Introducing: The Patek Philippe 5327, A Brand New Perpetual Calendar Model In A New 39mm Case (Live
This year, Patek put the focus on higher end complications, not the least of which is the perpetual calendar. We have an entirely new reference in the 5327, which is very much the same in the grand scheme of things, thought very much different in the world of Patek Philippe. The watch replaces the 5140, though the 5140 will remain in production in a black tuxedo dial and a new grey dial, both in platinum for a limited time. The 5327's story is all about the case and dial, and in some way offers a lot of what modern Patek buyers might want �C a larger case and Breguet dial. 1 OF 3 The 5327 shares a similar case design to the Calatrava 5227. First, one must understand that the 5327 uses the very same movement that has existed with Patek perpetuals for 35+ years �C caliber 240Q. So that means, technically, you'll have roughly the same movement as you'll see in the 5140 and the 3940 before that. With that comes a great micro-rotor, self-winding caliber that is quite thin,

Gone to a rubber strap on my PO....
... and I may never go back!The PO 45.5mm fits my wrist perfectly and I like the weight of the watch on the bracelet. That's one of the things that sold me on these watch.But after several years on the S/S bracelet I got tired of the same old look so I purchased the black rubber strap with tang buckle.... L O V E I T !!!Now I think on need a blue rubber strap for my SMP!

Another Example of Poor Patek Customer Service
When our home was broken into a couple weeks ago I lost a number of watches and was advised to contact manufacturers with serial numbers, etc. Lange and AP replied within 24 hours, and after receiving my information followed up (including a call from Germany by Lange!) to let me know my watches were registered as having been stolen, how their registry worked, who to contact with further questions, etc.I have now sent several emails to Patek over the past two weeks without any reply whatsoever.I will be replacing the Lange and AP watches pretty soon - may hold off on further purchases from Patek.

Pam728 box?
Hi allRandom neurotic thought. I know panerai sometimes does special boxes for special editions with some accessories or strap changing tools - but when I bought my 728, it came with an ordinary box. The box is quite lovely in a blondish type wood. But does anyone know if there is a magical life changing box (ha!) or an I just overthinking this ? Thanks in advance.

GMT 16710 and the "old" Rolex sport watches....
Hi,As discussed many times before, the prices on pieces like 16710 are high at the moment. Do you think that this is due to some kind of hype or is this a situation that we will see long term? The pieces that are more semi vintage like 16610 and 16710, what do you think will happen then the new generation of gmt's will be presented? Will the 116710 be the new 16710...?Speculations, but what do you think?
