Patek Philippe

A little visit at the local AD and looking at some Patek pieces leaves me wondering: Although these watches are absolutely adorable from a horological standpoint, how many people buy these watches actually to wear them? We are in the year 2020 and althoug...  

.

the 1st one on the table (5320) and depending on the period it is clearly a daily wearer (basically when going to the office). This is not my only watch, and like my other watches i have not bought them for financial reasons, i have bought them because i ...  

No message body

I think my grandfather was a man of impeccable taste...

I would love to wear any of these as a daily. The classic beauty of Breguet numbers will never go out of style and I also quite like the lumed numbers of the 5320.

To each his own they say.

...  

Wearability might be subject to different angles. From styling point of view, any of these watches maybe called “grandfather style” by one person and “goes with jeans” for another person. Which is a basic principle that applies to almost any luxury item. ... 

Great to see and almost relieving that these watches really see the skin of wrists in real life. So Patek seems to deeply know and understand why they produce this special kind of “Patek style” watches. I guess it all comes down to personal design prefere... 

Watches give you terrible ROI, especially compared to stocks and real estate. Too many factors goes into what can be valuable 5-10-20 years down the line + uneven supply.

that the classic Patek look will always have a huge fan base. The watches on display may be classified by Patek as Grand Complications but they are not overly large or thick that they cannot be worn on a daily basis. Now, if it was the Grandmaster Chime, ... 

They look classic, but often times too classic for me. In some cases, I feel like they'd need to be accompanied by a top hat, monocle and cane. The Patek perpetuals are gorgeous, but I don't want to wear them. Those with Breguet numerals would be better w... 

And as other friends above have said, I think these are precisely the Pateks that will never become the "safe queens" in a collection, given their poor resale value. They are just there to be fully enjoyed by the enthusiasts (and there are many!) who love... 

I only own the 5320. It’s been my daily watch since I bought it from a Patek Philippe AD more than 15 months ago. In my opinion, the 5320 is a perfect every day watch for someone who enjoys that particular ( vintage inspired) feeling from Patek. It’s a gr... 

certain charm ! One should buy the watch(es) he/she like and wear.

I wore my #5020 exclusively for two years plus. It went everywhere with me, to work, on vacation, motorcycle touring, et al.

venture to say, put a colorful strap on any of the other 5 watches and the effect will be similar. A strap can make all the difference - conservative to youthful or visa versa. Interesting subject. Thanks for posting. Best, Patekova

Job pretty well with a mild inconvenience once a year and there is no ways you can justify the significant premium for the you realize that this is when watches are tryout mechanical master pieces and you buy it for that reason...and before you know it y... 

didn’t buy 39 mm dress watches. All of these models reflect the oversize trend, which Patek also follows for their classical designs and complications unfortunately on the sacrifice of offering traditionel sized alternatives in the product line for men (l... 

and I am among the "young" audience considering the average PP consumer's age. Patek is idealisticaly betting on men dressing up and keeping standards a little higher than the average iWatch guy.

I have the 5496P-001, the dates are not raised and no bi-color dual/markers. This is one of my daily watches, along with a 5960/1A that I have changed to a strap. ...  

and none had ever been worn.
