.....when i try it on, I find a new experience. It is its presence on the wrist and its aesthetic that is so special. It "looks" unlike any watch I know on the wrist.
I finally had the opportunity to see it in the flesh. To say it straight, I was less disappointed than on the first pictures I saw. It is a Watch to be seen in the real, as suspected, if you want to judge it. The case, which makes you think of the Omega S...
I feel easier now. I decided not to stalk the watch because of readability. At the same time a small devil inside was asking me if I should have jumped for this as it was an Anniversary Piece. I am stalking some other, more exciting things now and it look...
That last shot is an excellent overview and first comparison shot I'm aware of Funny 5575 on your shots is during new moon Coincidence or necessity? :) Best Damjan
This is a model that i have always loved. In this version, what i most like is the case and the shape of the lugs, in addition to the "starry night". I would ask for three dots of lume on the inner bezels (at Geneva, on the Sun and on the Moon) and on the...
on the 175th anniversary pieces, I told him I do not have anything that strikes me most that I must have. Thank you for the clear summary, Nico. Rgds Raymond
Nice writing and beautiful pictures...as usual:) My pick is the 5110P by far the more balanced in my opinion and I don't really like the kind of enamel "a la" 5131. Cheers Francois
But I would not trade my 511°P for it... As for the 5575, well, less disappointing in the real, I must confess, but not at the point to consider getting one. I am a happy guy with my 5110P. ;) Best, Nicolas
5110p is of course discontinued 5575g is sold out And now, it's quite official, 5131 is discontinued So on the last pic, we have a trio of vintage Patek
others' and mine on the 5575. These differences are what PuristS should provide in order for each other to gain a better understanding of various angles in considering this piece. For me, the curves on the sides of the case is what makes it more "sexy" / ...
If we all agreed on a Watch ,it would be boresome and not very constructive. The 5575 has soem good and bad points and the global feeling will differ from one to another. It is a bit subjective. And as an extrem fan of the Patek World Time, I have a level...

as i like the overall look on my wrist and artezan craftmanship of this beauty. But, as i mentioned, this fault with the Moscow time zone was main reason not for go. I am buying watch not for collection in the safe but to wear it and travel with it if its...
The fact that all the anniversary world timers have dials which are blatantly inaccurate, The more I question the reasoning behind their release in this form. This complication focuses specifically on world time zones, and frankly i am quite surprised tha...
For Patek, the rings for the cities were made before Moscow revised back to its previous time zone and were produced in "time" for the 175th. If Patek were to re-make the rings, the roll out the 5575 would be off with the rest. Hence, a commercial call on...
Firstly, congratulations on your Anniversary WT! May you always wear it In good health. Thank you for your reply and insights, which I agree with in some parts. The timezone switch first occurred in November 2009 in Russia. It was an experiment that laste...
"the opportunity to install a correct dial should be made available free of charge to owners should they wish" An offer like this by Patek would bring a lot of goodwill to the 5575 owners and Patek collectors generally. Cheers, Gordon
5575 is a commemorative 175 anniversary piece produced in 2014. I think therefore as such, it should have Moscow time zone where it was in 2014. It makes it even more interesting and unique reflecting extra piece of history in 2014. Thus, Patek did the ri...
One must see in person to tuely appreciate it's beauty. The dial is spectacular and watch has an uber cool feel to it. I am over the moon over it and glad I was fortunate to get one as here in States they are very hard to come by and demand sky high. Chee...
when I first saw some of the pics, I thought, eh... it's a little "stealthy" for me making it hard to read. But your "real world" pics, well that changes my mind. That wrist shot brings out the beauty of this anniversary edition. I'll have to see it for m...
......when i say i understand "completely" what you mean, I really do mean "completely" LoL I find this a very alluring and attractive watch. Its aesthetic is intoxicating.
If you forget the horological logic of case size, movement size and limited editions........ Is the 5575G the most aesthetically gorgeous watch on the wrist between the 5110G, 5131G, 5130G and 5575G? Which one looks like the "killer on the wrist?" I am ta...
if I want to sell it Very funny the comparison between girlfriend and wife, but... It's my wife who convinced me to take it at the Patek event so... And as usual, she was right because it's really a very elegant and "personal" watch and fortunately, I don...
