Watches - another OCD problem

[Graeme]

So do I, but I think that they missed a trick, and I can think of two or three pieces that I'd much prefer.

It should also have been done in stainless! Personally, I like it but would buy a Calatrava far before this piece.

Yeah, not a fan of pilot (or kinda a pilot) Patek, at least in pictures.  Could change after seeing it in the metal.

Love the look, less enthused about the execution.

I think it's a bit meh.  Raiding their older designs and using a different movement could have made for a much cooler watch.  As is, it's not even in my Patek Top 10.

Nor mine, but I still want one…..

Not keen on the 5524G.  Seems a bit of a misfit for the brand. Its a Patek and as a result will sell regardless.

The Genta designed Nautilus was also a step in a different direction for Patek when it was released back in 1976 however this was an original design not a rehash of an old model.

I don't think the 5524G will have the same longevity as the Nautilus design.

Patek have to be complemented on trying something different, they do have a few different styles within the collection.  If you try and keep the collection fresh then you are going to serve up some hits and the odd miss.

Looking to get a Rolex but in the meantime, I've been rocking this the last few years:

A very black A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Phantom.

Look away now @ddtrash if you want to preserve your bank balance!

That's insane…

[Graeme]

It's not mine, unfortunately. I found it on the Hodinkee Instagram feed, which is XXX rated watch porn.

The Zeitwerk starts at $55K if you look for a used one on Chrono24. The Phantom was a limited edition, and will no doubt go for much, much more.

[tigerpac]

Zeitwerks are very, very cool.  There's so much going on with the movement that I would be scared to buy one used.  I can only imagine the servicing costs!

Jacob & Co. Billionaire Watch…

Not mine, and not to my tastes. But I appreciate the smiley on the back.
