This vs That
So on one hand (no pun intended), we have on the same day, CBB posting about her father's 6002, and also another post about the Tiffany 5740 piece unique. In my view, CBB's post represents everything Patek is, the Tiffany 5740 represents everything Patek is not.
What happened to the 5740 Tiffany dial pics?!?
Anyone know what happened to the thread for the 5740 Tiffany dial 1/1 ?? Picture censored??
The original post was intended to share the existence of a piece unique. Unfortunately
many replies were not conducive to a cordial discussion. Hence the post was deleted.
The sentiment is not befitting of our times
Or our forum. Firstly, this isn’t a watch that anyone can relate to because it’s been made for one person, for very specific reasons. Secondly, I think the sentiment around this watch is pretty negative, especially when Patek acts in the interest of one p...
Thank you Nico
I am old school. I don’t care for a lot of things in life anymore. I like things to be simple and uncomplicated. Live a purposeful, meaningful life — that’s way more important. Best Gatsby
You couldn't have put it in better words
Life is way too short to focus on one thing.
+1…
… That was superbly put and I would second the request to the moderators to keep the post up. Not all discussions around every brand’s actions will be positive and as long as the discourse is civil, I hope this site allows us to call those out. Just my hu...
Haven’t seen them all…
… so will defer to you on that. Maybe removing the non-civil comments and leaving those that are opinions which are expressed civilly, no matter how negative those opinions may be, would be another way to go?
Sorry to hear that Gordon…
I will strive to keep it civil at all times. After all, this forum is a great place to be in. I enjoy coming in here to shoot the breeze and talk watches. Best Gatsby
Nicely stated
I believe censorship based on negativity is not conducive to a broad based discussion on this topic. There are those that question why the Arnaults decided to post the picture such as myself… Threads should not be banned simply because of criticisms. I re...
I’m confused, doesn’t Patek make piece unique watches for many customers and haven’t we seen some of those unique pieces posted here before?
What’s the issue with piece unique specifically? I’m not following why that is a justification for not posting a watch. This also extends to your second point, Patek absolutely acts in the interest of one person all the time. Special collectors get specia...
I completely agree with you, no idea what the fuss is all about.
Anger over the lack of availability of PP sport's watches boiling over?
Definitely no anger from me mate
Just stating my views. And as I said, I can’t relate to the watch. Best Gatsby
I guess we view the matter differently
And it’s okay to agree to disagree. But one thing I do agree is that the watch doesn’t mean anything to me — it’s just a different colored dial. Regards Gatsby
100%, we should be able to agree. And maybe I misunderstood; were you restating the objections in the deleted post? I read your post as being your thoughts.
If the latter I guess my question still stands and I’m not exactly opposing your view rather I’m trying to understand better why a unique watch like this is seen as not relatable and therefore negatively viewed, when we have seen lots of unique watches he...
Jay…
I think it would be reasonable to assume that that Tiffany blue dial color was reserved for the 170th anniversary only. But then it got reinstated on the 5740 for only Bernard Arnault. And it feels as though that’s only possible because he’s the CEO of LV...
I agree that this watch, or dial, has gotten enough airtime.
Thanks for your explanation, I understand where you are coming from. I still see unique watches, which cannot be simply bought by money alone to use your qualification above, that don’t receive the same negativity. But so be it. One difference with this o...
Thanks Jay
I do agree that not all unique timepieces receive negativity from the general watch collecting public. I do personally enjoy seeing some of these watches being discussed on forums or other social media platforms. As you’ve mentioned, Patek has done so for...
Dear Gatsby, I just saw your post today.
I fully agree with you. My respect for your honesty. I personally don't have to have to own everything myself. I can also FULLY enjoy things from a distance and share the happiness and luck with the owners. I am able to look at beautiful watches in a very...
Thank you Thomas for your kind words
Look forward to chatting with you more on the forum. Wishing you a good week ahead mate. Best Gatsby
Thanks a lot, Gatsby, for your nice reply.
Yes, I am sure we will have a lot to chat about on our forum. I am looking forward to it, too. ☺️
The watch is a clear message
No matter how wealthy you can be, you can buy some pretty expensive and unique Patek, but I'll buy the whole factory 🤑🤑🤑🤑 It's funny how collectors have reacted to this watch. Patek is still more than Nautilus and Aquanaut, there are tons of classic watch...
As I said...Thierry being nice to make sure he gets a good price

Just a thought,
But isn’t removal of specific comments more favorable than deleting the whole thread? Yes censorship is always a matter for debate, but to wipe something out completely because of a few bad comments deprives everyone the opportunity to be respectfully voc...
Thank you Gordon!
It would be a shame if a few bad apples had the ability to silence the respectful participation of others.
