Thanks for posting! I like the green 5930 and the green 5905 on bracelet.

Change metal, add green dial and maybe an Aquanaut bracelet. The new PP collection update approach.
I like the RG 5204 though. |

Surprisingly 5930P is my favorite among those. Much better looking that 5930G given the white cities ring. This one may well remain rare as I don't expect them to make it for more than one or two years. The problem is that I have no use for a chrono on a WT.
5905/1A looks even bigger and bulkier than its PM siblings. Certainly not for me. |

So brilliant! Cancel your hottest watch, the 5711/1a, and issue exciting new releases. Like a 5930 with a totally new dial color: green, no one's thought of doing that. And how about the 5905, since even the few people who know it exists don't like it? Put it on the Aquanaut bracelet which everyone (except me) hates and you can produce a watch that's both hated and unknown. God willing, it won't sell and ADs will have something to display in their cases.

5960/1A was not very popular initially due to the bracelet. A lot of people replaced the bracelet with a strap.
With a different bracelet on the 5905/1A, with a slightly higher price, we will see how the popularity will be. The 5905P prices were lower than the 5960P. At $59K USD for the 5905/1A, it isn't cheap, but it isn't too expensive. Typically the $50k barrier limits interest for a lot of people. But I am sure speculators will pick thes up. |

I really like the 5905. The Aqua bracelet is a good fit since this is a thick watch. I'm sure VIPs will snatch up this piece.

Remind us in six months that you said this, but only if you're right.
There is too much 5960 and 5905 baggage laying around at the $80K and under range for this to be at $200K 6 months after it hits the stores. The only 5960 that has any buoyancy is the black dial 5960/1a which had a limited production. |

Also don't forget: 5960p-016 (black dial) that had limited run as well, 1 year.

The new 5905 is almost double the MSRP of the 5711 while I am sure it’s not double the cost. So with the 5905 PP will have better margin while in the same time avoid being the one trick pony Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The cost is the movement and the R+D that went into making/designing it

You make some excellent points. If I may expand upon one, I don't think PP minds being a one trick pony as long as that pony is expensive and provides a huge profit margin, but not the low end one complication 5711.

The Aquanaut-esque bracelet doesn’t suit the 5905 in my opinion. I wish they’d taken the same route that they did with the 5172, but then critics would fault Patek for being unoriginal – more so than they already do. The 5930p looks pretty interesting. Personally I couldn’t pull it off but I can see younger lads and ladies being able to.

Not a ton of effort being made here I’d say. I’m sure the chrono will be a unicorn, just because

Underwhelming.
Thankfully this will only serve to make the 5172G Chrono more desirable. |

5905 will definitely not be case fodder. 2-3x msrp book it.
I think the bracelet looks far better here than on the aqua.

I really like the colorway on the 5204r as well.

Rolex's success with green is now spreading like Covid.

… With the steel version, I see one plus with this generating slightly more interest into ACs. It’s a better attempt with the bracelet but still not a fan (mainly because it felt like or basically just slapped an Aquanaut bracelet on it). They really need to work in that department. I was secretly hoping for a 5205P with a salmon dial :drool: |

The green dial on the 5930P along with the green strap is certainly a bold step for Patek. I don't think they have made many watches with green dials before, except for some LE watches. Patek often follows a WG new release watch with a RG next. But a platinum 5930 is going to attract some collectors and others may be deterred by the $100k USD price tag.
