 By: foversta : June 27th, 2013-15:10
Dear all, I'm just back from the 2013 novelties cocktail organized by Patek Philippe France at the Hotel Particulier Weston close to the Iena Square. Of course, one of the objectives for the guests was to discover the new collection which was displayed in...  

Looks like it was a fantastic party!

I participated a similar party in London on Tuesday 2 days ago. We went with a boat sipping champagne to Greenwich and onboard Cutty Sark. Fantastic! Onboard Cutty Sark we had cocktails and snacks and the dinner was served under the keel of this beautiful... 

Thanks Kari for your comments!

... I felt like I saw the legendary Yeti when I saw the picture of the 5711 in platinum!

5711 1/p???????

Is this 5711 1/p a new prototype watch that will be produced or was it already produced and I was asleep at the wheel? I am perplexed and wishing for one! ;-)

5711 1/p? Is that a prototype??

 
 By: daytonaman799 : June 27th, 2013-18:41
Is that for sale? What is the MSRP? I WANT IT!!! A 5726 1/p wouldn't be so bad either!!!!

Thank you

for the nice impressions. Especially I like the picture with you and the SternĀ“s and of course the two pictures of the "mere" 5711. For the first time we saw pictures in the net and I hope I can handle it one day ... :-) Did you handle it? Oliver

I was totally blown away by its shine - then I read 'Platinum' and every thing was clear to me. A gorgeous, understated watch, an epitome of PP, at least for me. Magnus

No Oliver...

I preferred to leave it on his owner's wrist. But as I know him now, I think that I will have more opportunities! I would like to feel the weight on my wrist! Thanks for your comments! Fx

You will be impressed...

... when you will handle the 5711P. Nautilus equal steel equal a certain weight.... With this one, multiple the weight by 10 :)... at least that's how it felt. Strongly built also feels very solid.

I confirm...

The place was charming, the watches were charming too and overall, the singer was absolutely charming ;-)

Thank you FX

A wonderful exhibition at a splendid and beautiful venue. Looks like everyone had a great time and the watches are indeed outstanding! Joseph NB (for those who don't speak French: "hotel particulier" = private mansion or townhouse.)

Thanks Joseph!

And thanks for the translation! Fx

Thanks for the sweet moment..

... almost as if we were there. The platinum nautilus is amazing! What a shock, the moment you hold it, the weight strikes you as you expect something much much lighter. If you've noticed the dial has a slight different blue, nothing really noticeable but... 

Thanks for your detailed comments!

Actually, I was invited to attend the press presentation the day before but sadly I had a very important meeting at the office. It is logical to not open the displays for security reasons during a cocktail. Being an insurer, I can only approve this decisi... 

I see the 5160R as the wearable...

Version. The skymoon being like a concept that shows what they can do. Or something like that, you get the idea

Thank you FX for your usual excellent report....

It reminded me of our very own Patek event earlier this month. The same watches, more or less, but without the 6002. Was imo also held at an equally grand location. [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] Blenheim Palace, the former home of one of Great...
