A few quick shots of the Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 10th, 2015-04:56
I just wanted to share some shots of the Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date in Pink Gold. I am a big fan of the Patrimony line and of the retrograde complicationÂť But here I find the Day-Date to take over too much for my taste. The Date arc I find OK but why d...
Oh, sorry....

But still the same problem.... Best Blomman
One of my fav. VC with the 1955

We don't hear much about this one but it has been in my scope for quite a long time. Maybe that for T€.40 asked the movement, although very nicely finished, is quite too "simple" (or small?) for my taste. I can't judge about the double retrograde complica...
I agree on the movement size...

Maybe if they did the opening a tad bigger it would feel better..? Sorry for pointing out the Day issue, hope I didn't "ruin" this one for you now... Best Blomman

I chose the earlier version and layout

I liked the black dial with guilloche and the smaller layout of the day. The case size also worked better for me I have not yet seen the latest black dial in the metal. Best, Joe ...
Yup, that would be the ONE!

I would choose the same, Joe. But, of course, yours might be a little challenging to find. ;-) But yes, size, dial finish and layout all work to make this earlier version quite wonderful. Best, respo
Mine, ref 47245, is 37mm

The current version is 42.5mm. Significant size difference. They really become two different watches. Very different personalities. Best Joe
5.5 mm difference?!
By: blomman Mr Blue : January 13th, 2015-04:59
Oh, that big difference! Didn't know that. Yes, then I understand it is two very different watches. Best Blomman
This has long been one of my favorites

I actually believe the proportions are "just right". I personally prefer the slightly larger case size of this one over the previous retrograde date model. Also, I like the more "modern" aesthetic in general. Regarding the size of the day arc, I am not su...
Both looks great on your wrist!

You might be right about the alignment of the Day arc, but still - it is something that I know I would "reflect" on each time I would wear it. Best Blomman
