Ready for Basel 2013?
Only a few more days and we will (finally) see the novelties from Patek Philippe 2013.
As a warm-up I checked on my computer which kind of pictures I took in Basel, the years before.
Not all of the pictures show novelties, but who cares as long as they are beautiful. Am I right?
Basel 2010
Basel 2011
Basel 2012
For the first time I had the pleasure to go inside and to take pictures of some of the novelties.
PP released quite a few new models:
The Ref. 5940J was probably my favorite novelty in 2012 .
Gentleman, are you ready for Basel 2013?
One of the "rumors" is a Ref. 5711 with platinum case. There was at least one platinum Nautilus before (Ref. 3700P),
but this one was a rare beauty.
Once I was told by an AD that one of his clients got one in platinum, but I can´t remember which version/Ref..
If there is a new platinum version, what will it look like?
Will it come with the same blue dial as the regular version in steel? Will it come with a grey dial? ...?
How will it feel on the wrist? Very heavy? Very solid?
Will it be limited?
Lot´s of questiones and no answers, but as I mentioned above - only a few more days

I won't be there...
but am excited to read your future posts. I wonder if the Nautilus line is not my fav. among the actual Patek collection. Certainly. Get a nice rest before the game starts! Cheers, Mark
Why not, the 70s design ...
of the Nautilus collection is very appealing and to me it sings loud as well. Mark, still have some time to rest before I go to Basel - next week. But before the rest (weekend) there is something like a day job ... :-( Cheers, Oliver
I wish I can be there
Beautiful pictures, especially the case of 5940, these shapes are nanometerly perfect!
Perhaps next year I may be able to go...
But for this year I will believing vicariously through your posts and watching the forum with breath held ;)
Warning ...
don´t hold your breath for too long, if you wait for my pictures/report. Just have an appointment on Tuesday ... :-)
Italian 007...

5170 G Breguet Numerals
5170 G with Breguet numerals looks amazingly great! (And, despite the gossips, no platinum 5711, but 5216 P is something to dream about).
Wow!
Could someone please enlighten an ignorant soul as to the ref/identity of the PC minute repeater with a 5970 like layout under Basel 2011?
Hmm...
Thanks Oliver! Come to think of it the layout is actually just like that of a 5140, rather than 5970, but thanks regardless for catching my drift... Is that the reason why it is an auto? Does an automatic movement work as well with a minute repeater as a ...
Let me ask you a question.
Would Patek use that kind of movement for Ref. 5078, 5074, 5013, 5033, 5104 ... if it wouldn´t work? When it comes to minute repeaters I trust in them, for sure :-)
