For your Lady's eyes only, agent 7071 and its new calibre CH 29-535 PS!
By: Dje : November 10th, 2009-15:06
When the Patek Philippe 5959 was launched in 2005 it was a real and full surprise to discover this absolutely purist watch and its split seconds chronograph calibre that is still (and may for ever remain?) the thinnest of its kind. The watch is a dream pi...
Excellent Report, Jerome

Thank you so much for this in-depth report on the new movement. I read it in its entirety, was captivated, but now have a migrain headache. TMI for my simple brain LOL LOL. Excellent photos of some classic vintage Pateks. Thanks again. Cheers
wow

what a report ! Now I'm gonna read it a second time ... an probably a third time too Thanks !
Thank You.

What a wonderful report on the new calibre, 7071 and vintage chronographs. I look forward to a more pedestrian casing. Mike S.
Thank you, Jerome.

Another enjoyable dissertation. Although I truly enjoy seeing all the chronograph incarnations that you have spent such thoughtful time compiling, like you, I favor the 1463 SS with Breguet numerals. If you find two would you please save one for me? With ...
Great report …

Thanks Jerome, This is a brilliant coverage. It is great to see so many practical innovations come together in this calibre. The CH 29-535 PS is interesting in this guise, but will make an even better men’s chronograph with more balanced positioning of th...
Thanks Andrew

Hi, Impressive place indeed, the CH 29-535 could even seem "normal" in such a place! Cheers Dje
Thanks Jerome - great report!
By: fernando : November 10th, 2009-21:41
This new movement is another milestone for Patek and from what I've read & seen so far it looks to be a winner on all counts.Can't wait to see the men's version. fernando
Thanks

Hi, No pic of the clasp, but I heard that the price should (could) be around 52 000 euros! It's not definitive yet! Cheers Dje
Wow your pics bring out the true beauty of this watch
By: Oztimelord : November 11th, 2009-01:14
Thanks Jerome, When my wife and I saw the press pics, we weren't too impressed with the look of the watch. The movement is incredible. Your more natural pics confirm an inner shine to this piece that will make it a huge success. Kind Regards Rene
No :-)

Hi, But I can say it will be supposedly a simple two counter chrono for the simple version, there will be no annual calendar version, you'll see perpetual calendar one, and who knows, maybe a split second too! Cheers Dje
Wonderful coverage Jerome!

The Ladies First Chronograph looks quite nice. Do you happen to have a wrist-shot on a lady's wrist? It should please some ladies who always say - 'a lady piece is just a man's model decorated with blings' as it houses a new movement now. Kong
Sorry no wrist shot on my part!

Hi, I'm sure there will be as many pleased women as watches they will produce! Cheers Dje
May I share with you a few pics ?
By: foversta : November 11th, 2009-11:27
I will not add any comment, the article from Jerôme is perfect and very comprehensive. I just want to underline the fact that in Paris we were very proud to have the opportunity to get this presentation during the two events. It symbolizes for us a come-b...
Great pics. FX

Love these old Patek chronos! No date;that's how I like them.
Thank you from one of the ladies
By: Ginger : November 11th, 2009-12:20
I am thrilled. The fact that such a fine timepiece is offered in a mid sized or ladies' version is encouraging. The moveable lugs are a feature that I would love to see implemented on other watches for my own sake, and I think some of our smaller wristed ...
Thank you for your comments Ginger
By: Dje : November 15th, 2009-11:39
Hi, Thank you for your comments ginger. They are the first comments I read from a lady, so they are very much valuable! I'd love to read more comments from your side of the world on this forum! Keep posting. Cheers Dje
Duke's watch is incredibly gorgeous!
By: Ophiuchus : November 11th, 2009-13:20
What a find you have there. That is probably the most beautiful Patek I've ever seen. The proportions and dial, with the hands balanced, beautiful. Stunning. Great find!
Thank you Jerome - Bravo Patek
By: Nomer : November 11th, 2009-14:06
I have to admit that I did not appreciate the engineering achieved by Patek in this new caliber - great result. Thanks again for such an indepth report that is so accessible.
Thank you, Dje and FX . . .
By: Dr No : November 12th, 2009-09:19
. . . brilliant reporting of a milestone caliber. I'll be revisiting this thread a few more times before the knowledge contained is fully imparted . . . cordially, Art
Thanks for the report... and I'm saved...
By: Duke2Earl : November 12th, 2009-13:03
That was very informative. I think it's a real step forward for Patek. Thankfully (for my bank account) my Lady thinks it's too big and thick and she doesn't like daily winding, so I'm saved. Glenn .
Thank you Jerome..................

For such an outstanding article, with such a great indepth report and some beautiful photos. Not only of the new chronograph but also of the many vintage pieces. FX your photos were also a pleasure to look at.........Thank you. By the way which Patek is T...
A wonderful report, as ever!

Thank you Jerome! Their new release is certainly growing on me, with a rather appealing photo of the elusive 5959.

Makes me want a 5170 more than ever now.
By: doublesix : April 16th, 2010-08:08
After reading this post on the ch29-535, it makes me want the 5170 even more now. I cam away with the idea that it is far superior to the Lemania based movement in the 5070. Thanks for such a detailed technical report DJE!
So do I!
