First Patek — inquired a few months ago expecting quite a wait but got the call faster than anticipated. Weighs nothing, fits every strap type. Highly recommended for all considering the brand!
(It’s also nice having a watch that reminds me when it’s Wednesday, my dudes.)
I think it’s too big for your wrist, but that wouldn’t have stopped me, either :)
Try one on — I promise it’s not as big as it looks in that photo. I just suck at photography and angles!
Probably because you got the camera so close to the watch. That distorts the image and makes everything in the center look disproportionately huge. A photo from ~12 inches (~30cm) away would make it look more natural.
Is it a perpetual calendar or annual ?
“New Patek, who dis?”
Would never have picked this for a Patek…it just looks super basic for some reason :/
Fair - as you can tell by these comments alone, this watch is a bit polarizing. All the more reason I like it. IMO, I find it a lot more interesting to look at than something like a plain blue 5711. (Not that I’d ever turn down a 5711…)
Not to my taste but glad you’re happy with it! That’s all that matters.
This is one that you really have to see in person to appreciate. I tried one on a couple weeks ago and it was far more impressive than the pictures would have you believe.
Dumb question: What is the second outermost ring for? The one that goes 1-53… weeks I’m guessing?
It is indeed the week number. Some cultures (such as mine, Danish) refer to e.g. week 37 a lot more when making plans.
One of my grails, this thing is sweet
I am waiting for that watch from my AD. Congratulations!
Sorry to be a hater, but it’s much too big for your wrist.
Watch is absolutely fantastic and fits you great! Congratulations!!
Thanks, man! Very much enjoying it. Check it out if you ever get the chance.
Patek is king 🤷♂️
Lovely dial, but what is going on with the font? Is it meant to look hand-lettered?
Allegedly, Thierry Stern liked the mockup so much that he said they should keep the handwriting touch as well: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F17a8556e-bb6f-4593-85d4-96c329ab4106_1070x1364.png
I believe these actually are hand-lettered
Wow that’s really cool if true
Yeah that’s a lot of money on your wrist.
do you find this to be too big?
Not at all. I have watches ranging a 34mm to 42mm and think this one works well for what it is.
Tax plz.
