wonder how many of those are made a year

fai9al · 13 December 2015, 05:39 PM

Damn!

sea-dweller · 14 December 2015, 03:06 AM

That's a beauty!

Rogdogg · 14 December 2015, 03:11 AM

That's amazing. I wouldn't think that many people every get to handle one of those, even in its packaging. What an amazing piece

Fiery · 14 December 2015, 03:54 AM

Holy cow! I can only hope it won't end up staying double-sealed locked in a safe for a decade or more :( Such a beauty should be worn every single day.

As you said Paul, someone will have a memorable gift for christmas. Pure class and an amazing ref. Thanks for sharing.

WatchinMD · 14 December 2015, 04:59 AM

Wow a spectacular watch

Samui · 1 January 2016, 03:09 AM

My god what an absolute grail. Maybe it was Tony Fadell who bought it.

watchucallit · 1 January 2016, 03:36 AM

Incredible Piece.!!! Maybe i can rent it for a few minutes.

bkertzer89 · 2 January 2016, 08:19 AM

bkertzer89 · 2 January 2016, 08:21 AM

Case is humidity and dust protected only (not water resistant)

I heard around 5 but can't be sure, could be less, surely not more…

The ultimate PP, oh and someone said 3 complications, but it's 4, moon phase, PC, chrono and MR, amazing...

willski · 2 January 2016, 05:09 PM

Stunning watch. Would love to hear it in real life.

Good thing is, compared to this most other Pateks seem like basement bargains :D

The watch is amazing. How long has it been in production and what sort of production numbers?

Alex Leonat S. · 13 May 2016, 08:22 PM

wow wow ... dream watch ever

Which is insane imo. Why cant they make it WR? 1M on the wrist, one wrong move washing your hands and there goes 1M.

Not really. The worst thing to happen is the watch gets humidity or water inside the case, and that triggers a full service. It may cost $10K though, but not $1M for sure. A bit of water will not destroy a Patek completely, not even when you submerge it.

Im aware it was a figure of speech. But still is it really hard to atleast get a 10m WR on such an expensive watch?

roma1280 · 15 May 2016, 12:31 PM

Obviously the watch is amazing, but have a few dumb questions...

Isn't it odd that it's automatic at this price point and number of complications?
Don't really follow the complication combo, minute repeater and perpetual calendar obviously great together, but chrono is for a sports watch but then the case isn't water resistant so isn't that a bit of a contradiction?
Doesn't this have a micro rotor and isn't that a major issue for the wind of the repeater?

Please don't shoot I'm a novice so apologies in advance.

Samui · 17 May 2016, 01:08 AM

I guess making a MR water resistant would seriously destroy the chime. That kind of makes sense.

masyv6 · 17 May 2016, 10:22 AM

Wow!

lapince · 18 May 2016, 05:15 AM

Amazing, but I don't get why triple, I would include the moon phase and count it as a quadruple, the only thing I find curious is that so many Patek MR's, if not all I don't know for sure, are auto movements, in such a watch I would expect to have the beauty of a manual, not an auto, when you see MR movements from other brands the manual ones are just stunning, I never understood that choice from Patek, especially for this model...

Seems that AP resolved that equation, I heard it sounded great as well

martinr · 18 May 2016, 05:46 AM

You guys that find things wrong with a watch like this must have nothing better to do than complain about something you will never be able to afford ar see in real life for that matter. If you can't appreciate it for what it is why are you in the Patek forum in the first place? Oh wait, I already answered my own question, you like to complain and criticize something you know nothing about. Write Thierry Stern a letter and tell him you could do a much better job running his company because you're all such geniuses and everyone cares what you think.

Right. He wanted two of them.

Check the date of Pauls post and then check the date of Talking Watches with Tony Fadell on Hodinkee.

Are you drunk? We are having a lighthearted conversation here. Why are you taking it so seriously? You have been making some very hostile comments lately towards other users. I hope youre ok.
