Imran,

Thank you for the great reporting and wonderful pictures. I have a soft spot for chronograph wristwatches and this post made my heart beats a tad faster. LOL.

I am looking to add to my 5960P. Hopefully they'll make 5270 in either platinum or steel.

Cheers.

Patek Chronograph Exhibition London

 
 By: Miranda : May 19th, 2011-10:43
The venue chosen for Patek to showcase their prowess in the production of chronographs was the famous Battersea powerstation. When I first arrived, to be honest I thought OMG...can there really be an exhibtion from Patek here? The building itself is liste...  

A treat - thank you

Love the 1924 vertical register chronograph and it's nice to compare the old and new cushion models. Sounds like a great event - you were appropriately attired with a 5970p. All the best.

Thanks for the report, Imran.

And thanks, also, for the mini scoop about the steel 5004. Personally, among those you showed, I will faithfully stick to my favourites: 5970 P and 5070 P. I can imagine how you felt in front of such great pieces, Imran. Thanks for the post! Best. Nicolas

Imran, THANK YOU

Damned, I HAD TO BE THERE Chronographs are for me the most interesting and beautifull watches available. I appreciate tourbillons and repeaters but I'll pick a chrono over a tourbillon every day of the week. That must have been a great evening Thanks for ...  

Brilliant pictures, Bruno, really brilliant.

This Naughty Lus is growing on me... A Manual and An Automatic Chrono from PP... Now that would be a cool pair. Are you thinking about it? Bext, Nicolas.

the problem is

I always want more than I can afford. Most of us will have this problem LOL Now, if I could afford it WITHOUT NEEDING TO SELL quite a few other watches I love I would buy it without any doubt. But right now, I just can't afford it or I don't want to sell ... 

It is sometimes cool to not have ALL we want ...

If only we can, from time to time, get some of our dream watches... Do you follow me, because I hardly follow myself. Best, Nicolas.

Cool idea Nic...maybe one day they make a steel 5170 for us?

we can but dream....... Best Imran...  

steel

 
 By: Bruno.M1 : May 19th, 2011-14:01
the 5004 is nice for sure but so out of my league. Now, if they would make a very limited run of a 5070 in steel ... I would sell almost everything I have .... hmmm imo nothing beats a 5070 imagine a 5070/a with beige cream dial - baileys color... yummy y... 

Well, there are still these subdials which are above the 3 / 9 line...

But with this configuration, I would have a serious look on it! Best, Nicolas.

Imram, Would you make a photoshop of a 5146p with the blue dial of the 5960P. Just to see if it's fit. Thanks a lot. A dreamer for special order.

Awesome pics Bruno... :) [nt]

Really enjoyed this post. Thanks for taking us along.

I would be hesitant...

 
 By: fernando : May 19th, 2011-19:03
to enter that building upon first sight. Looks like an ideal place for a mugging, especially when wearing a 5970P. Glad you made it out. What a superb presentation! Patek chronos are the benchmark but only for the chosen few. Thanks for sharing. fernando

Delightful imran...

At present Patek is only taking orders for the 5004A and then it will be up Thiery Stern to decide who gets the allocation. Production is to be over 3 years, with 50 pieces a years that will be produced. A marketing coupe for Patek. I have been promised o... 

Thanks a lot for the report Imran.

I recognize some watches which were displayed at the chronograph exhibition in Paris when the new chronograph caliber was unveiled. Fx

Great report

 
 By: tahoeblue : May 20th, 2011-20:27
I have thought that the 5070P is the most beautiful "simple" chronograph ever produced by Patek, and this report does not change my mind. My favorite complication.

Thanks a lot ...

A very nice event at an interesting venue location. Nevertheless, the most important is the content present at the venue, and Patek Philippe's array of classic and current chronographs does not disappoint! Thank you for sharing this important and impressi...
