Very fun series
I can’t help but think the real way this should have been executed is a monopusher. Although now this is never done by hand, if you were taking someone pulse and say you messed up your count , or wanted to average two runs, it would be slick to not have to move your hand to reset. Also if you wanted to do perhaps pulse then go into respiration. Fun commemorative piece however.
Patek Philippe ref. 5975 - An Overview
During my recent stay in Geneva, I was able to try on the Patek Philippe Triple Scale Flyback Chronograph ref. 5975 in its white gold version. A/ WHITE GOLD REF. 5975G-001 What makes this chronograph absolutely special is the absence of any sub-dial and t...
Love the look of this…
…would never use some of the scales. I remember reading a review years ago that was critical of something related to the pushers…feel maybe? Can’t remember now, but it’s a classic-looking beauty, and thin. I’ll take J…
It's the lugs I like the most, personally.
The dial, I don't know if I fully love it... Best, Emmanuel
The P is rare and more modern-looking,
but, like you, I think colored gold works better here (for my taste). Best, Emmanuel
If everybody likes a J or an R can I have a P?
I'd want a white metal for this Patek "tool watch" and find the G a bit bland. I am always thinking of calipers for the wrist when I think of this ref. Doesn't seem get much love compared to say a 5170 or 5172 but I like it very much.
Please, help yourself and take P of course! ;-)
Is it the lugs which make you think of calibers for the wrist? I think the absence of traditional chrono sub-dials and the fairly "busy" dial explain why this ref. isn't as much loved as the 5170 or 5172 (just my guess). Best, Emmanuel
Less the lugs but more the scales ...
... have me think of calipers given both are clever tools for measuring stuff.
Oh, yes of course,
I’m not familiar enough with the word caliper, but now I get it! I should buy one for myself btw, it would be very useful!
I really like black
Emmanuel thank you so much for the informative series you post, learning a lot from them. ❤️

It's a flyback chronograph, though!
So no need to move your finger to restart. Best, Emmanuel
Oh, lovely. The platinum for me please.
It doesn’t look as legible as the gold versions but I like the style a lot. The case on this model is fantastic, and even the box looks impressive. Thanks for your post, Emmanuel. All the best, Jon
I agree with you, Jon: the case design is wonderful.
The Pt variant is more contemporary looking and I definitely understand the appeal. It's also the rarest! Best, Emmanuel
another wonderful expose .You are right these watches were ( and currently are ) not desirable In fact I think they may be trading below retail price_ I am not sure
There are a number of anniversary pieces that have not been financial successes for a number of reasons . The 5975 is an interesting watch with a dial that people either love or hate. I am in the former. The pusher story related thee movement as the pushe...
Thank you so much, Julian.
What I personally love in this reference is the case design. Concerning the dial, I have mixed feelings because I find it a little busy. But I would love to see a YG or RG variant someday: colored gold feels more appropriate to me for such a watch. I agre...
Hi Emmanuel, Highly complicated chrono functions for this series !
We are now near the half way point to the next BIG anniversary ! I can start dreaming 😴 now for the next (almost) 13 years ! 🤣
The wait will be a little long until 2039, but,
like you, I wonder what the brand will come up with.😊 Best, Emmanuel
These watches look awesome on the wrists...
Like you, I love the stepped lugs. I had the WG: And YG as well - my first and only one in non-white metal. I feel it matches the vintage vibe perfectly. Both gone now. ...
Gone, but not forgotten!
Thanks for sharing. Both look wonderful, but, as you say, the YG has a stronger vintage vibe. Best, Emmanuel
