Watch out, the new Ref. 5271P ...
should be available since today and maybe you can see one at your AD, some time soon.
Such a special piece is not for everybody, but when I saw it in the metal I was more tempted than I expected it to be. I almost forgot the diamonds with all those gorgeous details shown. In a perfect world I could imagine one on my wrist, for special occassions.
Thanks for looking!
Oliver

Hi Oliver, this 5971P is a surprising piece to me given...
the large amount of diamonds and bling that goes with the high complications. Like you said, one must see it in the metal to truly know how it feels. Previously I did not think that you liked bling bling but then again photos do not always tell the full s...
Gordon, there is bling and there is bling ...
and when it comes to Patek they are (sometimes, to be very honest) able to deliver some gorgeous pieces even with bling. A gentleman and senior Patek collector told me once that he is really keen on the Ref. 5074. He would take it in each metal. Even the ...
Thanks Oliver for the explanation and I would love to...
...see in the metal a Bling Bling Patek with high complications to understand how it still can be understated!! You are right to say Never "Say" Never Cheers Gordon
Spare me normal Pateks. Give me the one on the rocks!
I am a very strong advocate for diamonds on a time peace, especially on a Patek. That lovely 5298 p would be also my choice and this one that you are showing: a stunner! Best Moritz
Now if they can do the new 5270p when it is released some day ...
With this dial it is Patek perfection again! :))
I agree..
Dial is spot on. Diamonds aren't tooooooo bad. I am liking it more and more.
Looks fabulous on your wrist, Oliver (;-)), but tell me...
how would you compare the case work between this (diamonds aside) and a Datograph, for example? I expect a high level of perfect but with some subtle differences... Cheers, Magnus
I see different approaches ...
which come closer these days. When Blümlein defined the DNA of ALS (back in the 90s) he did a great job and part of his (first) approach was the "extra weight" of the cases, the buckles and the folding clasps. They feel quite often superior, because of th...
Like the Mercedes dash switches of the 70 - 90s?
they way the clicked (both in tactile feeling and sound) was unique and contributed tremendously to the impression of quality. Regrettably - this seemed to have changed. Interesting to note that Patek is actively pursuing the holistics of case constructio...
