My Patek

[mbjoer 0]

Since I saw this topic I liked this model. It just looks great on the pictures.

 

So when a similar one came up for a private sale I jumped to get it.

 

So this is what I got:

 

 

Same as King O's above, but with a cream dial and AR treatment. From the front it looks and feels like a real PP, even if it is a fantasy.

 

The colour scheme is typical of Patek and it is very elegant.

 

 

I also liked the idea of a flip back, again something very Patek.

 

From the back and unopened it looks good:

 

 

The movement is a (Swiss?) ETA, and looks good if you are not familiar with Pateks own movements:

 

 

Unfortunately the inside is not too well executed.

 

While it has all the hallmarks it should have - and full credit for that - they are so shallow that they can barely be seen and certainly not convince the untrained eye. In my books a big negative as my threshold is the extent to which a watch is plausible, rather than accurate:

 

 

Also the hinge could have been better made. In all a bit of a shame because the flip back is a main feature of this watch.

 

Still I think I will keep it.

 

Finally some wrist shots:

I love the simplicity of the dial, keeping it simple makes a PP rep more believable IMO
