Some of these look like knock-offs (I know they're not)...
...the design is over-the top and a bit cheesy imho. Subtlety was not part of the design process...
More Patek Philippe "complicated" retrograde perpetual calendars
Yesterday, I could and should have included the following references, which belong to Patek Philippe's "complicated" retrograde perpetual calendars: The Sky Moon Tourbillon is a double-faced wristwatch with 12 complications : Minute repeater with “cathedr...
Dazzling!
The engraving, enamel work, engraving on the hands, an more. Even if you prefer simple, it's still amazing. My favorite is the 5002G. Seems like the thickness must be like wearing a tank (military, not Cartier) on your wrist. Many thanks for your threads,...
I completely agree with you: it's dazzling, even if somehow completely extravagant.
I personally like the "basket-weave" pattern of the bespoke 5001T very much and I like it better than the Calatrava cross motif of the 5002. As for the Roman numerals, I like both variants equally: either engraved on the larger bezel, like 5001T, or appli...
Yes, and it has nothing to do with branding,
whereas the Calatrava motif has (and I personally prefer very discreet branding).
A superb reference point for those who question Pateks supremacy.
Great job, thank you!
Yes, those how pretend Patek is declining should look and know better.
Thanks for the kind words.
These are WOW 🤩 pieces ! For me, it is
6002 because of the enamel dial and the engraving is superb ! Another excellent post my friend 👍
The engravings of the 6002 are WOW indeed,
but I find the brand name at the bottom of the dial too large and a bit 'agressive'. And I really dig the 'basket-weave' dial and case pattern of the 5001T... Thanks for the kind words!

I find it interesting to read how you feel about it
and I certainly understand what you mean. But I personally respond to the ‘raw’ (I’m not sure it’s the right word) design of the 5001T and 5002. Not subtle, but not too heavily decorated like the other references (at least that’s how I feel).
I share your preference.
These are certainly very extravagant watches. But I nevertheless like the 5001T and 5002 much more than I thought I would. I find many events of the design very pleasing.
Yes, the 5001, 5002 & 6002 are approximately the size of an
Omega Planet Ocean Ultra-deep 6000m (45.5x18.1) or 600m (43.5x16.1). So titanium is probably very welcome indeed. But when you buy such a watch, feeling the weight on the wrist (especially with the platinum 5002) is probably part of the pleasure…
I personally found very interesting to watch Tim Mosso's
review and unboxing, as well as his discussion with Brian Govberg. Review Unboxing Dialogue with Brian Govberg
I like them a lot specially the latest ones
Reminds me this knife too (Swiss brothers) ...
I personally incline very much towards the 5001T and 5002.
I added, in one of my answers above to mdg, the links to 3 Tim Mosso's videos which I find very interesting. Thanks for looking!
If i could go all out and crazy i would pick the 6002 rose gold brown dial
I have a soft spot for engravings 😉👌🏻
