Patek Philippe

with a very enduring look. I simply love its dial and its sweeping hand. It's almost like a 5016 without the sound. This is one of those watch that I actually love it in a traditional YG color, it gives out a very nice vintage vibe I think one day it will...

5170J is very close to ideal for me except for the big 'patek' and its very hard edge case. The dial also seems big for what it is, it wears bigger than the size indicated. My problem with it is it looks like a 'replica' of old model, unlike the Grand Sei... 

Very nice, and i think they did a much better job than the 5496. Especially in the moonphase, the area around "6". Wear it in good health.

thinking it will be so romantic to have this watch accompany me for a very very long time. Btw, I'm exhibiting at Paris Photo, do go check it out if you have the moment :-) *CL

ParisPhoto at Grand Palais, you can google it. It's a big event in Paris every year around this time :-).I will not be there as I'm right now preparing for my first museum you can see my work for real for the first time :-)Lovesss*CL

I wil try to find the time to have an eye on that, with great pleasure, my friend! Best, and if you ever come to Paris, please let me know! Nicolas.

when I visit Paris :-) :-) . This forum creates wonderful friendship all over the world. I met KIH in Tokyo last year and was so wonderful. Lovesss*CL

The overlap of the leap year indicator and the date is what kills the 5059 and 5159 for me. The 5496 dial is so squished and unbalanced to the extreme. The 5050 is perfect.

Proportions are simply perfect, design is elegant and refined, dial is clearly legible and not "crowded" at all. A discrete beauty for people of extremely good taste. I wish I can see it in flesh but it is so rare. Lucky you are, wear it in good health! B... 

No I think it's Utterly GORGEOUS :) Superb perpetual :) And totally jealous here ;) Best Imran

DRoooooooooooooooL...... I love perpetual calendar with sweeping second hand. Patek 2497 ...  

but this one gets my vote: ... in that range :-) ...  

I am never a fan of having 2 different font of numerals in a dial. Also, the printed numerals make the dial less exquisite and the white metal , though more rare, exudes less charm on such watch. White metal (or even rose gold) generally gives a more mode...

and I would love to see more detailed pictures if possible :-) Size is perfect for you! Oliver

I don't have much pictures of this watch, I just took them in a very effortless manner :-) *CL

Hi, Cant agree more,its the arrangement of the dial with a retro date center which make this watch an absolute BHK9

Piece and classic Patek!! Love it....Cheers,

Not to spoil or distract from the sheer bauty of this piece or in general of all other, equally beautiful, retrograde pp calendars: I slowly grasp that these are the kind of pieces where a concern about robustness may be at the right place. There is unfor... 

I was wondering what Model Patek the original picture is? FOr us newer guys its hard to tell sometimes with all of the subtle differences.....Thanks a lot...
