I assume you jest but it’s got an a5 chip built into the escapement. When you push the button in the middle it reads your email subject lines aloud in Morris code using three miniature gongs. Extremely complex and useful.

The OP idolised a comment Thierry supposedly made, with a photo that flies in the face of it. It was that which I highlighted, and has nothing to do with his wrist shape/size or looseness of the strap. By comparison, I’ll bet the Nautilus on his wrist doesn’t exhibit the same symptom – is that by design or just sheer flukiness? You’d have thought a company generating CHF 1.5B annually in turnover would’ve invested some of those profits into being fully au fait with 95th percentile ergonomics for all its models, not just the cheaper sporty ones. Just in case that’s not clear enough to fully comprehend, I lay the blame for the look of the watch on the OP’s wrist solely at the feet of Patek, not his wrist nor which hole in the strap he has the buckle’s pin in. |

obviously the ideal choice that my next strap will be made to measure (a hole right between the two i got on the stock strap)otherwise I still consider the 5131 case one of the nicest ever made.

Apologies to the OP for not congratulating him on acquiring this piece – it was remiss of me due to focussing on Thierry’s statement.
I can only imagine that you must be over the moon with it. Hopefully it’ll provide may years of contentment. |

Wow, amazing watch! I've never seen a double split that didn't have the chrono at 5 and 7. How did you do that?
