    Anyone else waking up early tomororw? I’m very excited about the rest of the Patek releases.

    Nautilus was just the first release. They wanted to get it out of the way. Tomororw at 8:00 eastern the rest of the new models for 2021. Check out www.Patek.com

    have heard rumors of a new Calatrava line. Other than that- not sure...

    I have my 5270 coming in a few months so not sure what else I wanna get right now. Something special has to really catch my eye to want it.

    Hoping for more larger 42mm pieces as I prefer those most.

    Uninspiring. If this is all they have coming right now- absolutely nothing of interest to me.

    The 5236 is probably the only thing today that caught my eye. Im happy with my incoming 5270 and really dont want anything else other than the green faced nautilus:

    I don’t like the treatment of the daydatemonth all squashed together like that

    Other than the 5236, rest of Patek release was unimpressive to me. But I guess it’s like that every year. You wait for the new releases and there is usually maybe one watch that catches my
    Eye. The perpetual calendar is nice but not as nice as my 5270 imho. The calatrava/ I don’t give two shafts about. To small for me to even care. The nautilus is fine but nothing new there.

    Glad though they didn’t put out anything else that was exciting by to me cause it saved me a ton of money!

    Spoke to my AD. Doubtful he will be able to get me a 5711 green face. He is getting 2 pieces and they are going to some heavy hitter minute repeater owners.

    Oh well. It was 40mm. I prefer bigger watches even though I love the green face. 5270 can’t come soon enough.

    My collection of mostly Pateks is up 66% according to Chrono 24. Create an account, plug in all your watches and it shows you what you paid and what they are theoretically worth.

    A completely mindless exercise that makes me smile and go buy another piece. :)

    Actually it is 6% less.. I am mad that they raised the commission.
