I liked this watch when I saw it in pics, thinking it was a smash hit. I thought this because its a moon disc Patek has never done etc...
But seeing the real pictures has all but erased my lust. (Not your fault Oliver! )
It's SO busy.
In some ways it's a relief to not feel the blinding lust...
But my personal tastes continue toward unassailable elegance and gimmick free watchmaking... occasionally with interest in bulky sportswatches...
Although Thierry has created some great watches in his tenure so far... ( a few IMHO, but nonetheless...) this one is another 'if it weren't Patek, it wouldn't matter' design, IMHO.
With that said, it will surely sell out instantly, double in value, overnight... the gray dealers will get most of them etc etc... AD's will lie to everyone about availability... as it always goes with Patek LE's....
Is that good for Thierry or bad? A splash of cold water might lead him to the refined 'je ne sais quoi' elegance of years past...
Wonderful problems to have, I suppose.
Thanks again for the report.
