Three Gilbert Albert designed Patek Philippe
I know these watches are well known and have been brought back to light recently, but they're so good looking that I couldn't resist making this post. Hopefully, you'll enjoy it.
Gilbert Albert (1930-2019) became head of the Patek Philippe workshop from 1955 to 1962, during which he coined signature asymmetrical watches for the house, especially the three references below.
Best to you all.

Now you’re talking 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
While the 3424 is my favorite of the trio all of them have a really unmistakable charm in my eyes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great post on the shaped watches ! They are
usual and have certain charm due to their asymmetry. The 3412 is most interesting to me with the sharp angles 👍
Thanks for the kind words !
I think my personal favorite is the 3422, which is sharper than the 3424, but less than the 3412: the happy medium! 😅
Roni Madhvani seems to be also key
to the attention Revolution and Hodinkee, through which I personally came to know them, paid to these wonderful watches.
Totally agree❣️ Very cool pieces playing with (optical) distortion ! 🤩
However - a nightmare to source straps, unless from PP… 😅
Yes, it's certainly a bit funky for a man.
But I'm sure some know would know how to wear it with style!
