It’s a bit long, but otherwise I like this look.

The galaxy-style dial caught my attention instantly.
Still deciding if it’s a perfect everyday piece or more of a statement watch.

Thinking white gold meteriote DD? I am not sure on Pateks, maybe a world time. Favorite to wear is vacheron. I also love the AP and do want one with a bracelet over time. The skydweller was my first big watch purchase so somewhat sentimental. The RD is just for fun. I also saw ozzy Osborne has one like it which influenced that decision.

Rocking the 5524 on a beautiful SoCal evening…..

Spotted in the window of a consignment shop in a small town in France. No box, no papers. 34mm manual movement. Anyone know the ref? Could be a 3919

€6,890 Euros is roughly $8,000 USD.

Google Maps rates the shop very highly (4.7, 150 reviews)

New to me - vintage Patek Calatrava 3520/10. 9 yr wedding anniversary gift from my wife. Incredibly excited about it.

Took pictures and requested an extract from Patek. Will see what comes back in a couple months. Been researching the model as much as I can, not a ton of info online.

Hey guys

First-time poster here, and I just had to share my excitement. Somehow the picture upload did not work on my first attempt, so I am sorry for the mistake.

I have other watches in my collection, but this is my first Patek Philippe. I still cannot believe I was able to get it at retail directly from the boutique.

I think I got the bug, this is my second one and I love it. If you know you know

Hi all — I’m looking at this Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5065A and would appreciate the group’s thoughts:

https://thekeystone.com/products/patek-philippe-steel-aquanaut-ref-5065-new-arrival-1?_pos=6&_fid=2d3510397&_ss=c

A few things I’m trying to get a better read on:

Is the price fair for a 5065A in this condition?

How much should I discount it if it does not come with box and papers?

Anything specific I should be looking for on a 5065A before buying — dial, tritium/lume, case polish, movement, strap/clasp, etc.?

I know the 5065A is a smaller/older Aquanaut, but I like the proportions and the more understated look compared to the modern 5167A. Just trying to make sure I’m not missing anything before seriously considering it.

Short trip to Taiwan for food and they had one available but only for “locals” to purchase. It had just arrived over the weekend and we were the first to check it out. Very slow Monday morning and this is a super sleepy town to begin with, so surprised there was even a Patek Boutique here. Sales guy said they had started to reach out to their customer list, don’t expect it to last the week.

Patek is pretty competitive where I live so not possible to get an allocation. Had me thinking for a second on a quick relocation…..

Let’s imagine these were the exact same cost… which would you go for?

Given the same case material, same movement, and same dial layout, the current 6159G and the recent 5160/500G are identical in all aspects but their designs.

The 6159 is a sporty, modern take on a historically dressy/refined complication, while the 5160 boasts gorgeous hand engraving on every surface. Although it’s a very particular look- you don’t see engraving like that from Patek very often, much less at this price point.

A few of my drawings that I've been doing for the past few months. They are all made with the same technique, on papers of different dimensions
