Tried on a few Patek Philppe Watches today.
Hi Guys,
I tried on a few Patek Philppe watches when I was at the AD today. Wow they make a fine watch. ![]() It was not busy at all so the sales person was able to let me handle a 5101P 10 Day Tourbillon it was a bit out of my price range at 380K (CAD). ![]() I like the 5119 Calatrave model. It was going for only 18K. How much does this model sell for in the USA? Same price or much cheeper? Maybe someday for now I will stick with Rolex. ![]() Take Care, Eric |

Hi Eric
Many thatnks for your thread. I always like to read about other members experiences of seeing and trying PP watches. I too have seen the 10 day tourbillon but its one that I'm not particularly keen on. Maybe the price tag of over £100,000 may have something to do with it. ![]() I shall be window browsing soon in London, so I intend to call in at the PP boutique as well as WEMPE's And next month - I can't wait, I going to the home of Swiss watches. ![]() ![]() PP museum, here I come. ![]() ![]()

Ahhh, another PP customer in the waiting!
the 10 day is indeed superlative. a more affordable watch with similar styling is the 5124... available in white or yellow gold. |

Got to fondle a few PP's while touring the watch shops with the London TRF GTG gang. Very nice indeed.

hey Eric, can you confirm if it's true that Birks now owns Brinkhaus?

![]() Now you can get a new Patek on credit throughout Birks (10 or 20 months with no int.) ![]() This can be dangerous, what is 380K for a 5101P 10 Day Tourbillon over 20 months. ![]() ![]() |
