The 9-90 caliber is wonderful indeed!
And it has been used in many other cases.

When a design speaks to you
I took a look this morning at the photos I save during my research sessions . And I noticed there were three Patek Philippe ref. 2461 : I guess this design really speaks to me ! And indeed, I'd be very happy to find a nice example to buy someday . I could...
Hi Emmanuel, do all the crystal covers to the dial have an
angle ? They provide a “magical” viewing aspect to the dial. I notice this one is another shaped case😉
Not all, no. But, like you, I think those which have the angle are very appealing.
Rectangular is definitely a shape I like ! Best, Emmanuel
Lovely reference
I owned a rose gold version in immaculate condition once............ well until the glass shattered when trying to load luggage into a car :-(
When I come across nice examples well photographed,
the appeal is irresistible for me! Best, Emmanuel
The 9-90 caliber is wonderful indeed!
And it has been used in many other cases. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much, Tony!
Coming from someone who has as much style as you, that means a lot! Best, Emmanuel
Plat. for me please, quattro!
Wonderful shapes inside and outside with these beauties.
The Pt is very nice, I agree.
But I also like J and R. The only one I don’t care for is the G. Best, Emmanuel
I’m a fan of rectangular watches as well
but I find this example rather plain. I’ve never owned a watch with this type of crystal but I wonder if how it handles light would be interesting or annoying over time.
I understand what you find it plain.
But this simplicity is exactly what I like personally. With the little “twist” of the faceted crystal, which I think I would like very much on a daily basis. But I would have to experiment to be sure! Best, Emmanuel
The J would also be my first pick.
But the R with bracelet and the P with diamonds also sing to me. The only one I don’t really care for is the G. Best, Emmanuel
Love this reference. Classical and elegant!
Thank you for sharing these gems 👊 Cheers, Tim
All examples are beautiful👌
I really like the yellow gold case example but I love the bracelet on the rose gold version.
Same for me! I wouldn't mind owning the two variants,
it would be a way of solving the problem! Best, Emmanuel
I really enjoy
Those Patek series: in that time cases seemed to embrace the tight and tense shape of Cal. 9-90. I wonder how many have been produced.
I don’t know how many were made
and I don’t think it would be easy to tell, even for Patek Philippe! I love these pieces too. Best, Emmanuel
These vintage shaped watches speak to me very much also…
And particularly ref 2461 as well as ref 425. They are incredibly classy and charming, this is definitely a watch for connoisseur. As you mention to my knowledge not all were originally delivered by PP with a faceted crystal (plexi actually) but the major...
I’ve tried on the 1593 in Brussels,
when buying the 5098P, but I wasn’t convinced by the fit and look on my wrist: www.watchprosite.com Cheers, Emmanuel
