used a Cal 240 for it disturbs me. Once again, this is just me and my conception of Patek Philippe. Best, and enjoy yours, it is truly splendid. Especially in whit... 

The watch you're looking at is a 6102P-001. The case is Platinum. To achieve the 3-D appearance of the constantly rotating sky and waxing and waning moon the movement clearly needs to be thin or the watch would be too thick ... which makes the 240 an exce...  

Enjoy, and thanks for defending your point of view! Best, Nicolas.

which got your interest and therefore you had to go for them "all", or was it something else? Hope you don´t mind my question, but I find it always very interesting to "understand" why somebody fall in love with something and started to collect it. In any... 

I've fielded a few responses from others who don't seem to like the 240 or at least they don't like that Patek employs this base chassis in a number of different watches? I've written opposing responses NOT because I love the 240 so much, but because I do... 

No other words to say!.

Movement which has an excellent track record. I can appreciate what other members have outlined in their concerns, but the fact that Patek deemed it to be the best movement for the job, is enough for me :) If I remember correctly Mr FP Journe, in fact des...
