The case's shape was the first thing that attracted my attention
especially the long grooves running from north to south, from a lug to the other.
As always, the light reflection in the metal should be a very nice thing I couldn't experience yet.
Thanks a lot for sharing your pleasure Joe

Patek 5575 - a dream
This is not my watch, but it has been on my wrist all day. It is a dream to wear. Obviously, it has been posted on a number of occasions and also some excellent reviews. Technically, I cannot add to those reviews. What I can add, however, is my personal e...
I can't really comment...
yet. I have been a bit too greedy with new watches this year and thus, this one is still unused in a watch winder in the safe. Her turn will come a bit before next full moon and I can tell my impressions then. What I have noticed is that the design of the...
Sometimes it happens but not next year anymore!
I bought this year 8 Pateks and two remains still unworn. I somehow got even crazier and will pick up two more in two weeks - the watches are paid and I'm waiting like a small child waiting for a candy to see them. Anyhow, I hope that next year will be ea...
I had the same reply from Panerai for a limited edition last year...
...but I bought just one PAM from BTQ in my life, 8 PPs in just 1 year I think should open all the doors! yep, let's see Cheers, Chris
No...
Now this might make some people upset but: 1. After getting 5131G, I'm not that crazy about the dial anymore. It is fantastic to look at but too bright to wear. 2. I'm not very keen of watches made of YG or RG. 3. If I wanted, I guess I could get 5131R. N...
This is the very best way of having a watch.
Always good to save the funds for other targets. Best, Kari
Sounds like
you paid for the watch but did not get it. Do you now understand why I made four daughters? Best, Kari
The pics of this watch are amazing
However the reports from wearers of this fine piece seem to love this watch even more. What I am getting from wearers is that pictures do not do it justice Joe, I hope you get your wish and add this magnificent piece to your collection. You , like myself ...
A nice watch but...
I don't find it very legible. Sometimes (often?), the hands fade into the dial... Thanks for your post! Fx
Sometimes but
overall it is superb I love mine and find it very hard to take off. I am not really in Kari's league but I have had a couple of new PP's this year and I like this one the most
it has its own solution....
.....because the watch is so mesmerising, one stares at it all day......legibility soon emerges!!
Very surprising, Baron...
Yes, a great watch, but not the one I would picture as your "dream" watch.... Looking forward to see it on your wrist next time we meet, dear friend! Best Blomman
something in the language maybe..... [nt]
a dream as in a watch one thinks about a lot.....not a single dream.

Both great watches.....
.....the 5575 gets the edge for me for a few reasons. Having the moon phase complication makes it just that bit special....aesthetics are strong on both. I wouldn't want to choose.... ...so didn't!
it is a great reference , I'll add a few pics I took months ago
btw, if you had to guess .... any idea how many are still left ? Total production is 1300 Are they half way, or do you think most of the 1300 are already delivered ? How long would it take to deliver the last piece ? 1 year ? 2 years ? ...
Hi Baron, having access to wear the 5575 whenever you want = "effective" ownership ! Congrats !
Agree with you that this reference is excellent aesthetically. My friends (collectors or not) all think the 5575 is attractive. Cheers, Gordon
Indeed a stunning piece
Long time dear Joe! That's a gorgeous piece. I understood the madness around it and the hefty premium (even more than the chrono) once i started wearing it. It really has something magic about it. A fantastic watch! ...
to be blunt....
.....i applied for the plat chrono.....but didn't really have a hope. I was offered the 5575 and when i saw it in the flesh, was happier that it turned out that way around.
i think you will love...
... the 5975J. Has a very nice vintage feel and a warm dial.
Yes....
The watch has a photogenic personality. Similar on the wrist. This is an icon already.
Lovely photos!
I applaud you on these pictures and thanks for posting! I have been waiting for months for my one to arrive which it duly has and is waiting for me to collect. I am making a special trip this weekend to collect from its homeland....I am rather excited! I ...
Thanks
Thank you, I am certain I won't be! Part of my dilemma in deciding to go for it is that I already have the 5130J but I believe there is enough of a difference to keep me happy with both!
Given the big differences between 5575 and 5131, you should...
... wear one on each wrist ! Cheers Gordon
