I can't say no more, you just described the perfect feeling to own this beauty
Advanced Research or Advanced Pleasure ? What are your experiences.
In January, I was able to finally locate a new 5550P while traveling in Europe. Although I liked the pictures and the idea behind this wonderful piece when it was introduced in 2011, I immediately fell in love when I saw it in the metal. The rest is priva...

Fifty shades of grey!
Not that I have read the book or seen the movie but your latest catch, your latest coup is really sexy! An amazing looking watch with the future in watchmaking ticking inside. Enjoy Moritz
I cannot say it is not a nice watch. A discrete but undisputable elegance.
Now, silicon or no silicon? That is a question some brands, which used to use both silicon and no silicon escapements, start to think about. The no lubirification system is a very good point. But some watchmakers told me that you can adjust a movement wit...

Extremely well done
Enjoy the private history you have made while acquiring this beautiful piece!
the 5550 is a beauty, and I had the pleasure of seeing, touching and wearing it when...
I had drinks with a Patek person. This watch is so so thin !!
advanced pleasure every time you wear
absolutely a joy to own & a pleasure to wear. pleasure in every sense of the word. congrats & cheers geross
Maintenance schedule of adv research refs different?
Does Patek indicate that the normally scheduled maintenance periods change when it comes to references that utilize advanced research components?
I misundersood your question. Evidently PP recommends service before warranty ends ???
On the actual Certificate of Origin - no mention of service schedule. It states 5 year warranty. In the Advanced Research Book, p. 33, service recommended every 3-5 years. There is 5 year warranty statement again in the WARRANTY section p. 30, but then......
My two cents
I've not any experience with the AR because i still prefer the traditional escapement and i am pretty uncertain about the silicon usage in horology. From an aesthetic point of view i still prefer the old but always beautiful ref. 3940 which is, for my per...
I am with you on the smaller 27 and 5 date font size on 5140 vs 3940...however
the "+" things I liked about 5550 overwhelmed my "-" thoughts about the font size issue. What I like about 5550 dial are the subtle contrast created by the yg baton hour markers and luminous leaf hands giving a greater depth perception to the dial in spit...
I called earlier this 5550P "my nightmare watch".
And the nightmare continues. I wonder how long? Anyhow, it's a wonderful and very special watch. Best, Kari
I need to sleep well = need to do something.
Thanks for the nice pictures. How would you compare 5550P to the Anniversary World Time? Best, Kari
Hard to answer to your question
it's 2 totally different watches If I had to choose, I'll keep your nightmare But if I had to choose with all my Patek, none of the 2 will stay... Sorry to be such a spoiled child
The watch is simply stunning!
Whoever designed the dial should be given an extra adda-boy. Pleasing case, great movement and a breath taking dial .. the perfect horological storm. What a watch!
Probably the most gorgeous modern Patek dial along with the 5235
Its an awesome piece, even without an of the advanced mechanics. Many congrats on what is truely a rare beauty. Best Imrab
Have you changed your name again Miranda?
Imrab... Sound very individualistic. Best, Kari PS. I agree what you say about 5550P - my nightmare watch.
Do you happen to know what
"Getting Equal" means in our part of the world? Best, Kari
