Patek Philippe

Thanks for your comment but....

 

if that's really what you think, I would recommend you to look for that brands that create weird monster...

If you want someone to spot (far away from you) that you are wearing a PATEK (or a high-end, luxury watch), I think most Patek models would not be your choice.

Please remember that Patek has a TRUE tradition and TRUE history. What it means is that they had created something very classic and successful a long time ago.... and these would be "borrowed" by other from time to time. One of the very good example is 5098... what do you think? Is it a FM?

Anyway, if you would like to use the watch to WOW people, there is only a few choice from PP that can satisfy your need.

Actually, I, personally, believe that a hi-jewel... full of diamonds and gems Rolex can have a better "WOW" effect smile ... Like this one:





or (at least this)





p.s.: BTW, is that Lange shown above so "Lange"? It looks like a Chronoswiss to me smile

Patek vs. Lange ...

 
By: -=EHH=- : August 14th, 2007-10:18
Hello all, Here are two pictures I received from a friend, who, btw, requested to stay anonymous. Front: And back: And a question: ""Is the Patek "worth" twice the price of the Lange?"" If you search the (incredible!) Antiquorum website, you will find two...  

Not even in the same league

I would take the Lange and buy a nice Journe with with extra 25k left over.

amen to that

or take the left over 25k and buy another Lange!

I wonder......

who Patek is actually targeting to purchase that watch It certainly is not the "purist". _Ron

Just wondering.... did you ever see both watches in metal?

For me, I did.... and I picked 5565 without a second thought. Since you asked for comments..... I believe, for most (if not all) true PP collectors, they admire the TRUE tradition, TRUE history, TRUE value, TRUE classic of PP. It is hardly any brand that ...  

Looks like an Oris

From an investment perspective it's clearly the better watch. But really, it's a fairly pedestrian piece of work. The mystique of the brand name adds a lot, in this case.

Thanks for your comment but....

I only happen to own fairly classical watches, including a 5127R. I'm just saying I find the 5565 a rather tedious marketing exercise, aimed at rewarding good customers by essentially giving them a stainless steel Calatrava guaranteed to rise in value.

Agreed

It's an okay watch, nothing more, and Patek is just so successful at luring us all in, including me--until lately. Everything Patek does strikes me as shameless.
