^PAM's are an addiction Ali . The basic design is simple, classic and iconic, much like a vintage Porsche 356.

 

i respect that E i love how they look on the wrist and their simplicity is what makes me appreciate seeing them for sure! but perhaps it is the fact that they don't have red accents that does not make me allured? i only noticed this after probably buying 4 watches, that they ALL had red accents!
i have 2 red cars, and 4 cars with red interior and i SWEAR that red is NOOOOOTTT my favourite colour

if i ever buy a panerai it will be solely for the strap-swaps! it's amazing how many straps can work for one single watch

 

I think it looks amazing on bracelet!

Yup, I want it for daily.

Agreed!

Yup, it's $$$$!!! hahaha

 

I am really liking the new 5940J. I didn't think I would like the shape of the case. However, when I tried the piece on, it sat perfectly on my wrist.

 

really nice looking, but I think the gold is a litlle bit blingbling-esque yellowish

 

Gold really cheapens it for me.

It fits his wrist well tho.

 

Stunning perpetual. That in red gold vs yellow would be awesome.

Speaking of perps, this one looks sweet. A pilot perp for someone who thinks 46mm iwc is too big (and expensive)

Umm.. I am going to disagree. Currently there are 121 different models of wristwatches for men from Patek. Of the 121.. 23 are PT and 14 are SS. Approximately 70% of Patek's current pieces are in one form of gold.. whether yellow, rose or white. Clearly, they know their consumers tastes. In my opinion, a "gold" Patek is the farthest thing from BLING/CHEAP... it's historic, classic and timeless. Look at Patek's auction results in the past decade from Christie's, Sotheby's etc.. they speak for themselves. $5.637mm for a 1527 in yellow gold.. I could go on and on with boring statistics of Patek's sold for astronomical prices in gold.

Patek are master watchmakers from 1839. Just recently, the SS Nautilus/Aquanaut line came about. Patek is so much more than a recent "sporty" model lineup. Their real historic and most notable complicated pieces are in precious metal form dating back to the early 1800's. Most people know nothing about their history and timepieces.. they just see a cool looking SS Nautilus and think they know a Patek. Put a 1527 and a 5980 next to each other. I'd take a guess that approximately 95% of people would choose the Nautilus over the historic gem based on it's looks and because well.. it's not gold.

Cheapens it? A gold Patek.. really? With that said, unfortunately it's not my wrist in the picture above. I didn't have my camera on me when I tried the piece on. That was the best shot I could find of one on the wrist. But it does look good in MY opinion!

 

I'm just in love with the PAM's haha

Yes looking at the picture that PF is not my favorite, but on the wrist looks very good, classy!

 

Gold cheapens any watch. Period.
