Patek Philippe

Sector dial lovers

I love sector dial watches and asked to see 5296 versions.

Here is the RG version which recently gave me interest to look again to these referencies:

Then wanted to see the WG version:

My Thoughts after seeing these 2 versions.

I love the 2 tone dial on this sector version.

My favorite is the WG due to the combination of WG, grey colors and BLUE printings.

My wish would be that Patek Philippe offers a more height (volume) blue color printing on the inner circle and lines to give more life to this superb designed dial.

I hope Mr Thierry Stern will look at this post and surprised me in 2018 ;-))

A wonderful experience on wrist.

What do you think about these 2 under radar models?

Best,

Patrickh

Like you I vote for the white gold version. More modern in my opinion. Nevertheless, this model is a little bit "sad" for me. Of course, it's just my taste

Agree. Too sad. If PP will just modify the inner print as LF did, I would fall in love with it

The first picture of the WG model shows really well the different decorations

This is a very interesting aspect of these sector dials. Thanks Patrick Best, Mark

Thanks for sharing Patrick...

I like the WG version, I agree it suits the dial better than the colored gold. Date window is obtrusive imho. It breaks the flow in the sector design. LF & Habring did it well. Best, mahesh.,

So, have to get 2 sector dial watches with and without date ;-))

Love the LF galet square boreal. Thanks Mahesh. Cheers, Patrickh

this way you got twice lucky...

I agree with Mahesh and Patrick both

I love my 5296g sector dial but it would be even better without date And so yes, as you rightly said Patrick, there's space for another no- date sector dial in the collection! ...

I love your taste NT931. Thanks for these 2 beauties on your wrist.

By: patrickh : April 23rd, 2017-01:06

Do not hesitate to share other photos outside, as I was frustrated to take only indoor photos ;-))) HAGWE, Patrickh

Thank you Patrick! I am fortunate to have this pair.

By: NT931 : April 23rd, 2017-01:45

There are, fortunately, several very nice 5296 sector dial pictures from fellow purists here - searching '5296 sector' throws up many pictures taken by better photographers than me Some of them very nicely illustrate this interesting phenomenon where the ...

Really appreciated. Thanks +++

By: patrickh : April 23rd, 2017-02:46

By your photos outside pleased me very much ;-))) Habring and PP on a same photo under different angles (+ back sides) should be of high interest IMHO. Best, Patrickh

Here's a third sector dial 5296 that is way under the radar.

Wow. Congratulations Patekova. Is it yours? If so, please post other photos. I like ++++ this version in RG or in WG. Best, Patrickh

Hi Patrickh, I prefer the

By: GLau : April 22nd, 2017-23:48

WG version because the color combination (WG case, blue hands, and gray dial) is more complementary. This watch I have seen in the metal and is lovely. The LF version (from your photo) is also interesting, although I have not seen it in the metal. Cheers,...

Gordon, the LF micro-rotor is INCREDIBLE

By: patrickh : April 23rd, 2017-01:03

When you look at one in real, you have to get one. The next questions are: - what case: Galet or Galet Square? - what dial? Enjoy your first meeting with LF collection. Mr Laurent FERRIER is a GREAT MAN and also a fantastic watchmaker. Best, Patrickh

Hi Patrickh, I have seen the LF Galet

By: GLau : April 23rd, 2017-01:15

Traveler with enamel dial, very enticing ! I held my ground although I was tempted, especially given how weak I am generally with artisanal dials ! Cheers, Gordon

Another friend, after seeing mine has

bought the Traveler Galet Square boreal with green luminova and he LOVES it ++++++ Cheers, Patrickh

i had the "R" before it was stolen off my wrist. nice, but slightly nervous dial. i think the "G" is the better version.

Sorry to read that sad story, Tony.

Thank you for your advice regarding the WG version. Cheers, Patrickh
