Tempted by Sham1's post....i knocked the doors of Patek Salon @ Place Vendôme !

I must say - this is something exceptional with Patek which ever salon you visit, 


they take remarkable effort and time to make you comfortable, share the history of Patek and go the extra-mile to explain you the entire collection range.

i say it 'exceptional' because - they do all of it, even when they hear it explicit from you that you JUST would like to see the watches.

in addition, i got a bunch of goodies, Patek magazines - again, just a walk-in watch nut who didn't have a Patek or don't plan to buy one in this visit either !

Thanks to Mr. Bernardo @ Paris Salon - appreciate the time.



5960G - the blue grained dial with hints of red - seriously intoxicating & youthful watch...you feel those emotions on the wrist !

personally i'm not a fan of Chronographs, but this one - keeps coming back in my mind since i saw it today.



5905p has a beautiful dial, sharing the same movement 5960G but the watch has a more 'matured' feel on the wrist & of course the heft of Pt comes with it smile 

one thing that felt different, 42mm - may be PP target group is different ;-)




5320G - I personally like this PC than the 5327 family...may be it is just me ! On 5327 i think the sub-dials makes it a tad cluttery ?!

i feel the dial is much cleaner, has more clean space, better legibility !! 






and finally...i see what i came to see....



5212A - it feels extremely light, practical and a very very functional watch it is !

I feel the opaline dial is very elegant and the dial is legible even with so many things going on the dial !! 

the 'handwritten' characters on the dial - lot of fun, in a very positive way.

this is probably the Patek's watch for the  'new generation' of fans - completely detached from its earlier complications.






good week ahead all !


Best,
mahesh.,

thumbs up for Patek. At least on this subject

Definitely first class service

And from my experience all sales staff are very professional helpful and kind. A really great experience as you rarely get anywhere else...

Can’t agree more Mike...

in deed the strength of Patek, if I can say so !

glad you had such a great experience,

I have to say that both Geneva and Paris salons are top ! The one in London is a bit different I found... Out of curiosity, what sort of goodies did you get from Paris? Kev

I agree it is very compelling one

already smitten by... You should be able to recognize this one 😜 ...  

was the 5212A for sale or just a show piece?

i was in the PP salon in paris the other day and did not even ask for it...

It is a show piece

I was told first customer watch for the salon will reach in next 3-4 month & already there is a waitlist.

My post an inspiration?!

Thank you for your kind words Mahesh but you took some excellent photos of some lovely watches and needless to say the ones you took of the 5212A were quite perfect. I always found the Patek Salon in Paris a bit on the small side with not so much stock bu... 

I love Place Vendome

arguably my favourite place in Paris and that is without even entering the shops or the Ritz. Just standing there is nice. I guess I am just comparing the Paris Salon to that in London and Geneva or even to Breguet on Place Vendome.

What an amazing experience. You went to the mecca of all Patekistas. 👍

Thanks for the pictures. Very much appreciated. Geross 😉

Thanks for the wonderful selection Mahesh. I only visited the Paris Salon once, but their service was indeed impeccable. Then once that my girlfriend was in Paris by herself two years ago...

...I sent her there to the same lady that I dealt with, and she (my girlfriend) came out of the Salon with a rare handcraft book for me! Nice gestures that I don't forget, it will be a mandatory stop for me next time that I'm in Paris. Cheers

& if you happen to visit Paris
