Yes, to the point.

Agreed on all levels. Left, right, up and down, a brilliant and correct strategy. Instead of offering endless iterations of Nautilus and Aquanaut, do what you do best, but with a great twist. The Ethos is not lost, but re imagined, to match the morals of the times at hand. 


And a great leader knows, that in order to lead, you must not become irrelevant to your time. Keep the heritage, keep the past, but re interpret. As much as i own and love both the Nautilus and the Aquanaut, I cannot help but admire the new Calatravas. This is the true accomplishment. 

Bravo, to everyone and anyone responsible.

Now are you going to do something else in addition to taking a photo ? 😃

You're welcome.

And no, of course, this is so way out of my league that the though never actually crossed my mind.

A fantastic watch…

Thanks for the picture! Open faced dials seem to be the new green!

This Patek is a particularly beautiful example but I also like the new VC open faced tourbillon (and the complete calendar they did a year or so ago). All the best, Jon

Nice picture of a rather unique watch

Thanks for sharing this nice picture of what is a rather unique watch; Three of the highest complications (Tourbillon, Minute Repeater and Perpetual calendar) in a watch of manageable size render it very nice. I guess only the “small details” of pricing m... 

Very nice execution

Enjoy, then.

Beautiful guilloche on dial, nice applied numerals, very daring choice of strap , lovely how the stitching picks up the blue hues What is not to like ? 🤩 Jerome

Wow. A smoked sapphire dial seems to add 50-60% for the same piece otherwise in retail now day. I know PP will not be different . Very, very cool, did well for Lange

This is the first I’ve seen of this one, a grail of grail pieces for sure. Thanks for posting

A truly spectacular, grail release. And the sportification of PP, across all collections, continues. R

This is a great point, in the sense that the "modernization" of much of the current catalog, also in terms of aesthetics and design, is in my view key to the unprecedented success Patek's *entire* offering has experienced during the last few years...

Perhaps the most systematic example we are witnessing is the incremental upgrade of the Calatrava collection, with a number of "new generation" models that are slowly being introduced. So much interest from collectors and such a high demand for the Calatr... 

Yes, to the point.

Thanks again for your feedback Romanos, and in full agreement! It is precisely for this level of posts and quality of commentary that our Patek forum is a (the?? :-) chief source of information -- as well as opinion -- for collectors around the world!

There's so much to love about Patek Philippe beyond its sports models, and I'm glad to see that our discerning collectors are again attracted to a wide offering from the entire catalog. Indeed, kudos first and foremost to Patek's leadership for an accompl... 

so amazing love it
