Trying on 5226
What do you think? My wife and i happened to pass by a local dealer here in Singapore - with no queue in front of the store. We decided to inquire about the 5226 - they did have an exhibition piece hence decided to try it on … and voila. Simply amazing. T...
I had no idea you wanted one of these! I am surprised this is a Patek you would chose.
You are a man of many mysteries
LOL. My wife says the same as she cant figure me out! There is something i cannot explain about this one that draws me in!
Maybe it is the casual chic vibe
Sometimes a watch just sings to us. To me, that's a big part of what makes this such a special hobby!
Everyone is an individual, with individual nuances, and that's great.
Unless you need it immediately, *personally* I'd wait on a call from the AD....not only you'll save tens of $k vs. market price, but this reference is frankly one of the best bets to build a "Patek relationship", which is invaluable these days ;-)
BUT, this is entirely your decision of course, and I very much hope to see this stunning Patek on your wrist either way! Cheers.
I swear...
You and I have remarkably similar tastes. I went yesterday, and I am pretty convinced I am going to pull the trigger. I went in wanting to hate it, but left wanting to have it. It is unexpectedly charming. ...
Thank you!
I am a believer in some skin tones being better for certain watches. This watch works well with my ruddy skin tone (normally greys and tans work best, blue is not my color).
It looks amazing in that picture! Was that a demo or a piece you could have bought right there?
I hope we both get one then!
This was a piece I could have purchased yesterday, but...
I recently purchased a 5205G last September, a Bulgari OF last September, an Explorer in December, etc. - I like to put some time in between my purchases, and these were three that I just happened to get allocated (well, except the Bulgari) in one fell sw...
Looks fine on your wrist given its more sporty looks 👀!
I need to see the textured dial in the metal. The dial looks quite unusual in photos.
✅✅
Please don’t get mad at me. That watch is beyond gorgeous. But I would like it better with no date. I hate to sound like Nico. Lol
I was
Lucky enough to pick one up yesterday and I fully agree that pictures do not do it justice. I really love it. ...
The genius of Stern!
He said he wanted to refocus on Patek’s core dress watch business and not become a Nautilus-centric brand. With several casual Calatravas and stainless steel complications with waitlists, he seems to have accomplished his mission. I love the authentic “pa...
Big hobnail bezel fan so...
...it was interesting to see it on the case. It seems that with this tone of the dial, it would have made more sense for the case to be J or R. The dial appears warn but the case is cool...
Looks fabulous!!!
That dial always reminds of seeing millions of stars out in space. Very magical! Have you decided to go for it?
This is an excellent release
Patek has succeeded in freshening up the Calatrava line over the past couple of years, by moving towards a more casual look. This textured dial is quote appealing and finely balanced. It's important that the "entry level" pieces have appeal beyond being m...
