Patek Philippe

Thanks FX

 

Wonderful and insightful review.


My personal take is it is a sound move to introduce more options for women. The twenty four was intended to appeal to a new generation of women and has been most successful. Nowadays more women are more particular and interested and quite often I hear women asking for whether a particular watch is quartz or mechanical. Usually mechanical is what they would like. However many are primarily driven by the aesthetics if given the choice. So strategy should be aesthetically appealing mechanical ladies watch. A natural evolution of the twenty four. The thinking makes perfect sense.

Whether this release is successful or not will be evident in time. My personal take is 34mm, no date, different dial design twenty four.... so same bracelet, same case design, same movement. But that is just me.... oh, and water resistant to 100m.... just my 5c

Hands on review of the Patek Philippe Twenty-4 Automatic

 
By: foversta : October 15th, 2018-13:28
Patek Philippe has just unveiled in Milan its latest ladies' watch, the Twenty-4 Automatic. Let's make no mistake about it: I consider this launch as the most important one from the Geneva brand this year. Because it is a collection that aims to generate ...  

Great review, thanks very much! 👍🏻 I agree, as all about the watch has been said already in the various threads...

I did not know the video yet. Yes, I agree here as well. It goes in the right direction. BUT exactly here we have the dilemma! The product does not fit the marketing campaign at all! Here a Nautilus or an Aquanaut would fit... For that price I would certa... 

Very good and honest report. Thank you !

Three things i dont understand and i think they can do it better. 1. I dont understand what the designer was thinking about this step in the bezel ? It vests very easily and i dont think it looks beautiful. 2. No screwed down case back in this price class...  

An excellent review; but still not a special enough product... I'm a Patek Philippe fan, and a fan of the rectangular Twenty-4 Model, but not a fan of this watch...

A superb review of a dull and uninteresting product. Furthermore, something that Patek Philippe doesn't realize; there are a large amount of sophisticated Chinese women clients, who buy MEN's watches such as the 5140R, 5297G for their own use. Depending o... 

Not a fan of the design

But Patrick don’t forget a lot of Chinese customers buy the name and not the watch itself. So it could still do well in the market.

Absolutely. It will likely sell well.

Ferrari's California was known to be a "starter" Ferrari, it was initially shunned. But now it's very popular. This Patek Philippe will either be very popular from the beginning or eventually be popular after a slower start.

But it could also

Become the next Neptune like below said. Bottom line, for the price they are asking, I would buy rose gold Daytona for my wife every time. And forgot to add, I agree with you, the original 24 is far better in design.

EXACTLY

Modularity!

 
By: RGS : October 16th, 2018-01:23
You are right on the concept of modularity for this new collection. Spot on! More strap options. Rubber and alligator off course with color options. Patek made an Aquanaut with an orange rubber strap option on it, so why not make something similar for the...
