Patek Philippe

The night 5370P No words needed as I’m still collecting my jaw This is what sex on a strap looks like ...  

Congratulations 🥳

But pleasurable experience nonetheless

Way too large for me when I tried it on at the Patek Salon two weeks ago. Well done on acquiring a sublime watch!

It’s for a friend of mine

I wish I could claim it’s ownership specially as mentioned it has been discontinued

and without Lume hands, this will be my ultimate grail. Right now my grail Patek is either 3448, 5959 or 5004. 2499 is non achievable.

and for me it was at the edge of the size I prefer to wear. But it was perfectly acceptable on my 7.25" wrist. And it is indeed a beauty : )

If I have a 7.25" wrist, many contemporary watches will be perfect size for me. Even the vintage small watches will look good and refine on a big wrist. Sigh.

I don't mind wearing 'small' watches, but I do value thin watches, or at least those that have an appropriate hight to width ratio. Some of the older complications are very thick imho....too much for a 'dress' watch. When spending this kind of $ it is alw... 

its not single its multiple on a strap

Change the dial and hands and there you have a grail. Good job we all hunt different grails. Great case and movement though. Hope your friend finds years of pleasure with his watch. M.

IMO that is. M.

I really wanted to love this piece and have tried it on multiple times... but it just doesn't fit well on my wrist. A 47mm Greubel Forsey looks better on my wrist than this 5370P... it's just an unusual fit. If it was 2mm smaller with an improved lug desi...

It’s thicker but smaller diameter

Now you’ve got me because there are only 2-3 Patek models I really like and this is one of them. If I’m not mistaken this one still has the Lemania movement doesn’t ? It looks stunning. I know of only one brand who has such a similar real black dial with ...

Make it feel a bit stacked and weird looking on my wrist

I made this assumption too when I looked at them in pictures, but found a world of difference in the metal. The 5370P has a lot of wrist presence as well as intricate details that one only appreciates in person.

5204 is an awesome watch but I am not a fan of the upside down moon phase and squashed numerals on the 5204. I prefer the 5372P

If I could upload the images I would. 🤔

I recall an author mentioning the black enamel dial of 5370P is "darker than the Satan's basement"! I hope they come up with a 5370P with a blue enamel dial and Breguet numerals.

Spot on description

Really changes the look...makes it seem sportier. On the lume issue, I don’t mind it at all. White gold hands can get lost on a black dial...the lume makes it very easy to read. And a split-second chrono is the definition of a ‘sporty’ watch.
