new pateks 2024?

[bob101]

Honestly it seems like their goal is to ramp up the price point of “entry” pieces and target new customers who are aware of the brand and willing to pay without question regardless of real innovation or quality. Just to have the logo on the watch.
I don’t think they are so concerned about keeping the current collectors or what long term customers feel about recent releases. There will always be new young wealthy customers who are willing to try make a relationship and pay whatever the asking is for whatever piece they do release.
It’s disappointing but for me many of the best watches from Patek have come and gone and are long discontinued. The good news is these watches are stunning, produced in small numbers with greater traditional techniques and many are a steal by comparison.
Happily you also don’t have to deal with all the AD bs we have to tolerate these days!

The blue dial 5980 looks rather interesting.

A few more hours to the W&W opening.

Hopefully I'm the first name on the 5164G waitlist. I have never wanted an Aquanaut so badly. The blue 5980G is so cool.

I would gladly take any of the four blue-themed pateks. The 5980G and 5164G are specially gorgeous. And so is the 5396 and 5330.

Assuming these leaks are real, I am significantly more enthusiastic about this release than last year's.

Indeed, the blue WT with date is nice. Too bad I just got 2 WT last year...

Leaks were right! There are live in Patek's website.

Oh well.. let’s wait and see what the Richard Mille crowd pleaser looks like..

I agree, the world time and travel time are best this year

Based on prior experience, there could be another release later at W&W. That one is for the grand comps. I'm also looking forward to the Patek Cubitus in Oct.

My thoughts exactly.

It's neither new nor creative, but it's perfect.

Yep whether a watch is new or creative means nothing to me. When the aesthetics sing to me, that's enough for me

[Ichiran]

This one sings to me too.

+1 the best out of the bunch

[Ichiran]

Another angle.

Really nice indeed and think that many people will consider this one their favorite W&W 2024 release from PP. The dial seems matte to me though. Would have preferred to see this one in the 5168G blue with shinier dial and dark blue strap.

[Mighty_Kraken]

Wow this release is the definition of “uninspired” for me.

[Ichiran]

5330G. The red and yellow accents change the whole dynamics of the blue dial.

The 6007g trio was severely criticised for having a stamped dial instead of a hand guilloche one. I always thought that for the price the criticism was unfair.

Now they are releasing a watch with the same dial but more than 2x the price. It is more expensive than the discontinued platinum version. I’m curious to see if the criticism regarding this particular aspect is maintained.

I was just writing to express my disappointment that the cheap looking carbon pattern is spreading through the catalogue like the plague. Smelling continued cost cutting given that the carbon pattern is printed rather than engine turned.

Just to add, the WT with date has a busy dial from the complication alone. The carbon pattern and the "noisy" jeans strap make it look too busy in my eyes. Other than that a great watch and together with 5164G the best of the bunch.

A guy on instagram called swisswatches has some wrist shot videos and all the blue Pateks look amazing especially the WT

I have the steel checkered chrono version, it is a fairly hard to read watch imo. This new WG version definitely looks amazing though!

[ButtButt]

I like those new straps lol

me too will order for my 6119G maybe

[MRBolton]

The new world time is my favorite. I don’t understand the pricing of it, however. They added a date complication, but a little over I think $3k more than the recently discontinued 5230P seems high.

I was actually really disappointed by this release. I had high hopes for a new world time this year. I always loved the 5230G and the 5110P before that, to me they were truly the perfect dress watch.

The new model with the jeans style strap and apparently a new case just looks too sporty.

And I hadn’t even noticed the price yet. How can you increase the white gold model that much? 65K CHF seems excessive.

I agree, an unimpressive release.

[DonLee]

wow, the new white gold world timer is REALLY expensive, even if it's quite nice.

There seems to be a lot of blue this year. the 5164g works, but I would still prefer the aquanaut in steel. Doesn't look like I have anything I want from this years collection.

[bob101]

I’m surprised they rebooted the 5164 so quickly without the crown based integrated travel time. A quick paint job for the dial and precious metal, double the price and jobs done.
