XXI century Amagnetic
On August 25, 2010, mstaga has posted a message entitled "3417 Amagnetic wonderful Bauhaus style" [ patek.watchprosite.com ].
Since that day, I felt in love with that rare stainless steel Patek Philippe. Now, even if this wonderful timepiece has to be considered perfect both in design and in technical point of view - as almost all the PP watches - I decided to propose my personal view of a "XXI century Amagnetic".
With all due respect, and hoping you share this premises, I couldn't confine my aesthetical research simply with a bigger case (however, I've chosen a 38mm. case for "my" Amagnetic). Inside this watch beats a manual wind calibre, with small seconds: the PP 215 PS.
Finally, after expressing my thanks to mstanga, let the picture speak.
Do you like it???

I'm deeply in love with this PP.
And you know what? I will not even go for a bigger one! The 3714 is a perfect watch like it is. Not for everybody's wrist, which is perfect. Best, Nicolas
Thank you for expressing your opinion, Nicolas!
Unfortunately, the image uploader seems not to work, this evening. Tomorrow I will re-try to upload my proposal. Apart from the case size, I hope you will find it at least "interestingly". Ciao!
Can't wait to see that, my friend.
You know what? I would prefer this watch not to be " demystified " by a kind of reinterpretation. But I will see your pictures with pleasure and interest. Best, Nicolas

...a mythical figure that is part of the sacred circle of "legendary" PPs, I was aware of the risks. However, I think the pleasure of inventing is always proportional to the challenge. The first difficulty was represented by the large difference in the si...

It is " eaten " by the axis of the minute and hour hands? Best, Nicolas
I told you there would be to discuss!
It's done on purpose, my friend. The reasons are two: - primarily, because a traditional-looking subdial, on a so large dial, would have seemed too far toward the center; something like this (please, it's only an incomplete draft); - then, because I wante...
Too small, indeed, but wouldn't it be possible to have something ...
In between? Best, Nicolas
As always, you're so kind it's hard to say you no!
I need a couple of hours from now to find a different solution, since I work exclusively with a vectorial graphics software, without any use of Photoshop. I hope it will be more aggreeable. See you soon!
I actually.....
Prefer this one.... A combination between modern and retro.... Just like the 5960... Cheers
During 3417 production ....
there were two versions of the same watch but different calibre movement, earlier one being 12' 400"'am, then follow by 27' 400'" am. IF you compare the two dials, the biggest difference is in fact the sub dials. With the earlier version having the larger...
Modern take on the Amagnetic
There were 2 movement versions a a few dial variations. heartbreaker - you have broken my heart!!!! I am sorry your version cant complete with the original. How can you better perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Sure, oinkitt
My version absolutely doesn't compete with the original version, because I didn't wanted to compete with it, I didn't wanted to make a copy or a re-edition. It would be much easier. I wanted to pay tribute to an inspired design, leaving me to be inspired ...
XXI century Amagnetic - 2nd version
Dear PP-lovers, even if I was well-meaning, I couldn't resist the temptation to make another avant-garde proposal... First of all, I've reduced the case size to 37 mm., with a dial width of 32 mm., strap width 20 mm. and crown height 5,5 mm. As already sa...
