I prefer the 5524, the dial of of the 5522 is too clean for me.

LPPP · 9 July 2017, 03:54 PM

Nice. Less cluttered dial and no awkwardly placed pushers here.

youthagainsttt · 9 July 2017, 03:54 PM

I really would've liked it more if the lugs was curved round instead leaving the big gaps there

LPPP · 9 July 2017, 03:57 PM

Date aperture will be great.

michaelodonnell123 · 9 July 2017, 04:00 PM

I just can't decide which one I want.

It would get boring on the wrist quickly I think, really not many little details or anything to look at. If it's really limited it would be a good collector piece.

I was thinking what if it didn't say Patek on the dial? But I'm sure they're all spoken for or pretty close to it.

GB-man · 9 July 2017, 04:34 PM

I love it. Then again I like simple and steel. I'd never be able to get one at sticker though so congrats to those who can.

I think go Shinola....you probably also should look at RWS which looks like a Daniels which really is a fancy looking Breguet or a Voutilainen that is just an expensive Jurgensen...Cheers

Talk about jumping the shark

Better pic

KarlS · 9 July 2017, 07:54 PM

OP where did you get the article? I cant seem to find this as online and if this is a pre-embargo it may need to be deleted...Patek stated they were only releasing details on 12 July of the watches...cheers

Jetkopite · 9 July 2017, 08:13 PM

Wooow that with a Tiffany stamp I think would look awesome...

I can't find it either. A similar post was deleted on Purists.

How would that change your perception lol

1William · 9 July 2017, 10:13 PM

I like it, but here we go again. A manufacturer producing a watch that has great appeal, in limited numbers, at a price that can only be described as extreme for a three hand SS watch. We will read the hype, see some special customers get the watch and then it will show up with some Grey Market dealers at even greater prices. It will further alienate a possible customer base and then the hype will die down and the company will repeat the process.

Well they are salespeople. For items like this that nobody actually needs a lot of the purchase decision is based on emotion.

nick c · 9 July 2017, 11:34 PM

Looks great

lapince · 10 July 2017, 12:02 AM

Interesting but I would rather add some cash and get a 5524 if I wanted to get this sort'of watch

Is your Vout thread updated? Need a Nymphs report on the caseback. You are in Thailand and now we never hear from You. LOL!

chorne · 10 July 2017, 12:43 AM

This article is in the August 2017 issue of Esquire magazine. I received this issue in the mail 2 days ago.

I was just messing with you Brother but at least we all received an education on woodworking and fine craftsmanship

Nice piece. It looks too plain. Prefer 5524 due to more interesting face and larger size. I'll be at the NYC exhibition. Looking forward to checking it out in person.
