Willith Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I used to subscribe to that magazine, but it cost me too much (i wanted to buy too many of the watches). I'll have to check this one out today when I go out to run some errands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Manny Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I wouldn't pay a penny over 50k for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasng Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Many Purists were very divided about this one. There were the people who didn't like the fact it had a annual calendar instead of a perpetual calendar, and the colours of the dial, because they decided to use red and blue numbering. But, it's quite a milestone for Patek to introduce their first automatic chronograph movement, with a annual calendar. At 55K, it's not bad for a Patek, especially since it's in Platinum. It would be great if they put out a steel (not bloody likely, however), but I hear they will put out YG, RG and WG versions, and should run about 40K. At 55K in Platinum, don't even think about owning one. The waiting list will still probably be years long, as this is what happened with the 3712 Nautilus. But a 50K for a Patek, I would rather buy a used 5059 Perpetual, than this design disaster. IMO, most of the stuff Patek has been putting out recently is pretty bad. You should see the new Minute Repeater Skeleton Perpetual Calendar. It looks like a cheap Chinese skeleton fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
