I agree man, the 5205 has been growing on me a lot. For you, I think it's close to your gondolo case, but the more the merrier.

Anyone know how patek does it's ref numbers? I know there are a lot of similarities, like xx70 is often a manual perpetual calendar with chrono (5970, 5270,3970), but like 5070 is just manual chrono. Like the 5207, that is a perpetual calendar, tourbillon, minute repeater, but the 5205 is just an AC. I do see the similarities in the cases; however, and they both have aperture style calendar. Just wondering if anyone know how they did their ref. and/or had a place to direct me. Hopefully it will make it easier to keep all these numbers straight.


Love the darker dial...

 

That's the watch. Damn. Two days ago I had the dark one on again. The lighter with a brown strap is what I was thinking but the face color has a little too much black to pull off the brown.

Love those watches. Damn.

 

Love them to, the date is awesome! This is a real classic design, and thats what makes it for me!

(Does that make me to an old guy )

Well I don´t care if so

 

Interesting. I think the opposite. For some reason I think it's a far cry from their classic design. The rings add edge and I think it's the freshest feel they have.

 

I agree with mark. I have always, and still do, want a 5146. When mark was telling me about this 5205, and I began looking at it, the first thing I thought was (given that I am years away from owning one of these): it depends on my age, younger go for 5205, older go for 5146. that was my exact thought! So, I agree that the case style, and size (not many pateks 40mm or larger) makes this a more modern and youthful PP.

 

Do you have a pic? I bet the lighter one on a dark brown strap would look awesome.

 

I don't. I've just held it with a brown strap next to it.

 

I was not meaning the development of Phatek, I was reffering to the actual watches on the pic, but, oh well, I gonna leave you on your own having your little Phatek party here

 

It's a patek thread
