Patek Philippe

Good morning from GMT -5, I have been a long time lurker at this wonderful website. I have enjoyed reading all the posts and looking at all the amazing photos. My story is not unique I am sure. I have been a watch lover all my life. I think I get the trai...  

We are happy to convert a lurker in a member. And even more when he comes with a Patek 5110! Thanks for sharing your emotion and your moving story about that reference. Respect! Running after a watch for so many years, being able to put your hands on it, ... 

I am very excited to have many years with this watch. There is nothing better than being able to enjoy a piece of art on your wrist every day.

Dedication and work is (usually) rewarded in the end. I totally understand what you're talking about. I remember the time when you want something so much that you keep reading books, magazines, catalogue about it and dreaming you may get it some day. I'm ... 

Great story and congrats.

watch and wonderful background. Wear it in good health and please post pictures from time to time. It is a very special watch. All the very best, Alex

It proves that passion is still strong for mechanical wonders. And.... Patek what more of a marvel could one wish to have. Big huge congratulations and wear your Patek in great health. Bill

for the kind words. Truly appreciated.

Continue to wear it in the Best of your health, and please come back with photos of your new love at different occasions ! Cheers & Best, hs

I like your photos. And now on to the 5130! Bill

I remember picking up that issue of Watch Time from my local Patek AD. The 5110 is a special piece...nice, modern size, but still elegant. Enjoy it! Cheers, John

your long term commitment to 5110, which is iconic ! Enjoy and start planning for the next hunt. What will the future bring? Cheers Gordon

Great story and very nice watch. After 15 years of patience it must feel very rewarding and good finally strapping it on the wrist! You won\'t forget that moment. Ever.

And i feel you choose well. Welcome. Cheers Geross

Dear Constantine, first of all, I'd like to welcome you in this wonderful forum. Congratulations for your new watch, the 5110 is an absolute landmark. Thank you for having shared with us your touching story: I had the impression I could see the passing of... 

Thank you for the kind words. I have always enjoyed wearing watches. I love the portability and functionality of these small mechanical works of art. I get great pleasure every time I look at my watch throughout the day. Think about how many times you loo...

Thanks for the new picture! Cheers, Mark

but I must say this one is clearly in the top 3... Next to another one and which by the way you like too Let's wait to see what Baselworld reserves... Cheers, mark

In fact the P with anthracite dial. A watch I came slowly to appreciate very much but when I tried it not long ago, the experience was fantastic. Sporty (due to thickness, pushers and chrono monocounter) and quite elegant in the mean time (with very fine ... 

This and my 5712/1A equally most versatile timepieces I have come across. The anthracite dial is superb, always works. Pump pushers and mono counter chronograph annual calendar with an in house automatic movement all reasons why this is a phenomenal daily...  

The grey dial was maybe my last choice from the pictures but the marvel it is in the metal (experienced 2 weeks ago) pushed it in first place. I also thought about the black dial but, even if black is really a nice looking color for a dial, it is more dif... 

In a perfect world my pockets would be deeper I would wear one 5960 each weekday: 1. 5960P-001, the anthracite dial version to kick the week off 2. 5960R-001, the gray dial version to color up dreary Tuesdays 3. 5960G, the blue limited Moscow edition mid ... 

White gold Moscow Not to be confused with the platinum blue version ...  

I imagine it is the kind of blue difference you have to see by yourself in the metal to judge. You're indeed right to put forward the R version. I know that the black dial R-gold is stunning too (as is the 5205R in the same oufit). Cheers, Mark

Many of the discussions and analyses on this site helped me make a very good decision. Your collective knowledge is staggering. I am here to learn. I hope you all have a nice weekend. Constantine

Thanks for sharing and for wonderful photos
