Thanks Gordon for posting some of the new watches and showing more daring strap possibilities. I am a huge Patek fan. It pains me to write that I am extremely disappointed

by all the “new” offerings you show which are mostly rehashes of existing references in different metals/dial colors, none of which I find to be particularly creative or appealing. All the dials are basically the same except for a different color. Compare this to 5270 and 5396 where different dial configurations creatively enhanced the references and offered meaningful and often beautiful variations.
As far as your alternative straps as the saying goes “you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”.
The 5330G which you don’t show, offers something different by adding a date, but I find it to be far less attractive than the recently discontinued 5230P.
Hopefully, Thierry will soon introduce the totally new line he has referred to and it will be sufficiently captivating to more than make up for this underwhelming group of faux novelties.
I feel very sad to be so negative, but this my my honest opinion.
