Patek generally has a white window to the dates...ot gives the contrast or appearance of beig an hour indeces whereas the same colour it would look like something is missing
...than Patek did here. Note, for instance, how much more sophisticated the treatment of the date window frame is on the JLC. The JLC design(s) are also more reflective of the brand's heritage (IMO) than the Patek. In all honesty, despite their prestige a...
One way to explain it (besides the expected demand for this model, but that would have been impossible to meet anyway with any reasonable numbers!😂) is the recent discontinuation of several Calatrava references...As we are going to see more modern/casual ...
New York Grand Exhibition offered 600 pieces of 5522 just for the US market. The 5522, in a steel case with an "affordable price point", flew out the door, and after around 3 years, it remains highly sought after as evidenced by secondary pricing. Will si...
But I like it, a fresh design that keeps with the 5000-6000 references. Maybe on a jeans blue rubber tropic strap? Something I cannot unsee: photo credit Zeitauktion ...
It is interesting to follow the reactions in this forum and elsewhere about this new watch. I think it is an excellent move from Patek. This watch has enough ingredients to be called "original Patek" and not to be mistaken with other brands. At the same t...
One more piece of information as I added in the other thread: this version will be available for Euros 26,149 or $28,351. I’m still not clear when it hits the ADs, but hopefully by the end of the year. More to follow. Cheers🥂
it should have a success for sure in youngsters. Could be more impressed if : - the case was made in Tantalum or in Titanium - there is no date. Now,, after this 2019 Calatrava, I am waiting to discover the new 2020 Calatrava line with another case design...
which of course has to be approved. I agree that the watch will look better with a date but when Patek uses its 324 caliber, chances are the date will exist. I usually like my watches without a date window but I think my 5212 looks great with it and my fo...
I seem to be focusing on modern steel Pateks so this 6007 was a no brainer, date or no date! I don't follow JLC so resemblances to the Memovox meant little to me. But a steel Patelk - that's something else.
He told me furthermore that he had to submit a list with the names of customers interested in the watch. So it seems that at least PP in Germany tries to check out possible buyers before allocation of the watch. Good idea imho.
The point is that customers must be individually approved by Patek, hence above the AD level (not necessarily by Geneva though). At least in general, providing a copy of your updated list of Pateks can only help, and we’ve all done it at some point👍
I feel that this model is following the "trends". And definitely something that Omega would do. Patek needs to consistently set itself apart and not cave into modern day trends.
traditional style and patterns. A watch company who does not develop new ideas will not survive on the long run. For the time being I find the 6007A interesting but not More. I‘m not sure if I like it enough to buy it if I should get the chance. As always...
Only reason why it'd get so much attention is because it's from Patek Philippe. And it's kind of overpriced for a steel watch. I'll take a white gold 6000 or 6006 any day if I want a slightly sporty and slightly strange Calatrava with date.
This 5522 is a derivative of the 5524 which was so controversial when it came out because many thought it looked like IWC and had no Patek DNA. Thereafter, PuristS found vintage aviation references which inspired the 5524 and then bestowed the 5524 with P...
