    I guess when I see a chronograph I just automatically think it is a man's watch.

    It’s the smaller diamond version of the 5172 chrono. Almost bought this for my wife but she hates manual watches. She likes the quays Pateks (ladies aquanauts) cause she doesn’t have to set the time.

    I had no idea that Patek made watches with quartz movements.

    I like to keep everything nice and tidy. But metal scratches. If the case was gold, I would be more cautious.

    To you (fellow PP guys) is the 5905/1A a sports watch or a dress watch? Or both?

    Sporty for sure, but it has a lovely presence with the contrast of matte and polished surfaces and looks elegant on the wrist.

    Both. That said, depends on what you're wearing and the occasion when dressed up.

    On my way to pick up another watch. If not I was going to consider one I saw for sale.
    You know the green dials do not picture very well. The green looks flat on most photos.
    I just love the green sunburst. Reminds me of the green 116508.

    The green in real life is certainly muted. But I love it.

    New collection is out.

    The green travel time is the winner for me.

    The 40mm calatravas in the 3 different colors- home run.

    The 24 hour dual time zone travel time- elegant and refined.

    The rose gold 5968 is a winner!!


    so many good pieces this year!!

    I wish Pateks were actually able to be purchased by us mere mortals. :( :)

    Do you think the 6007 was a way for Patek to draw in more younger clients?
