Battery powered, if I remember correctly?

I remember seeing a way cool video of all the belts moving around. Looked massive. Way awesome though.

New 5726 on my wrist...

Thanks man. Is that your Patek, or are you just borrowing it? It's gorgeous.

Sadly, this is Patek's Patek. Rightly beautiful though, the new white dials really sing on the wrist.

ctzn, any word on whether the white 5726 will be offered with a strap?

New white dial pateks are not as nice as the grey/black dial versions.

Just my opinion.

White dials are more for markets outside of the good 'ole US of A.

These are not silvered/white as I understand it - they are Flat white. To me, a Patek (even if its in SS) is not a true sports watch. I feel these new white dials left some class at the door.

Doesn't mean anything. They will all sell out and will go for 10% over list within days.

Patek did win this year with the new offerings - AP as well with all the great Royal Oaks. I too love the Rolex Sky Dweller - it really is a novel annual calendar and a great Rolex complication.

Some serious machinery on this page.

My Mile Miglia in the LP640 on it's way to get serviced and then on the way back with the Superleggera.

You know, I thought the same thing about the white dials upon first seeing them last week, but once in my hands and on the wrist I have to say they are fantastic (to my eye). I do consider the Nautilus a gentleman's sports watch with a history to back it up, so it all fits for me. You're certainly right on about them selling for more than list, I predict that this will be a tough one to get your hands on for a reasonable price.

Right on about the new Royal Oak 40th as well, what a stunner that harkens back to the original (before all this Offshore stuff). They will have a great year.
