Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

My first real post here, apart from saying hello a week or so ago.

 

My wonderful Patek Philippe Chronograph arrived just over a week ago and I haven’t stopped admiring it since.

 

The workmanship on this watch has been carried out with great precision and I am extremely impressed by the attention to detail.

 

This is an attractive watch in my opinion, with a clean looking guilloche dial, and elegant blued hands which catch the light nicely.

The case has a flawless finish which is polished to a mirror-like shine. Detailing around the lugs, push buttons and crown is just amazing.

 

On top of that…it has a most beautifully engineered movement, seen through the sapphire crystal display case back.

 

Functions

Chronograph 9 o'clock sub-dial :

Perpetual Second hand.

3 o'clock sub-Dial : 30 Minutes Chronograph register.

6 o'clock sub-Dial : Power-Reserve Gauge.

2 o'clock sub-button : Starts & Stops Chronograph.

4 o'clock sub-button : Resets Chronograph.

 

Size & Weight

Weight: 83g.

Case diameter: 43mm (Stem excluded).

Thickness: 13mm.

21600 VPH, Manual Hand-Winding Movement.

Hack mechanism.

Power-Reserve Gauge fully functioning indicator which indicates up to 50 hours of power. I am pleased to say it has been running continuously for a week and keeping perfect time to within a second or two per week! The winding action feels very smooth yet positive….an altogether class act!

All the photos I took are posted on the photobucket site, the rest were either out of focus or badly lit.

 

I have to say the watch has been running for over 3 weeks now and is keeping VERY good time.

 

Am I allowed to give the website details of where I bought this? (Google ....TrustyTime Watches)

 

Well recommended.

 

Is there any particular part of the watch you would like to see on greater detail?
