Thanks for sharing Oliver!
Great report and looks like a fantastic event. I was invited to private 175th dinner in NY in first week of November with Thierry Stern and sadly can't make it as I have business trip out of town! Oh well thanks for friends with so many pics I have seen wheat I need to see. I think my favorite outside of enamel WT is the new 5575G WT.
We shall see...Best, K
PP 175th Anniversary - Some live pictures to start ... (Part I + II)
The atmosphere on Monday in Geneva was quite special. Almost everybody had no idea what will come and there have been NO leaks - something the Stern´s have been very proud of. When it comes to Patek Philippe it is quite often about context and everything ...
Thanks for these tasters.
I would also love to get at later stage your personal opinion about the new pieces. I have formed already mine. Best, Kari
Kari, my pleasure ...
and of course I will share same at a latter time. Thanks! Oliver
175th anniversary
thanks for bringing us there oliver. this celebration makes us all proud to own patek wrist watches. cheers & best geross
Must have been a unique night
Many collectors, all kind of fans to talk with... Thank you so much for taking the time to share this event with us. I'm really looking forward to read this. And of course I'm looking forward to hearing your opinion on novelties, especially on the Chrono ...
Mark, indeed it was a memorable event and ...
I appreciated it a lot, but there have been mainly press & media people on Monday and not collectors etc.. The latter arrived on Tuesday ... Will share more impressions some time soon. Thanks! Oliver
Love the new pieces....
so much better, IMHO, than the 150th (but now the quartz crisis if over, and it's a different horological world). -Dean
Dean "... much better, IMHO, than the 150th ..." ...
That is an interesting thought and I will try to come back to it. Thanks! Oliver
...will meet a fellow Purist in 30 minutes ...
it was a pleasure to meet you again Oliver ! Nice post too , must have been a very special event.. As for the watches .... what could I ask more ... a very nice worldtimer and a great chronograph. That ultra complicated piece is a work of art. Maybe not f...
"... the engraving is the best I ever saw"
I know what you are talking about and looked at it once more in my "office at the lake" ... Enough (watches) for today ... ... because when I came back home from Geneva already the next invitation by an AD was in my mail box :-) Best, Oliver ...
Thank you Oliver for this report and I look forward ...
...to your further reporting on this event and the new pieces !! Cheers, Gordon
Great report! thank you!
Oliver, whats your personal opinion re new World Timer? thanks ed
Thank you for sharing..
What a blessing you have to be able to attend the event, Oliver. Aki
The last shot of the WT Moonphase is pretty good.
I really have to see this one in the flesh... Not totally convinced, though, but.... I have to see it in the real! Best, Nicolas.
Thanks a lot
The hour striker is really nice, the enamel worldtime is beautiful too. On the HU, I am not convinced by this moonphase maybe it will look better in hand, but the realistic look does'nt appeal to me, case and hands are really nice though.
Nothing is better than live pictures ...
of watches on the wrist. Thanks a lot for sharing with us! Will take some more next week :-) Cordially, Oliver
Better than on off. pictures
Thanks a lot for sharing they are beautiful. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for sharing Oliver!

Some more live pictures and an explanation (Part II)
It seems that some of you appreciated Part I and therefore I decided to share some more live pictures from the event. I am aware that others might love to see more/only pictures about the novelties, right now. Not to speak about my personal thoughts about...
Thank you Oliver for part II, and now...
eagerly awaiting for part three and any info on the enamel pieces will be greatly appreciated !! Cheers, Gordon
I love your pictures and both watches ...
but it seems we got different numbers?! Thanks! Oliver
Possible I'm wrong
I noticed you generally have very sure sources For me, I got this information during the event but perhaps wrong
Hi ch9698...thanks for the info on 20 pieces - do you mean...
that each of the enamel pieces (and I have seen that there are others in addition to the worldtime) is limited to 20 ? thanks
I don't know
At the event, I just saw this enamel watch for man and lady I'm sure Oliver could give more informations For me, it's the only enamel watch for The 175th
I will share more info in a dedicated post ...
but there are 5089 Lake Geneva Barques, a set of four Calatrava wristwatches with dials in Cloisonné Enamel and 982/174 An Outing on the Lake, a pocket watch with miniature painting on enamel case back. Cheers, Oliver
Thanks Oliver for the fantastic coverage.............
I'm not sure what to think about all the 175th anniversary models, I guess I'll have to wait and see them in person. Thanks again for the great post. Tony
Tony, sometimes it is me and sometimes it is you ...
doing nice reports. It is all about sharing, isn´t it :-) Thanks, Tony! Oliver
The non-engraved 5175?
I see in the photos one 5157 with a plain case that has no engravings. What is the story of this one? Thanks
Another question on the 5175....
There seems to be two variations of the fully engraved watch. One that has "5 175 000" on the dial right below the "175 ans", and one that doesn't have this number What is that number and why on one watch and not the other? Thanks. ...
Great report,
Thanks Oliver! I'm happy to see rare handcrafts being used on so many pieces. The engraving on the master chime, the beautiful work on the jumping hour, As well as all the enamel dial watches. These pieces involve a lot of work and thought and in the end ...
Thornteq, I still think yours is ...
a beauty for the connoisseur and I won´t get tired to see pictures. Thanks! Oliver
