complications and PM in the sports range. Might as well capitalize on the demand by introducing more expensive metals and complications.

I hope if they come up with an aquanaut chrono it won't be white gold. The bezel will be a scratch magnet.

on the topic of Basel 2018 - is it worth going if you are going as a general visitor?? will you even get to see the new releases?

If Patek comes out with a 5164G with a blue dial, I'm in.

i have no idea what ill do, that one is going to give me nightmares. too similar to the SS to have both in a collection, but in G and blue.

Not a prediction but I would love to see a 5712 with a white dial.

After talking to one of the high ups, you can expect this shift pretty confidently :) They are really going to try and focus peoples attention back to the calatrava/classic styles, they know the sport will always sell at the end of the day. Doesn’t mean they don’t put out something cool in the sport lineup though even still...

I even see some Nautilus lines in this, so maybe :

Hahaha nice one

Yes, if for no other reason that to provide live updates to all of us! :)

I would be surprise if Patek makes a 5164G. It would look similar to the 5650G.

[galnaimi]

My guessing is that there will be white gold Aquanaut 5164G & even 5167 .

Lovely 5726. The grey dail looks a bit brown? Do it turn brown in some lights?

[rolex_addict]

Two tone 5711 coming to basel!

In line with expectations on my side.

Bit surprised there hasn’t been any news. With the discontinuation of the 5960 I’m hoping for some sort of replacement that is thinner and without a rotor....

I foresee (read hope) for a 42 mm SS black dial chronograph aquanaut...even a white dial would be interesting

[CarpeDiem]

5524 in Rose Gold and Aquanaut Chrono are apparently strong possibilities..

[yessir69]

How about a yellow gold 5711with a blue dial please.

[dmash]

How has nobody even mentioned a Calatrava (specifically the 5196) update? Something that's long overdue for:

1. slight increase to 38mm
2. larger movement
3. see through case back

Is everyone so caught up with this sport model hype they're forgetting more historical pieces?

[daveyw]

5146p with blue dial?

The Calatrava is practically a different brand now, it's like the Cellini.

I know, it saddens me. That simplistic 2 hand, sub-seconds dial is one of my favorite layouts on a watch. Seems it's quickly becoming a thing of the past.

[Ichiran]

I would like to see a 5711 in titanium.

Patrimony over 5196 and 5296 all day for me. You already have this covered!

But only here, on the Other Watches sub forum Lange is smashing it, and I too would look to Lange first for a dress watch, think Patek have gone stale here and lost ground to Lange, Journe, Moser and others.
