Does an eyesore qualify as some kind of ulcer?

now that it's more or less confirmed leaked. This is lazier than apple designers.

Quite a shame.

I’m trying to like this.. but I think any PP fan who is honest with themselves will find this a laughable, lazy attempt at doing something “different”. It’s an embarrassment for the brand.

H. Moser has some really lovely designs. Very rare too. Just saying.

This feels more like a private equity group or LVMH would've released this if they bought Patek, and not Patek themselves. Lacks creativity and Patek DNA

Sterns should look at Cartier and have a group of people who provide inputs in the design process, and a CEO who understands clients' desires

Much like the code 1159 the name is the worst part about it. Is it special or groundbreaking? Obviously not. Is it horribly bad objectively? No.

Is the name better than what a moron could come up with after 28 beers? No again.

The amount of people up in arms about this is pretty humorous.

My thought is that eventually, the majority of folks here on this forum will either own or try to get their hands on a cubitus from their AD over the next year.

At the end of the day, it's a fairly practical steel patek and a lower entry price... no doubt this will sell.

I am convinced Arnault will eventually try to buy Patek. With these awful designs (in a market downturn), he may end up paying much less than what the brand was worth a couple years ago…

Im going to guess there will be 4 models being released at the very minimum
2 for ladies and 2 for men
For all the people who don't like im sure there will be many who will
If it fails to live up to the hype for the ones who do like it they should get it a lot easier
every cloud has a silver lining you won't win over everyone and they have a very uphill battle trying to create something that could take the reigns over the other sports models

Personally not sure how I feel about it. I guess I still need to process it but my first take is that it is not my taste.

Reading the forum, it seems that reactions are diverse.

However, what is sure is that I find it quite lazy and disappointing.

I really, really hope these are fake leaks. I suspect they are not real, and very much hope I am right (as others have also stated).

If real, I have zero interest in this watch. Massively disappointing.

Bedsore and eyesore. Could have been a cool name for a Flieger-themed watch. The I-Soar.

The blue dial, day date moonphase is okay. I don't hate it or like it, but it's okay. The dial is very busy and a bit cramped though. Not sure a panorama datum was the right choice. It's going to take some time getting used to.

Not sure why they had to invoke the Nautilus with the flanks though. I think it would have looked better without them.

Somehow, the time only doesn't do it for me at all. It's very.....severe is the best word I can use. Oddly, opposite to the blue dial, the time only green has almost too much blank dial space. This is the model that could really do without those Nautilus flanks.

It's kinda like they got stuck between a tank-like dress watch and the Nautilus.

I dunno. I'm sure it's going to costs a fortune, so what does it matter to me. But if I had the money, I think I would spend it elsewhere on the Patek line.

Now if it's relatively "inexpensive", I might give it a try.

It's just.....weird.

IMO they are fake. I will be shocked if this is the watch.

I'm kinda hoping you are right. I will be bit shocked if this was really the direction they were going.

It reminds me of this (and it is not good memories). I strongly believe Genta’s groundbreaking designs shouldn’t be messed with.

In 20 years from now they will do the « Triangulus » line.

At least we will finally see some Patek Steel Sport Line UNDER retail. WoW.
