Is this lose all the characteristic of Patek?
I mean, Patek = Complication, Elegance, Wear well with suit...
But this one... I think we can have the Same design in IWC for Much Less???

You will always be able to find something cheaper than a Patek, but that is definitely not the same thing as a Patek

??? Literally a million other pateks available at this price point of retail 50s and grey 40s. Why worry about the one that was released years ago that’s more casual? Buy a 6119!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It absolutely gleams in the metal. Deeply underrated watch IMO. Eminently legible, and the travel time complication is perfect.

Until you put the IWC on and realise it is 4 inches thick and has a lug to lug of 95mm

I think it is great that they have been thinking out of the box and I would want more of that.
That said, I am not a fan of that specific watch and find the travel time complication overrated. Like the poster above I prefer 5522A but couldn't convince myself to pay 40+k secondary to own yet another automatic 324 powered watch. |

The 5522 is a special piece. Some might say that it even has borderline magical properties. One time I was feeling hungry and I was wearing my 5522 and I looked at the watch and immediately felt full. That has never happened with my IWC chrono. |
