Patek Philippe

The 176 th year is a good year for Patek Philippe, because the new pieces shown are very well balanced and fit perfectly in the already impressive collection. There are three major novelties, several (about 30, if we don´t count the pieces from the Rare H...

Thank you Beautiful report Oliver Well Said Regards (Second's in time)

It looks very warm indeed and I already started to consider RG bracelet watches with the Royal Oak 15202, so I'm quite open to this one. The only "no go" for me is the dial's color which seems beautiful and very well matching the RG but which doesn't brin... 

is nice as well. Only tried it once on my wrist and except of the dial with a flaw, it was very nice. I like both, but for (slightly) different reasons. It is always nice to have options and a version in steel is a good start ... :-) Thanks for your reply... 

I'm a bit tired of this kind of combo I must confess. Not for me! Thanks for the pics & comments! Fx

on watch shows and at ADs (which is perfect for us, because we see lots of pictures :-) ). I won´t get tired of sceneries like this ... A glass of rose at sunset ... and those pictures are not even taken in Italy. For that kind of moments, I could easily ...  

Exception. I do see the point of your title, though. Just not for me. The Nautilus in steel is still the one, for me. And with time passing, I start to much prefer the 5980 among all of the Nautilus references. Best, Nicolas

and I am not surprised to read your thoughts on it ;-) Oliver

a bold step in extending the range of an icon, from understatement to "louder-statement" !! Good for the brand to try on different versions, from mixed steel & gold bracelet with blue dial to this RG bracelet with brown dial. Now after your post, I really... 

Well, there already have been "bold" versions like this at the Ref. 3700 - the icon itself. Today we have soo many different lifestyles and customers from different markets and therefore I think it is nice to have some more choices - like in the past. Tha... 

I share the same view on this like Mark in Paris. The dial is warm and suits the RG. But I would prefer a dial like 5980/ST-RG. This would be more courageous and mediteranian. Just my two cents. Thx for your report and thoughts. Best regards

to please everyone at the same time ;-) Thanks! Oliver

A pure steel Nautilus is what we know for the gentleman and this year they got something fancier in RG. For the demanding lady there is (finally) something in steel, with an automatic movement and without any stone setting. As already known the “new” iter...  

NOT showing this to my wife!! LOL!!

my wife. If she likes that, Xmas present 2015 is solved. Thanks for the presentation Oliver. Best, Kari

:-) Cheers, Oliver

as brands understand they are interested about watches too and that they won't be satisfied with Quartz only models. Good and necessary move from Patek. Cheers, Mark

I doubt anybody expected to see such a watch from Patek Philippe. From time to time there are PP exhibitions in different places and therefore pieces from their museum are shown as well. One of the (let´s call it like this, in the world of PP) curiosities...  

Thanks for the photos Oliver!

friend D :-) Sorry, there was no chance to get more pictures at BaselWorld. Still I promised you something and I hope it keeps you motivated to get one - one day ;-) Oliver ...  

Now I only need WS of it...hopefully mine wrist That is great pair...blue & white dial would make great weekly choice Appreciate your thoughtfulness Yours

versus the "white" dial. More about the latest one: ...

I much prefer the white dial over the black on this reference. So much more elegant and interesting to me.

perhaps more interesting, but you have to admit the leaf hands of the black dial are more elegant than the stick hands on the white. Additionally, although the pulsation scale looks neat, it is irrelevant unless the owner is in the medical field or just l... 

First, welcome on PutistSPro to you! Concerning the Black reference versus white one I think that it is a matter of taste. Many like the leaf hand as they are quite elegant and "soft" because of the nice curves. But on the other hand the stick hands bring... 

or the most charming one of them all?! ...  

The marker's lenght at the bottom of the dial are shorter, the scale, hands have changed but I also find the godlen rings around the 2 registers at 5' and 7' are really nice in this RG watch context. It is very difficult to think differently from the beau... 

...compared to the 5970r. Although, it's only 1mm larger, it's thinner than the 5970r. I would have preferred a thicker case for a more 3-dimensional looking movement like ALS produces. I also wish the pushers were changed to the ones used on the 3970r.

I didn't notice the wider windows compared to the 5970R. I noticed that the scale in the new 5270R takes more space on the dial compared to the 1st 5270G dial and thus moves the markers a little bit toward the date windows. Concerning the case's size, I t...

...and these wrist shots! Yes, this is a very special novelty.

It looks very impressive in photos and I can only imagine how nice it will look in the metal, in person!

the CHR 29-535 PS's central bridge shape especially is a delight :)

Il really like it in Black, especially on the pictures where we don't see the sunburst finish (which is not my thing) but when it looks like lacquered :p The style of the dial (printings, registers) are really better than before (to me) but I think the su... 

The black dial version here looks very nice. I completely agree with Mark in Paris on the subdial presence. However I am positively surprised with how little it bothers me in your pictures. The size seem fine as well even though 42mm sounds too large on p... 

and we may well be surprised in the right way. Cheers, Mark

to produce in the past - a black dial like this. It may look easy to do, but it isn´t. Only a blue dial version was possible, until now. If you dream about something to dream, this could be the one :-) ...

Your work is wonderful and of course take care of your familly :) Hope it will be better soon. Best, Mark

... Thanks for the great pics and hopefully all will be fine.

PM me if I can do anything best Imran

. . . could ask for more, Oliver. Take care, my friend. Art

Thanks for all the detailed reports Julian

I wish your family all the best. I'm sure you will even grow closer together and come out stronger. All the bets, Dirk

At the occasion of the Chopard event which took place here this week, a bunch of Parisian PuristS had the opportunity to meet and needless to say that we had a warm and friendly thought for you. As others said, there is no other priority in life but famil... 

Quick update to explain why I am here so rarely at the moment. There was a funeral ... someone is in the hospital right now and I started a new job. Bad news and good news, but in both cases lots of new activities needed. Cordially, Oliver

Life is bitter sweet symphony Looking forward your inputs and insights Hope all will turn out well Yours D
