The font does not detract
from the beauty on this Patek, IMHO... (as adam.kieth said...) but I do agree the large font on some newer Pateks is verging on XXLL.... which in my mind, starts to give the impression of a lack of confidence of some sort... but!!! XXLL is the way these days... not my style however.
Back to THIS watch: to me, classically beautiful Patek.... almost worth riding the bus for---uh, aaaaaalmost!
What happens when you spend all your money on a watch
you take public transport. - SJX Property of a gentleman:...
Awesome to see...
such a watch being used on public transportation! Begs the thought... would this shot be different if the gentleman had purchased say a 5016? Thanks for sharing. Great shot BTW. Guess the owner didn't have to sell off his camera yet.
Sometimes public transport is the best way to travel....
Lovely MR The great thing about travelling on public transport and wearing such a masterpiece, is that only 0,00000000000000000001% of the population would know what it was, everyone else would think that it was a cheap dress watch!!
"Email" doesn't bother me in the least, but...
PP, can we PLEASE go back to a reasonably sized, non-gaudy font for the "Patek Philippe" dial signature? Such a wart on an otherwise incredible (and wonderfully understated) masterpiece. Sadly the blingy signature is becoming more and more commonplace on ...
You NEED such an accurate watch as public transport is always on time !!!
Not joking ! I do believe and take part in public transport and feel very, very good about NOT poluting the environment too much. Luxury is a watch like this and not a car with 500 bhp that consumes 30 liter as you are queueing with 120 km/h on the motorw...
Bus, subway, trains and taxis for me too!
I don't own a car but do collect watches from simple ones to grand complications. Owning a car is a hassle in my view but then I live in NYC where I can rely on the public transport system.

What a fantastic watch, Although I can't help but agree, the new signature and email are real turn offs for me as well. Rishad
And even.....
if public transportation is not on time, well at least you can hear time passing by...... Cheers
You fix your priorities by saving up for the next Patek. And then ..
instead of public transportation you walk.
I already take public transportation...
I already take public transportation several times a week. I think if I spent all my money on watches, I just wouldn't leave the house.
I get a kick out of wearing my watches in unorthodox places
Dress watches at swimming, chronographs at work. There is pleasure to be had in this. And I think this Repeater looks superb ... in any setting. Andrew
The email there at 6 o'clock gets me
And so does the platinum case! Thanks for sharing! Stephen
