Patek Philippe

Many of you know how much I love this beauty. Compared to many complicated PPs here, my 5146R is considered a humble PP. Nonetheless, it never fails to bring me joy when I wear it. The cream lacquered dial, the sensual curves of the case, the warmth of th...  

Very nice, very versatile, sporty and elegant, usefull complication, great finising, perfect size... In other words, I quite understand your love for 5146, congrats ;-) Wear it in the best of health, Mike

It's a watch I really enjoy a lot based on the factors you listed :) Cheers Robin

nicely down your macro shots , got to brush up on my photography. definitely a joy to own. very fine finish , especially the gold rotor with the calatrava cross. just plain beautiful. warm regards. best geross

Glad you like it geross and thank you for your kind words The rotor is nicely decorated without being too ornamental. Just nice for me :) Cheers Robin

Really like the results! Someone, at the Lange forum I believe, put in some very, very sharp macros. Did not really like them as "too technical" pictures. Yours look great and are like a memory of a dream: detailed but still blur. Many thanks Moritz

Actually my photos are far from perfect and you correctly pointed out the blurred parts :) I was trying hard to make them nicer but am limited by my kits. Am glad you like the effects ! :) Thank you for your encouragement! It's PuristS like you who make m... 

It is really a beauty!!! Thansk for sharing your appreciation of it!! S

For your kind comments! :) Cheers Robin

I absolutely love that cream lacquered dial. Gorgeous - and you captured it very nicely! Thanks for sharing - looks great on your wrist!

Was what attracted me to this watch in the first impression. I am glad you like it too! The current Calatrava 5227 (I think) with the hunter case back has the same colored dial if I recall rightly. PP got this color right ! Cheers Robin

...to life !! Good observation and comments about the moon phase. I must now use the loupe to look at my annual calendar as well. Cheers, Gordon

The moonphase looks so unique unlike most other brands' shiny moon. PP does these details with style Enjoy your annual calendar under a loupe and let us know what you see! :) Cheers Robin

I like a lot. Well done, Robin! Cordially, Oliver

It's the beauty of the details that drive us crazy hehe. Cheers Robin

Hey Robin, regarding the moonphase and the texture of the moonphase disc, Patek Philippe recently changed to this "grainy" metallic texture on their moonphase watches approximately five years ago. Before that, they would have a shiny polished foil moonpha... 

One of my friends told something related too recently and he said there was a post on the various moonphase designs of PP watches over time. I will try to find that post soon and share. Cheers Robin

If you could find the article about PP moonphase evolution. I had also noticed this change ( between you and me, I am not sure that I prefer the new grained version over the previous polished gold one ), and I was wondering when the change has occured. I ... 

Some interesting posts and comments from our community members comparing the older shiny moonphase vs the new grainy ones Cheers Robin

I had obviously missed that thread. I had also noticed that change and I agree with Chopper88 that there are pros and cons for each option. This detail is interesting to notice, but probably not significant enough so as to influence the choice ( at least ... 

I should start learning how to take macro shots of my watches.

It's quite easy with macro lens on even smartphones ! :) Lighting needs to be good though Cheers Robin

Glad you are still enjoying your 5146! Cheers Robin

And very sorry I had missed your post back then :) Am glad you like these macros I will be sharing more soon :) Cheers Robin

....works much better than the sober WG and generic YG versions.

But I think the WG cream dial is also very nice. the slate dials don't speak so much to me :) Glad you like the RG version too Cheers Robin

That combo makes the watch look very cold; I would have difficulties combining it with a dark blue suit and a white shirt. A RG watch is much warmer.

Hi Robin, I have been a lurker on this forum not posting much. I just purchased a 5146R new in box. I will take delivery of it in one month. I too am very excited to wear it. I is certainly one of Patek's most beautiful pieces in my opinion. I will post a... 

Yes pls share your new 5146 when it arrives :) Don't me shy to post here, we have a great community here and it's thru this community that I have made many new friends all over the world! I look forward to your post on your new 5146 ! :) Cheers Robin

Thanks for the invitation. I like this forum very much. I am not as well versed in watches like most of you on the forum which is why I don't post much, Yes you are right , it seems as though you are all very kind. I will definitely start to post more. Th... 

I'm not a collector like most of you on the list, just wanted a nice watch to wear on a daily basis (except exercise and golf). Have had my 5146r for 14 months and still incredibly accurate (about 15 s a month fast). Best part is that no one at work has a... 

You are right it is a wonderful watch. I have had a PP 5054J for the last 13 years. It was by far the most accurate watch in my collection. I have recently purchased a NIB 5146R. I will be taking delivery of it in one month from an AD on the East Coast. I... 

For my leather straps, once in a while I apply leather cream on them to take care of the leather Feel free to share some pics of your lovely watch :) Cheers Robin

My daily beater ...  

Rg makes the dial look much softer and warmer. Great combo with the cashmere sweater!

In my book it is one of the most desirable Patek as it has a decent size, nice complication and a very, very nice aura. From macro to reality: thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you. Moritz

And glad you enjoyed :) Cheers Robin

well.. never short of compliments wearing the 5146... Cheers !

Try some macros bro :) Long time no meet - next gtg my friend! Cheers Robin
