It's a very nice watch, even from the photos shown. However the price is high. Understandable because of its complications. Would it do well in the grey market, in view of the high price?

Gorgeous, but why make it in WG and not SS at a far more attractive price point? $119k. Pass. I’ll wait for SS.

Nice vid. Clasp looks like the Aqua's push style. And dial is the new blue.

The base base of the subdial hands are too big imo and doesn't look good.

Exactly. Most of the people obviously love a second hand so why not put it? Can never understand.

All the previous Patek PCs using the 240Q movement have not had a seconds hand. So in order to add a seconds hands, they would have had to modify this movement, which would be some work for the watchmakers. If they wanted a seconds hand, they could have use a 324SQ movement, but the watch would have been a lot thicker.

That makes sense.

I’ve been through my share of PP - including Nautilus - and this is impressive to me. Officially on the list!

Love the watch but the price is truly outrageous. You can buy a 5970g, almost a 5131P, etc....
