Correction - Three in a row...

Just collected the 5270G-019 today. This is the new version, i.e. without the 'chin' (5270G-014). As I said to a fellow purist "Who knows? In 20 years' time, the 'chin' may fetch an astronomical price because of its relative rarity As for now, I am a very...  

Astonishing. You have my admiration.

Thanks. Just happen to like this year's offerings including the 175 anniversary pieces.... Sam

Congratulations Sam!

Great move with that blue dial which give Patek watches is given with a very pleasant and original look. For the chin, I would say that I like both, especially as when I tried it "with" is wasn't as visible as on our zoomed in pictures. As you say, it cou... 

Really looking forward to reading your article Mark!

you bought 3 amazing watches !

Sam, you are my Hero!

If somebody will ever say that I'm nuts with my purchases, I can just say "look at Sam". Congrats. Very nice watches. Kari

Yes Kari....I have probably lost my mind this year

 
 By: samwan : September 26th, 2015-21:02
And my safe is running out of space, so I am forced to rationalize Best Sam

I have similar symptoms...

 
 By: dr.kol : September 27th, 2015-10:16
At the moment 8 brand new Pateks + 2 x AP plus lesser watches. Still two PP coming this year and the other is a very big investment. The uncles with white coats should probably pick me up and put for a long rest. Best, Kari

I'll think about that...

Something very rare, never seen here - one or two pieces. And something unique, never seen anywhere. Patek accepted my application and I am waiting for the drawings. Let's see, but I am convinced about my idea. Ding, dong. Or like the Thai people say: Tin... 

I am excited for you!

 
 By: samwan : September 28th, 2015-07:32
Hope to see some pictures soon... Cheers Sam

How about a family photo of your latest acquisitions, Kari....

A feast for our eyes, that will be very inspiring and I will show it to my significant other I'm not crazy all this time ) Rgds Raymond

Oh, the last is just

 
 By: dr.kol : September 28th, 2015-03:45
a 5575. The next I will pay today or tomorrow and pick up when I have time. It's in the class or costs of 2 x PP perpetual. Best, Kari

Oh Kari, any PP can be a dream, or a treasure to someone...

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : September 28th, 2015-07:37
"just" is too humble. You are very lucky, hope to see those "just" family collections soon. Rgds Raymond

Great watch ! Congratulations

I don't mind my chin and as you say wonder if in the future it will be a sought after feature from that crazy year they had ' the chin '

People were not receptive when the 5070 was first launched

 
 By: samwan : September 26th, 2015-21:04
The same for 5004 and 5951, though to a lesser extent. So who knows? Best Sam

congratulations...

... this is a stunning one. Wear it in good health

Thx Jaime

I got this one from another dealer. I have a date with Jacques to meet him at Basel so there is a chance I may see you next year! All the best Sam

Congratulations on another magnificent buy!

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 27th, 2015-11:12
You, and Dr. Kol, are killing it with Pateks. Can you find me a position with your lucrative company? lol

For sure this hobby is addictive

 
 By: samwan : September 27th, 2015-17:47
And the watch community is not helping

Congratulations Sam

You have certainly had an amazing horological week. Superb trio of Patek Phillipe timepieces.

I will lie low for a while....

Just ordered a grail and have to wait 18 months Best Sam

Big congrat Sam!

Thanks Robin

Here is the real super moon Best Sam ...  

I am thinking of a standing order for congratulations to you as I can not keep up :-)

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : September 28th, 2015-11:53
You have picked the filet parts of Patek and I am sure there will be more coming like your 5370 P. Read a review of Patek's in-house chrono movement again today an was amazed about the , at times very simple, technical solutions this new calibre is offeri... 

I totally agree

It is not only complications to get more complicated but changes to bring improvement in a sometimes a very simple way.

LOL

 
 By: samwan : September 28th, 2015-21:27
I guess one can only 'trade up' from this point. Maybe a repeater after the split seconds? Best Sam

Aha!

 
 By: dr.kol : September 28th, 2015-21:32
I think I know somebody thinking along the same lines... Best, Kari

Holy Cow!

I fully agree

Sam I have a question

 
 By: Mark in Paris : September 29th, 2015-14:21
Is it possible for you to determine how much it weighs please? If you can, it can be a useful info for me, thanks Cheers, Mark

Please bear with me for a day or two

 
 By: samwan : September 30th, 2015-04:26
I will see what I can do...at this juncture, my crude answer is that it feels just right on my wrist (and I like heavy watches) Cheers Sam

I cannot find a weight at home to give you the exact weight

 
 By: samwan : September 30th, 2015-20:21
But it weighs approximately the same as a 5712G, perhaps even a bit lighter Cheers Sam

Thank you Sam :)

 
 By: Mark in Paris : October 1st, 2015-02:43
I wondered how it weighed as I'm not a heavy watch fan but I imagine it is not far from the 5970's weight. Cheers, Mark

Congratulations

Fantastic acquisition!

Thanks.

Have yet to find an occasion to wear it

I think I am going to wear it today

It's my son-in-law's birthday party
