Patek Philippe

Here is one of Patek's hot new wristwatches. What do you think of this watch? Would you pay over 30 grand for this bad boy? If so could you actually afford it? I will be honest I would pay it if I had it.

Comments

I won't pay.

What does YMMV mean?

It's a classic case of YMMV. If I had to wear it daily, I wouldn't trade my Navitimer for it, or even my Oris Meistertaucher, which seems to get about 80% of my wrist time.

I understand where you are both coming from. I mean the watch is way overpriced, but the name commands this price and I like the look a lot. Although I think a sporty look like this should probably be priced more around the $5000 price range.

When I first saw a photo of this watch in a magazine, I initially thought it was some painfully unattractive 70's watch. I had to reread the text a few times before I could accept the truth. Though I really like the Calatrava, this new design travesty, plus the unconvincing father & son ad campaigns, is really turning me off of Patek.

I love Patek's dress watches, but I've always thought the Nautilus was a dreadful sport watch - it's homely beyond belief. Honestly, if it wasn't a Patek, would anyone buy it?
