White metal collection now with some color

A recent addition has brought some added "color" to the white metal watch collection.

The rare handcrafts 2015 book in the background was a nice bonus.

Wow! Fantastic collection. Of course I love the 5650 and the 5575! The blue dial of the 5650 is incredible, congrats!

Great additions. Congrats. How often do you wear the 5100 and would you happen to have a wrist shot?

Thanks. I hope you are enjoying your 5575 and 5650 I agree the blue dial on the 5650 is quite beautiful

I am probably in the minority here who like the Aquanaut more than the Nautilus. I plan to continue keep my 5167 and 5164 for everyday wear and the 5650 will be for special occasions.

Thank you. I don't wear the 5100 that often, although one good thing about the watch is that once I give it a full wind, I can pick it up again in the next 10 days without setting the time again.

Here is a wrist shot as requested. I am still trying to learn how to take better photos without the light reflecting off the sapphire crystal

Incredible - tough to choose which to wear! Would love to see all of your collection in one photo, if possible. Wear them all in the best of health.

Thanks. The 5650 have not all been delivered to ADs, nor have they all been assigned to collectors yet. So I would still keep looking and I hope you can get one yourself

Thanks. I agree that Patek did very well in releasing the Aquanaut in a blue dial.

Thank you, Stephen. I know you love blue dial watches and I will try to get at least the blue dial ones together in one photo one of these days. The entire collection on one photo may be a bit more challenging, but I will see what I can do.

I believe you can get the 5650G, although it may take some luck and/or extra negotiation to get one. As someone posted above, the 5650 is showing up at re-sellers, which means ADs have some flexibility in allocating these watches. Both Patek and ADs want to give these pieces to true collectors and you are by definition not only a true collector, but a super collector.

Jon, I have respected your posts for a long time, as well as the knowledge that you have.
And the input that you write in various posts are, imo, are always sound.
But until now, I have often wondered what Patek's you have in your collection and now and have an idea, though based on some other posts, there maybe others
Congratulations on your new addition
