Patek Philippe

I love the grey-blue dial of my PP 5712. Photos cannot do it justice. When indoors or under the shade, it is mostly a greyish color. In the sun at certain angles, it turns blue ! In fact it turns into different types of blue, from greyish blue to a greeni...  

copy of my 3712. LOL! I just found a new 5711. It wasn't an easy task... MPA of Singapore were kind enough to invite me to the Maritime Week of Singapore starting on 2nd half of April. So I will stay there again for a week or so. What do you think; could ... 

Kari, Robin, If there's going to be a 5711 vs 5712 showdown, can I buy the drinks? Please? You see, there's a little war going on in the Esharp house at the moment. Half of me wants a 5711, half of me is leaning towards a 5712, half of me says 'both!', an... 

Before the meeting I will wear for 60 days my 3712 and 5711. every second day the other, and then the other. After wearing both for 30 days, I should at least have an opinion. However, at the moment my thoughts are: 1. The Original Genta's sport watch is ... 

You are, of course, absolutely right! In fact, the watches you named are exactly the ones I've been considering: 1. AP 5402. Nicolas' faultless example gave me a few sleepless nights. Pure class - what a beauty! 2. AP 15202. Beautifully updated, still car... 

the proportions are not right anymore. Why to go always for bigger? The 39 mm watch is not small on my 8 inch wrist. To be honest, I am not very impressed about Patek's 324 movement. I have it in Aquanaut. Yes, I will wear my 15202 before getting the new ... 

The size is not the problem of the 15400, but the proportions. 15300 was much better ... ... and offered great value for the money. ...  

Why to grow? I.e. Rolex has managed quite well for a long time with 40 mm professional watches. Furthermore, I think that the RO design is such an iconic one that the size should be kept unaltered. Finally, the design of the lugs are such that the person ... 

but for some it is all about the numbers (only) - even when it looks "stupid" on their wrist. I am fine with different sizes and I think they tried to increase the differences between 15202 and 15400 and also tried to speak to new target groups, but still... 

that there is only one choice, in the long run. You have to start with one and you will end with at least two ... :-) Taking decisions is part of the fun and we grow on it, even when it is far from being easy. Good luck with your decision and enjoy the pr... 

You, sir, are JUST as evil as Kari! Well, I suppose I'm setting myself up for it, aren't I? Ah well...best to recognize now that I'm doomed, and not try to fight it, eh? Best E.

it´s not me. I am just reading carefully your own words and add some (personal) experience :-) Have a nice Sunday! Oliver

I'm sure you're right! All the best E.

In case we cannot have both of you and kari here at the same time, one of my mates also has a 5711 and I can request he brings along so we can compare the dial side by side ;) Looking forward to seeing you again E! Let me know next time you drop by! Cheer... 

Robin, I like the way you think! Can't wait to meet your friend and have a 5711/5712 showdown... I'll be back in Singapore in a few weeks...the 8th/9th/10th...will you be around? Best E.

That will be a nice gtg! Looking forward already. :) Apr is always a special month to me :) Hope the weather is ok for you my friend. Take care and see you soon. Cheers Robin

see it in the metal the next time we meet!! Please!! Really want to see the different hues under different lights. Cheers, Gordon

:) Cheers Robin

We know that most of the watches look much more appealing in the metal of course but when I share pictures of my Nautilus I really find, from all the watches I could have in my hands, that this blue dial is one of the most interesting. That is also an ele...  

Thanks for sharing your photo and experience with the blue dial :) Glad you are enjoying yours too :) Cheers Robin

glad to see you wearing it more often.. . hope it is keeping good time..! Cheers !

Wearing it more often does help :) Also bonds me more with the watch :) Cheers Robin

I like them a lot. Robin, thanks for sharing them with us! Oliver

Glad you like it too Cheers Robin

Different light + different angle = totally different color, almost as if it would be another dial! What do you think? Best, Mike ...  

I love your pics thanks for sharing! The dial is a "naughty" one indeed. Likes to show us a different feeling with slightly different lighting :) Cheers Robin

...  

Love your pic. Hope to meet you again next time in HK :) Cheers Robin

This is my favorite shot of my nautilus. I just love Bermuda. Joe ...  

Love it! Thanks for sharing :) This has become a nautilus roll call lol! A very nice one with lots of nice pics Cheers Robin

during the winter time. So no sunrises and sunsets. However, for a while around noon, there is still some daylight because the sun is just a little bit below horizon. Even in these cold (around minus 30 degrees ) conditions the dial is interesting and cha...  

Best, Kari ...  

Definitely a fantastic dial! Thanks for all your nice pics Cheers Robin

...  

Very nice pics , your nautilus is really stunning. Cheers Geross

...  

Beautiful blue dial! Thanks for sharing your pics Cheers Robin

john

reference number and is the case made of 2 or 3 pieces ? Cheers, Gordon

like other 5711, the 5711P is made in 3 parts: the sapphire back, the case and the bezel Cheers John

and therefore I like it even more :-) 5711A, 5711P, 3712A, 5712A, 5980A ... we have seen yet and maybe there will be even more if more PuristS join. All those blue/grey dials from the Nautilus collection are a great source of inspiration for me. At the mo...  

because I don't know anything concerning cycle, but try to have a piece of leather with the calatrava cross engraved for the bike saddle John

and maybe I should give it a try. My current saddle looks like this ... ... and yes it is all about the details :-) Best, Oliver ps: The challenge is not to get lost in details ... ;-) ...  

detail to go for ... This one was recommended by my son :-) Cheers, Oliver ...  

I think that's the most magical design/color one can even conceive. I think that's also the most difficult to achieve as it's way easier to appear sophisticated by being complicated rather than being simple :) Great that the Nautilus dial becomes a creati... 

......i think Patek do "blue dials" better than any other manufacturer. I'd love to see a contrary view to this....i'd love soeone to say, "Hey, look at this range of blue dials made by XXXX, that is much better". Because if someone could do that, they wo... 

The nautilus blue dials are hard to beat ! Cheers Robin
