Patek Philippe

My favourite Patek Philippe watch of Baselworld 2011: the new 5153G!

 

I've given my opinion about the watch I see as the most important new watch for the Patek Philippe range at Baselworld 2011, namely the 5270G.

I'll give ASAP some information about the Patek Philippe 5208 as it is a premiere for Patek Philippe and  a watch that will stand among few others at the top of the (wristwatch) horological summit.

But I can't wait more to post here the only pic I have of my favourite new watch in the Patek Philippe range for 2011.

In the past the 5053G has long been my (most affordable) dream Patek Philippe, even if the date integration always annoyed me slightly (all dates generally annoy me, at least slightly).

Two years ago the launch of the 5153J was a good surprise, even if the watch was  a J. I guess a Patek Philippe would have to be at least a 5170 or a 5970 to tempt me in J. But it was sure that there would be other colours someday. That's the way things go.

I had hoped again recently for a white gold 5153.

I got it. I got even more of it as it is appearing with an unexpected black dial.

A white gold Calatrava with a black dial, and one without a single diamond!

Honestly I had not even dreamed of a black dial version. A white face would have been enough but I happily receive the black one.

I even more happily receive it as it is even showing a white date on a black background.

I can just say I love everything about this watch.

The two part dial with hand-guilloched center seems gorgeous.

The hands are seemingly perfectly readable.

The case size is my kind of size.

I even love the strap style!

In fact this watch could easily challenge the 5711/1A for begin my first Patek Philippe, if any of them was in my reach. They are two different ways of enjoying the same calibre.

After all The 5153G is water resistant at 30 meters and white gold can't rust!

I hope to see one soon, even if I fear it may fastly be a best seller in the Calatrava range.

I urge all Baselworld visitors who can share pics to do so. Thank you by advance.

Cheers
