Patek April 2021 novelties and an un-announced limited edition Calatrava 5298P ???

By: HobbyCentric : April 15th, 2021-01:47

Went down with my wife earlier to view the new Patek novelties ... the 5711A/1300A was surprising good looking and paired well with the olive green dial. New unisex 4947/1A was also quite attractive with a very nice shade of dark blue with textured horizo...

Thanks for this post and the comments !

Yes the vertical and horizontal cross brushings, as well as the deeper shade of blue on the 4947 is really quite nice and I have not seen it in other Pateks before.

Raw silk ....more like textured oxford shirt..beautiful dial.

Yes agree it looks more like the textured Oxford effect than a Shantung silk texture, either way the overall effect is attractive and different from most dials

The Shantung effect is currently on the Ladies' 7300/1200R-010 and 7300/1201R-001.

Hi ghost, A warm welcome to the forum and thank you for the clarification !

Wow that was fast !

Ah yes thank you ! ... "dark and mysterious" is the more appropriate way to describe the hue of the green or the blue dials of the 5711A (as opposed to my previous reply to Gordon using the description dirty/muddy)

..

I guess as usual you need to register your interest with the salon or your AD and wait to see what happens

Thanks for sharing this -- I'm really happy the new models are already available, at least for viewing. The new 6119R is pretty stunning, and the more I see the /1300A, the more I love it....;-) Looking forward to seeing them *very* soon! ;-)

Thank you for replying. I am not sure if it is just meant for the South-East Asian alone or global market. As I understand from Patek, there will be about 20 pieces made available.

Thank you -- I'm by no means supposed to know all regular references (!), but if I have to guess chances are this 5298 LE is only available locally and for some particular celebration, as it's not part of the official 2021 roster (including LEs).

No pressure at all ! We are already all very grateful for your moderating this forum so efficiently and graciously

My sincere pleasure🙏👍🥂

Do u happen to have the backside of the steel one? Thanks for the live updates

A press picture not a live pic, but here it is👍

Sorry missed out on the backside photo!

Thanks for the report. No photos of the 6119G and 6119R ?

My mistake, I mend the 6119G

Ah yes missed the G version out from the photos. Here they are

Superb front and back, thank-you for the live pics! ;-)

Thank you very much, this is the one I wanted to see most. If I love it as much in person it will be my first Patek if I can get one.

Yes, while both the G & R versions are attractive, the G is more modern, especially with its dial. Hope you love it in the metal too and looking forwards to some nice wrist shots of it on you

Thanks again, I checked the internet a couple of days looking for Live Photos of the watch. Something told me to check your post one

Many thanks for the post

I am afraid I did not enquire further on the 5298P as I was rather more distracted with the other pieces

We haven’t seen any enamels, marquetry for some time now

Maybe and hopefully later this year more references will be released. Patek usually likes to keep a few surprises peppered throughout the year ( to sustain interest and suspense??? )

I was told there will be releases later this year starting from June

Thanks for the heads up. Looking forwards very much to this !

Yep, I asked Patek last week and they do not have a date for the Rare Handcraft releases yet. But I would definitely expect something this year ;-)

Can't wait to see the handcrafts. I hope I can obtain another before I die....

Let's hope you'll get one much earlier than that! ;-)) I'll keep the forum posted as I know more; so far nothing has been decided, despite the rumors I heard online or even from ADs.

Thank you Fab

Pleasure👍🥂
