New collection on Patek.com today

[sandosdogs]

Are non baselworld launches common ?

Is this just ladies collections or do gentleman collections get launched outside of baselworld ?

[enjoythemusic]

Baselworld is dead. Many companies not going.

Today Patek launched the ladies' Twenty~4 Automatic. The original Twenty~4® steel bracelet model debuted in 1999, but this is their first self-winding version.

I like it, but have to imagine these will sell below MSRP. Any guesses what kind of discount AD will give?

The 7300/1200a-001 (blue) is quite nice. I guess it will be another popular-hard-to-get-long-waitlist model.

I agree. it's quite nice.

Any news on pricing? Possibly ~$30k USD for the SS version? The ladies 7118/1A Nautilus is $25k, so it will likely be competing in this price range. They share the same movement but the new Twenty~4 has a different case and bracelet with diamonds on the bezel.

26080 USD

I sort of like it. Not great but not a bad offering. Unfortunately 36mm is too large for my wife.

25k....congrats on hitting

[tom2517]

Very generic looking.

Goodbye Baselworld....well i enjoyed the one and only invite to Patek this year ti try out the models...guess there wknt be a 2019 invite

[tyler1980]

why are we assuming a ladies launch which isnt a huge deal indicates anything about Baselworld? Ladies Nautilus models are even pretty obtainable. Not the same thing as a launch of a 5968, 5740G, or the 5270P (for the serious collector, not really a mass market piece but still). Launch one of those off cycle and i might read something into it.

If anything it gave this launch some press as otherwise if would be buried in the stuff Patek released already this year or next year. If i was going to assume anything its that sales on ladies watches are particularly soft and they moved up the launch to spotlight these pieces as otherwise is was a Basel 2019 release.

It happens, the most recent non Baselworld release was I believe in 2016 (Sept/Oct) for the Nautilus 40th anniversary pieces - they were pretty high profile!

[Starwalker]

looks like a baume and mercier or gp or any other brand. like tom said - very generic looking.

[jopek]

I think its quite elegant.
If they made a bigger one without diamonds I'd be up for one.

His and Hers set. :) :)

just saying its not some groundbreaking hot watch and there are many possible reasons for it not just that it is something regarding baselworld.

Looks like they did the 20th Anniversary of the Twenty~4 a bit early

[Fat_ninja]

My wife loved the commercials that they put out there at launch. They are also doing a ladies show in anyc to push the pieces.


But wife was like... its nice but it cost as much as the 7118 and i have one with gold/diamonds already... not sure it is worth the money. Think she still likes the aquanaut more

my wife likes these ones a lot as i showed her pics first thing this morning. Not a fan of the aquanaut or the ladies versions of the nautilus both with and without diamonds. So i told her if she gets this the apple watch goes in the trash

its 50/50 at this point

that is a good looking women’s watch! Probably the least expensive automatic women’s offering from Patek?

I was lucky eniugh to be a Patek guestt at Baselworld this year and i guess it costs them huge bucks. Double story...private viewing roims etc etc. More regular rekeases througjout the year whets the apptite versus 30 in one go....as tbey are showing releases to their AD's this can easily be done at tbeir HO without show costs...in addition tbey seemed to jave embraced social media and their website is a huge improvement so tbey are joining the 21st century....maybe not 2019 as tbey are still swiss and need to show support.... ut baselworld will be a distant memory soon

The ladies Nautilus 7118 is marginally cheaper but does not have diamonds. The Calatrava is slightly more pricey because of the precious metal used.

This one seems to serve a niche nicely between the 2.

i hope they figure out the social media... they are really, really bad at it. They dont post anything on IG for a long time and then they drop about 20 posts at once. Then they overuse the mosaic theme which just looks weird in a feed as its fragments of pictures. If you navigate to their page it looks better, but generally it takes a lot of work to figure out what message they are trying to convey when scrolling through your feed. Im all for the concept though.

Indeed this isn't rocket science hire one former facebook or IG employee or at least someone under 25 with a nikon and a macbook pro and they could improve markedly.
